Normally when dealing with coins the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.5 each. However in this case since its an unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.2. 
H - head 
T - tails
R - red marble
pr (H) = 0.2
urn
6 red and 4 blue
pr (T)   = 0.8
urn
3 red and 5 blue

when heads is obtained 
red - 6/10 -0.6
blue - 4/10 - 0.4
therefore when multiplying with 0.2 probability of getting heads
pr (R ∩ H) red - 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

when tails is obtained 
red - 3/8 - 0.375
blue - 5/8 - 0.625
when multiplying with 0.8 probability of getting tails
pr (R ∩ T) red - 0.375 * 0.8 = 0.3

using bayes rule the answer can be found out, 
the following equation is used;
pr (H | R) = pr (R ∩ H) / {pr (R ∩ H) + pr (R ∩ T)}
               = 0.12 / (0.12 + 0.3)
               = 0.12 / 0.42
               = 0.286
the final answer is 0.286

A regular octagon with sides of length 7 and an apothem of length 10.49 has an area of how many square units
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The area of the regular octagon is 293.72\ units^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The area of the regular polygon is equal to

A=\frac{1}{2}Pa

where

P is the perimeter of the regular polygon

a is the apothem

<em>Find the perimeter P</em>

P=8(7)=56\ units

Find the area

A=\frac{1}{2}(56)(10.49)=293.72\ units^{2}

What is two equivalent was to write 62.5%
Arturiano [62]
62.5%

Percents are parts of 100, so write 62.5 as a fraction over 100:

62.5/100

Divide the numerator and denominator by 12.5:

62.5 / 12.5 = 5
100 / 12.5 = 8

5/8

This is one form.

62.5 / 100 = 0.625

This is another form.

Can anyone explain to me how to solve this?<br><br> -5x-10=2-(x+4)
Llana [10]
-5x-10=2(x-4)
-5x-10=(2•x)(2•(-4)
-5x-10=2x-8
-5x-10+10=2x-8+10
-5x=2x+2
-5x-2x=2x-2x+2
-3x=2
-3x\-3=2\-3
x=0.666
x=0.67
