Exercise 10.4.1: Bayes' Theorem - detecting a biased coin. About (a) Sally has two coins. The first coin is a fair coin and the

second coin is biased. The biased coin comes up heads with probability .75 and tails with probability .25. She selects a coin at random and flips the coin ten times. The results of the coin flips are mutually independent. The result of the 10 flips is: T,T,H,T,H,T,T,T,H,T. What is the probability that she selected the biased coin

Answer:

0.026

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the result of 10 coin flips :

T,T,H,T,H,T,T,T,H,T

Number of Heads, H = 3

Number of tails, T = 7

Let :

B = biased coin

B' = non-biased coin

E = event

Probability that it is the biased coin:

P(E Given biased coin) / P(E Given biased coin) * P(E Given non-biased coin) * P(non-biased coin)

P(E|B)P(B) / (P(E|B)*P(B) + P(E|B')P(B')

([(0.75^3) * (0.25^7)] * 0.5) /([(0.75^3) * (0.25^7)] * 0.5) + (0.5^10) * 0.5

0.0000128746 / 0.00050115585

= 0.0263671875

How many x-intercepts does the graph of each quadratic equation have? Show your work.
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In each case we find the discriminant b^2 - 4ac.

If the discriminant is negative, we have two unequal, complex roots.

If the discriminant is zero. we have two equal, real roots.

If the discriminant is positive, we  have two unequal real roots.

#51:  8v^2 - 12v + 9:  the discriminant is (-12)^2 - 4(8)(9) = -144.  we have two unequal, complex roots

#52:  (-11)^2 - 4(4)(-14) = 121 + 224 = 345.  we  have two unequal real roots.

#53:  (-5)^2 - 4(7)(6) = 25 - 168 (negative).  we have two unequal, complex roots.

#54:  (4)^2 - 16 = 0.  We have two equal, real roots.
