You flip a coin that is not fair, the prbability of heads on each flip is 0.7. if the coin shows heads, you draw a marble from u

rn h with 1 blue and 4 red marbles. if the coin shows tails, you draw a marble from urn t with 3 blue and 1 red marble. Find the following probabilities:
a. The probability of choosing a red marble.
b. The probability of choosing a blue marble, given that the coin showed heads.
c. The probability that the coin showed tails, given that the marble was red.

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

3.5x + 6.5y= 1800 <br><br> WRITE IN SLOPE INTERCEPT FORM!<br> show all work
Zigmanuir [339]
3.5x + 6.5y = 1800
Move 3.5x to another side.
6.5y = -3.5x +1800
Divide by 6.5.
y = -3.5/6.5x + 1800
If we round it would be:
Y = 0.5x + 1800
0.5x is the slope and 1800 is the y-intercept.
Hope that helps.
