A bag contains two coins, one for which the probability of heads is equal to 1 and one for which the probability of heads is equ

al to p. A coin is selected at random, and three independent tosses of this coin result in three heads. What is the probability that a further independent toss of this coin will produce a head?a. p4/1 + p3.b. p3 - p2/1 + p3.c. p3/1 - p.d. 1/1 + p3.e. 1 + p4/1 + p3.

Answer: Option E is the correct answer; (1 + p⁴) / (1 + p³)

Step-by-step explanation:

P (3 head) = P(first and 3 heads) + P(second coin and 3 heads)

= (1/2)×1³ + (1/2)× p³ = (1/2) × (1 + p³)

therefore P(first coin given 3 heads) = (1/2)×1³/ ((1/2)×(1 + p³))

= 1 / (1 + p³)

Also P( second coin given 3 heads) = p³ /(1 + p³)

therefore P(4th toss in heads given first 3 are heads)  will be;

= P(first and 4th toss heads) + P(second and 4th toss heads)

=(1/( 1 + p³ )) × 1 + p³ / (1+p³) × p

= (1 + p⁴) / (1 + p³)

Therefore Option E is the correct answer

In a school, 30% of the students arrived by private car, 15 travel by taxi and the remainder walk to school. If the school has a
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

57.5 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

The 30% students would be arrived by private car

So 15% would be travelled by taxi

And, the remaining i.e. 55% would be walk to school

Since the population of the school is 230

So by car, the students would be

= 230 × 0.30

= 69

By walk, the students would be

= 230 × 0.55  

= 126.50

Now the more students would be

= 126.50 - 69

= 57.5 students

Come up with your own system to measure angles. What would you call your unit of measure and how would it work. Describe your sy
aleksley [76]

Answer:

You can try a picture memory method to help students

An example write down notes of what the triangle laws are for angles.

Then interpret them into your picture measurement theory.

Example could be the perpendicular measures of a right angle can be used

to find an area would be the M but as we are finding angles we could use the Big A instead of degrees sign.

We could provide pictures of cars to represent trigonometry

Where back wheels opposite angles and sides from slant are both the unit measure used in  Side/sin( A) x sin (B)   so this way you label the car wheel angle above of the square boot 'side on' and this angle is A

The B is the one above it linking the slant to find the other measure.

You are asked to design a theme around measuring angles so you need to look at other sin cos and tan calculus to design a picture that can create an image like i've given to find slant.

You need to one that finds angles.

However if you do find a car can help you can always call it square boot as in square root, considering 2/3 of sin cos and tan are square root measures.

Step-by-step explanation:

See the attached ideas and trigonometry

Picture memory Trigonometry

Picture 1. Sunrise Ah side looks for side measure.

The number above is the hypotenuse

A/H = cos ( ) x hyp =base A/H = cos ( ) x hyp = side

Picture 2.Sunrise Soh looks for side measure.

The number above it is the hypotenuse

O/H = sin ( ) =p (for product) take the p x hyp.

Picture 3 Sunrise Toast (Toa) looks for side measure = O/A

Tan ( lower angle ) x base = side

Picture 4 Side of car (Soh) with window as hypotenuse.

Two wheels are the 2 angles given and the back seat is perpendicular to both wheels =

so the triangle structure looks like this /00|7

so you type in 7/sin ( 1st wheel) x (2nd wheel) = hypotenuse.

Both angles given or worked out this is when this is used.

Picture 5 Electric mast looking for slope SIN =S/P = O/A

Angle at top

We have the side at 70 and looking for the slope

Sin( top angle) = p then side/p = hyp

Picture 6

Top angle and base given creates a T this means half both of them before dividing.

To find hypotenuse

Half = 1/2 base / sin (1/2) = hypotenuse

Picture 7

Top angle and base given creates a T this means half both of them before dividing.

To find height =

Half = 1/2 base /Tan 1/2) = Triangle height.

Key checker after pictures are drawn is;

sunrise = low angle x side or low angle x base = hypotenuse.

car = backseat x wheels = hypotenuse always remember when car on side the first

wheel first, second wheel 2nd first in the calculator. The wheels are the 2 angles that

make the car when flipped.

Half = 1/2 base / sin (1/2) = hypotenuse

Half = 1/2 base / tan (1/2) = height

Just take care with top angle and lower angle key words in the drawing descriptions and then the pictures will help.
