In a poker hand, John has a very strong hand and bets 5 dollars. The probability that Mary has a better hand is .04. If Mary had

a better hand she would raise with probability .9, but with a poorer hand she would only raise with probability .1. If Mary raises, what is the probability that she has a better hand than John does?

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

169= (24/2)^2 +(d/2)^2
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: d = ±10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

169 = (\frac{24}{2})^{2} + (\frac{d}{2})^{2}

169 = (12)² + \frac{d^{2}}{4}

169 = 144  + \frac{d^{2}}{4}

25 =            \frac{d^{2}}{4}

100 = d²

√100 = √d²

 ±10 = d

I just need the coordinates
Viefleur [7K]

There are no coordinates for an equation like this, you have to just graph the problem. Just try graphing something similar to this (or just include this image). Hope this helps!

Find the slope of a line if the points (2,-1) and (5,3) are on the line
Romashka [77]

Answer:

\huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{4}{3} }}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: the \: points \: be \: A \: and \: B}}

\star{ \sf{ \: Let \: a(2,-1)  \: be \: (x1 \:, y1) \: and \: b (5,3)  \: be \: (x2 \:, y2)}}

\underline{ \sf{Finding \: the \: slope \: of \: the \: line}}

\boxed{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{3 - ( - 1)}{5 - 2} }}

\mapsto{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{3 + 1}{5 - 2}}}

\mapsto{ \sf{Slope =  \frac{4}{3} }}

Hope I helped!

Best regards! :D
