Box A contains 1 black and 3 white marbles, and box B contains 2 black and 4 white marbles. A box is selected at random, then a

marble is drawn at random from the selected box. Given that the marble is black, find the probability that Box A was chosen.

Answer: Probability that Box A was chosen given that black marble is chosen is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes = 2

In Box A,

Number of black marbles = 1

Number of white marbles = 3

In Box B,

Number of black marbles = 2

Number of white marbles = 4

Since black marble is selected.

So, using Bayes theorem , we get that

P(E_1|B)}=\dfrac{P(E_1).P(B|E_1)}{P(E_1).P(B|E_1)+P(E_2).P(E_2|B)}\\\\P(E_1|B)=\dfrac{0.5\times \dfrac{1}{3}}{0.5\dfrac{1}{3}+0.5\times \dfrac{2}{6}}\\\\P(E_1|B)}=\dfrac{0.167}{0.167+0.167}\\\\P(E_1|B)}=0.5

Hence, probability that Box A was chosen given that black marble is chosen is 0.5.

Graph the lines by finding the points of intersection with the axes (intercepts): y=−6x−2
Musya8 [376]

So, we know the slope equation y = mx + b. The b value represents the y intercept, which is the point where the line intersects the y axis. This means that the x value will always be 0. In this equation, the y-intercept is -2, so the y intercept as an ordered pair is : (0, -2). For the x intercept, there are several ways of doing it. For this problem, we can work backwards. There is a slope of 6 units down for every unit right. Starting from our y intercept, we can do the opposite: 6 units up for every unit left. this means our x intercept is -0.3. As an ordered pair, this is (-0.3, 0).

4x + 5 2x - 1
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

x= 11

Step-by-step explanation:

4x+5/7 =2x-1/3

multiply both of the equation by 7 first

4x+5/7 times 7 = 2x-1/3 times 7

4x+5= (2x-1)7/3

now multiply 3 to both sides

3(4x+5)= (2x-1)7/3 times 3

3(4x+5)= (2x-1)7

now you should distribute on both sides

(4x times 3)+(5 times 3)= (2x times 7)-( 1 times 7)

12x+15= 14x-7

subtract 12x from both sides

12x-12x+15= 14x-12x-7

15= 2x-7

add 7 to both sides

15+7= 2x-7+7

22= 2x

divided both sides by 2

22/2 = 2x/2

11=x
