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

ss7ja [257]

<u>Answer:</u>

The equation could be used to find out how many inches of yarn will be left when Kendall has finished the project is option D. Not enough information is given

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, Kendall has 37 inches of yarn to create an outline of the Big Dipper for her science project.  

We have to find which equation could be used to find out how many inches of yarn will be left when she has finished the project?  

In order to find how many inches of yarn left we just need to subtract the used amount of yarn from available piece of yarn, but we are not given any information about the amount of used piece of yarn.  

So, not enough information is given,

Hence, option d is correct

Explain how to write 5/3 as a product of a whole number and unit fraction
777dan777 [17]
Since they want a product, that means multiplication. We want to multiply a whole number and a fraction to get 5/3. When we multiply fractions, you multiply across the numerator and across the denominator. So in this case we want to multiply 2 numbers to get 5 a decimal 2 numbers to get 3. Each of these numbers only have 2 factors so
5 × 1 = 5 and
3 × 1 = 3

So we are going to multiply

5 × 1/3 =
5/1 × 1/3 = 5/3

The graph below shows the distance (y) between Hannah and her home, in km, after a certain time (x), in hours:
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Alright, from the graph, we know that Hannah's distance between hour 2 and hour 4 isn't uniform, so what we need to do is break the graph down a little.

When we break it down, we learn that Hannah's distance between hour 2 and hour 3 is decreasing because the y value decreases, and that Hannah's distance between hour 3 and hour 4 is increasing, because the y value starts increasing again.

Once we know that, all that's left is to match it up with the choices given. We can eliminate choices A and D because Hannah's distance between hour 2 and hour 4 isn't uniform, leaving us with B and C.

Between hours 2 and 3, we know that Hannah's distance is decreasing because the y value decreases, giving you your answer, which is C!
