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.

When truckers are on long-haul drives, their driving logs must reflect their average speed. Average speed is the total distance
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

0.500 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

<em><u>Distance</u></em>

  • Total Distance on the highway = 3hr * 60 miles / hr = 180 miles
  • Distance in the city = 20 miles
  • Total Distance = 180 + 20 = 200 miles

<em><u>Time</u></em>

  • Time on the highway = 3 hours
  • Time in the city = x

Formula

d /t = r

Solution

  • Average rate = 57.14
  • Total Distance / Total Time = average rate
  • 200 / (3 + x) = 57.14                               Multiply both sides by 3 + x
  • 200 = 57.14 * (3 + x)                               Remove the brackets
  • 200 = 57.14*3 + 57.14x                           Multiply the factors on the right
  • 200 = 171.42 + 57.14x                              Subtract 171.42 from both sides.
  • 200 - 171.42 = 171.42 - 171.42 + 57.14x   So the subtraction
  • 28.58 = 57.14x                                         Divide by 57.14
  • 28.57/57.14 = x
  • x = 0.500 hour                                        Answer

The figure below is made up of two rectangles.
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Total area of figure = [3x² + 7x + 6] feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

By dividing both rectangle by vertical line;

Given:

Length of big rectangle = (x + 3) feet

Width of big rectangle = (x + 2) feet

Length of small rectangle = 2x feet

Width of small rectangle = (x + 1) feet

Find:

Total area of figure

Computation:

Area of rectangle = Length x width

Total area of figure = Area of big rectangle + Area of small rectangle

Total area of figure = [(x + 3)(x + 2)] + [(2x)(x + 1)]

Total area of figure = [x²+ 2x + 3x + 6] + [2x² + 2x]

Total area of figure = [3x² + 7x + 6] feet²
