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.

If (x,y) is a solution to the system of equations shown below, what is the product of the y-coordinates of the solutions? x^2+4y
aliina [53]

Answer:

The product of the y-coordinates of the solutions is equal to 3

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

x^{2}+4y^{2}=40 -----> equation A

x+2y=8 ------> equation B

Solve by graphing

Remember that the solutions of the system of equations are the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solutions are the points (2,3) and (6,1)

see the attached figure

The y-coordinates of the solutions are 3 and 1

therefore

The product of the y-coordinates of the solutions is equal to

(3)(1)=3
