A fair coin is flipped three times. Events A and B are defined as: A: there are at least two consecutive heads somewhere in the

sequence B: at least one flip comes up tails What is p(A | B)?

Answer:

2 / 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin flipped 3 times has following outcomes, of heads 'H' & Tails 'T'

HHH , TTT , HTT, THT , TTH , THH , HTH , HHT  = total outcomes

P (A) = 2 consecutive heads , P (B) = atleast one tail

P (A) = 2 outcomes ( HHH , HHT , THH ) / total 8 outcomes = 3 / 8

P (B) = 7 outcomes (all except HHH) / total 8 outcomes = 7 / 8

P (A | B) = P ( A ∩ B ) / P (B)

P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( 2 consecutive heads & atleast one tail) / Total outcomes =   2 outcomes ( HHT , THH ) / total 8 outcomes = 2 / 8

So, P (A | B) = ( 2 / 8 ) /  ( 7 / 8 ) = 2 / 7

How to determine if the columns of a matrix are linearly independent?
astra-53 [7]
Let's consider an arbitrary 2x2 matrix as an example,

\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}\mathbf x&\mathbf y\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}x_1&y_1\\x_2&y_2\end{bmatrix}

The columns of \mathbf A are linearly independent if and only if the column vectors \mathbf x,\mathbf y are linearly independent.

This is the case if the only way we can make a linear combination of \mathbf x,\mathbf y reduce to the zero vector is to multiply the vectors by 0; that is,

c_1\mathbf x+c_2\mathbf y=\mathbf 0

only by letting c_1=c_2=0.

A more concrete example: suppose

\mathbf A=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\4&8\end{bmatrix}

Here, \mathbf x=\begin{bmatrix}1\\4\end{bmatrix} and \amthbf y=\begin{bmatrix}2\\8\end{bmatrix}. Notice that we can get the zero vector by taking c_1=-2 and c_2=1:

-2\begin{bmatrix}1\\4\end{bmatrix}+\begin{bmatrix}2\\8\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-2+2\\-8+8\end{bmatrix}=\mathbf 0

so the columns of \mathbf A are not linearly independent, or linearly dependent.

The elevation at ground level is 0 feet. An elevator starts 90 feet below ground level. After traveling for 15 seconds, the elev
sweet [91]
The answer is -4 2/3

Explanation : The elevator is at 0, and went below ground level 90 feet, that would be -90, then it went up 20 feet, which would be -90 + 20 = -70

-70 ft / 15sec = - 4 2/3

I am not sure about the ground level and negative difference but that it is what I was taught. Below ground level is negative and above is positive. Therefore the elevator traveled up and it traveled -4 2/3 per second.
It so either 4 2/3 or - 4 2/3 but pretty sure it is - 4 2/3.
