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

Equilateral triangle are also equiangular which means all angles are 60 degrees. thus our needed altitude is the leg of a right triangle with other leg 4 and hypotenuse 8. 4² +a² = 8²

a² = 48
a=√48 = 4√3

I need help please, i don’t not understand

Write in 0 and 0 at the top:  this indicates that if there are zero pennies, the height of the tower is 0.  This is the point (0,0).  Another point is (4, 28):  a tower of 28 pennies is 4 cm tall.

Find the slope of the line connecting (0,0) and (4,28).
            4cm - 0 cm
    m = ----------------- = (1/7) (cm/penny)
            28 - 0

The equation we need, relating # of pennies to height of tower, is 

       t = (1/7) (cm/penny)x, where x is the # of pennies.

Thus, if x = 1, then t=1/7 cm

And, if x =15, then t = 15/7 cm

And so on.
