Answer:

When Mary raises the probability that she has a better hand is 0.273

Step-by-step explanation:

In the poker game it is given that the probability that Mary has a better hand than John is 0.04.

Let the event that Mary has a better hand than John be A.

Let the event that that Mary raises the stakes be B.

It is also given that if Mary has a better hand than John then she would raise with a probability of 0.9

Therefore p(B | A) = 0.9

If Mary has a poorer hand she will raise with a probability of 0.1

Therefore p(B | A') = 0.1

Given that Mary raises the probability that she has a better hand is given by

p(A | B)

 = \frac{p(A\cap B)}{p(B)} = \frac{p(A)p(B | A)}{p(A)p(B | A) + p(A')p(B | A')}  = \frac{(0.04 \times 0.9) }{(0.04 \times 0.9) + (0.96 \times 0.1)}  = \frac{36}{36 + 96}  = \frac{36}{132}  = \frac{3}{11}

= 0.273

So when Mary raises the probability that she has a better hand is 0.273

givi [52]

Answer:

A' (-2,8) B' (-2,-4) C' (4,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Dilations Rule :

(x,y) → (kx,ky)

Scale factor = K

When your scale factor is more than one our triangle gets bigger. When your scale factor is less than one our triangle gets smaller.

( you plug in 2 in every point and those are your answers).

Remember negative times negative is positive and positive times negative is negative.
