Two coins are in a hat. The coins look alike, but one coin is fair (with probability 1/2 of Heads), while the other coin is bias

ed, with probability 1/4 of Heads. One of the coins is randomly pulled from the hat, without knowing which of the two it is. Call the chosen coin "Coin C". Coin c is tossed twice, showing heads both times. Given this information, what is the probability that coin c is the fair coin?

Answer:

0.8 or 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the fair coin was picked and then tossed twice showing heads both times is:

P(F) = 0.5*0.5^2\\P(F)=0.125

The probability that the biased coin was picked and then tossed twice showing heads both times is:

P(B) = 0.5*0.25^2\\P(B)=0.03125

Therefore, the probability that the chosen coin is the fair coin is:

P(C=F) = \frac{P(F)}{P(F)+P(B)}=\frac{0.125}{0.125+0.03125} \\P(C=F) = 0.8 = 80\%

The probability is 0.8 or 80%

D.

f(x) can be written as (x+2)(x-2)(x-1)
by using difference of two squares to expand x^2 - 4 whch yields 3 x intercepts

similarly, k(x) can be written as
x(x+5)(x-5) which also yields 3
x intercepts (0,-5, and 5)

Which pair of angles are supplementary? ​
PolarNik [594]

Answer: H

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles just mean they add up to 180 degrees. 180 degrees means that when the two angles are put together one of each of their sides will form a straight line.

An air traffic controller is tracking two planes. To start, Plane A is at an altitude of 4385 feet and Plane B is at an altitude
Fantom [35]

Answer:

60 seconds, 7715 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Plane A and B start out 615 feet apart, and we find this by subtracting the height of plane A from plane B, getting 5000-4385=615. Now we have to find how many more feet of altitude plane A is gaining per second over plane B.

To find this we subtract 45.25 from 55.5 and get 10.25 feet per second. Now to find out how many seconds until they'll be at the same altitude we simply divide 615 by 10.25, getting 60 seconds.

For the second part, to find the altitude at this point, we simply multiply the altitude gain of one of the planes per second by the time of 60 seconds to get how much altitude they gained over that time, and add it to the starting altitude. Doing this with plane B we get 45.25*60=2715, and we add that to 5000 to get the final answer of 7715.
