Solution :

P(H) = 0.7  ;  P(T) = 0.3

If heads, then Urn H,  1 blue and 4 red marbles.

If tails, then Urn T ,  3 blue and 1 red marbles.

a).

P ( choosing a Red marble )

= P (H) x P( Red from Urn H) + P (T) x P( Red from Urn T)

$=0.7 \times  \frac{4}{5} + 0.3 \times \frac{1}{4}$

= 0.56 + 0.075

= 0.635

b).  If P (B, if coin showed heads)

If heads, then marble is picked from Urn H.

Therefore,

P (Blue) $=\frac{1}{5}$

             = 0.2

c). P (Tails, if marble was red)

$=P (T/R) = \frac{P(R/T)}{P(R)}  \ P(T)$

Where P (R/T) = P ( red, if coin showed tails)

                        $=\frac{1}{4}$

                        = 0.25 (As Urn T is chosen)

P (R) =  P (Red) = 0.635 (from part (a) )

P (T) = P (Tails) = 0.3

∴ $P(T/R) = \frac{0.25 \times 0.3}{0.635}$

                = 0.118

Which of the following is the standard form of 36 / 24​
RSB [31]

Answer:

15 x 10^-1

Step-by-step explanation:

36÷24=1.5

In this case I'm considering 15 as the base of my standard form.

To make 15 a 1.5, you'll have to move from right to left one unit and on the number line moving from the right to left gives you a negative number of units moved

HELP?! PLEASE! Which point is a reflection of7(-6.5,1) across the x-axis and y-axis?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Dont need to worry

First, start off with the x-axis. -6.5, 1 becomes 6.5, 1. This is because point T is 6.5 to the left of the x-axis line, so our new point would be 6.5 to the right of the x-axis line. Same thing for the y-axis, (6.5, 1) would become (6.5, -1).
