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.

Answer:

Option C i.e. 2 and 9, constants have a fixed value is a correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, a constant is basically a fixed value.

Sometimes, a constant is a number for a letter such as a, b, or c for a fixed number.

For example: in ''2x+7=3'', 7 and 3 are constants.

  • <em>Please note that the number with variable x in the term is a coefficient.</em>

<em />

In our case:

Given the equation

3x+2=9

Therefore, 2 and 9 are constants, having a fixed value.

Thus, option C i.e. 2 and 9, constants have a fixed value is a correct option.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line with slope<br> -1/4<br> and y-intercept 4.
Setler [38]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the line is written in the slope-intercept form, which is: y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept. In our equation, y = − 7 x + 4 , we see that the y-intercept of the line is 4.
