You have two biased coins. Coin A comes up heads with probability 0.1. Coin B comes up heads with probability 0.6.However, you a

re not sure which is which, so you choose a coin randomly and flip it. If the flip is heads, you guess that the flipped coin is B. Otherwise, you guess that the flipped coin is A.What is the probability that your guess is correct?

Answer:

The probability that our guess is correct = 0.857.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is based on A Conditional Probability with Biased Coins.

Given data:

P(Head | A) = 0.1

P(Head | B) = 0.6

<u>By using Bayes' theorem:</u>

P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}

We know that P(B) = 0.5 = P(A), because coins A and B are equally likely to be picked.

Now,

P(Head) = P(A) × P(head | A) + P(B) × P(Head | B)

By putting the value, we get

P(Head) = 0.5 × 0.1 + 0.5 × 0.6

P(Head) = 0.35

Now put this value in P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)} , we get

P(B|Head) = P(Head|B) \times \frac{P(B)}{P(Head)}

P(B|Head) = 0.6 \times \frac{0.5}{0.35}

P(B|Head) = 0.857

Similarly.

P(A|Head) = 0.857

Hence, the probability that our guess is correct = 0.857.

What value of x is in the solution set of 2(3x-1) ≥ 4x-6?
Travka [436]
2(3x-1) >=4x-6
6x-2>=4x-6
6x-4x>= -6+2
2x>=-4
x>=-2

You can see after simplification, the valve of x can be any number greater than or equal to -2. i.e -5 and -3 can not be in the solution set. the first choice can be dismissed, the fact the variable O could be any number that may not satisfy the solution. Therefore 0-1 is the answer, any thing between 0 & 1 including 0 and one satisfy the solution set
