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.

Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18mc006-1.jpg inches. What is the area of the circle?
lesantik [10]
The complete question is:
Henry knows that the circumference of a circle is 18π inches. What is the area of the circle?

Solution:
Circumference (C) of the circle can be written as:

C=2 \pi r \\ \\ 18 \pi =2 \pi r \\ \\ r=9

Using this value of radius, we can find the Area(A) of the circle.

A= \pi  r^{2}  \\  \\ &#10;A= \pi (9)^{2}  \\  \\ &#10;A=81 \pi

Therefore, area of the circle having a circumference of 18π inches will be 81π inches²

Anni [7]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

4 more than 3: 3 + 4 = 7

5 out of 9: 5/9

the sum of 6 and 8: 6 + 8 = 14

10 less than 14: 14 - 10 = 4

the product of 3 and 4: 3 * 4 = 12

the ratio of 2 to 3: 2/3

10 decreased by 8: 10 - 8 = 2

the quotient of 23 and 25: 23/23

3 increased by 33: 3 + 33 = 36

50% of 32: 50% * 32 = 0.5 * 32 = 16
