At a carnival you win a prize if you get a heads, you must first choose a coin. There is a fair and a biased coin, while choosin

g each coin is equally likely, the biased coin has a 74% of landing tails. What is the probability of choosing the biased coin if you won a prize. a. 0.2600 b. 0.5968 c. 0.3421 d. 0.5243 e. None of the above

Answer:

c. 0.3421

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the probability of selecting the biased coin is shown below:

The probability of any coin selected is 1 ÷ 2

The probability in the case when the biased coin chosen & wins 1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)

And, the win probability is 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)

Now the probability of biased or win is

=  {1 ÷ 2 (1 - 0.74)} ÷ { 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.74) + 1 ÷ 2  (1 - 0.5)}

= 0.13 ÷ 0.38

= 0.3421

Hence, the correct option is c. 0.3421

I NEED ANSWERS TO A AND B ASAP THIS TEST ENDS IN 2 HRS

Answer:

200.3 cm

210 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the mean add all the numbers up and then divide it by the total number sampled

so we have

(198+199*3+200*2+201*5+202*2)/13

which gives you around 200.3

To find the height of the new player we have the following equation

let x be the height of  the new player

\frac{(198+199*3+200*2+201*5+202*2)+x}{14}=201

solve for x and get

210 cm

Someone please help !! I don’t know what I’m doing with this !!
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

  a) d(sinh(f(x)))/dx = cosh(f(x))·df(x)/dx

  b) d(cosh(f(x))/dx = sinh(f(x))·df(x)/dx

  c) d(tanh(f(x))/dx = sech(f(x))²·df(x)/dx

  d) d(sech(4x+2))/dx = -4sech(4x+2)tanh(4x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To do these, you need to be familiar with the derivatives of hyperbolic functions and with the chain rule.

The chain rule tells you that ...

  (f(g(x)))' = f'(g(x))g'(x) . . . . where the prime indicates the derivative

The attached table tells you the derivatives of the hyperbolic trig functions, so you can answer the first three easily.

__

a) sinh(u)' = sinh'(u)·u' = cosh(u)·u'

For u = f(x), this becomes ...

  sinh(f(x))' = cosh(f(x))·f'(x)

__

b) After the same pattern as in (a), ...

  cosh(f(x))' = sinh(f(x))·f'(x)

__

c) Similarly, ...

  tanh(f(x))' = sech(f(x))²·f'(x)

__

d) For this one, we need the derivative of sech(x) = 1/cosh(x). The power rule applies, so we have ...

  sech(x)' = (cosh(x)^-1)' = -1/cosh(x)²·cosh'(x) = -sinh(x)/cosh(x)²

  sech(x)' = -sech(x)·tanh(x) . . . . . basic formula

Now, we will use this as above.

  sech(4x+2)' = -sech(4x+2)·tanh(4x+2)·(4x+2)'

  sech(4x+2)' = -4·sech(4x+2)·tanh(4x+2)

_____

Here we have used the "prime" notation rather than d( )/dx to indicate the derivative with respect to x. You need to use the notation expected by your grader.

__

<em>Additional comment on notation</em>

Some places we have used fun(x)' and others we have used fun'(x). These are essentially interchangeable when the argument is x. When the argument is some function of x, we mean fun(u)' to be the derivative of the function after it has been evaluated with u as an argument. We mean fun'(u) to be the derivative of the function, which is then evaluated with u as an argument. This distinction makes it possible to write the chain rule as ...

  f(u)' = f'(u)u'

without getting involved in infinite recursion.
