Suppose a box contains 10 coins, where three of them are type-A and seven of them are type-B. The probability of head is 0.4 if

we toss a type-A coin and 0.6 for a type-B coin. One person chooses one coin at random and tosses it three times. What is the probability that this coin is type-A if the outcome is two heads out of three tosses?

Answer:

0.222

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  that:

For Type A coins = 3

The probability of head in a type A coin i.e. (p) = 0.4

Then, the probability of getting a tail (q) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

For Type B coins = 7

The probability of head in a type B coin i.e. (p) = 0.6

Then, the probability of getting a tail (q) = 1 - p = 1 - 0.6 = 0.4

One person who tosses a coin three times get a probability of obtaining a head twice.

Using, the formula:

=^nC_r \times p^r \times q^{n-r}

For Type A coin;

The probability of getting two heads in three tosses is:

= ^3C_2 \times 0.4^2 \times 0.6^{1}

=\dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} \times 0.4^2 \times 0.6^1

= 0.288

For Type B coin;

The probability of getting two heads in three tosses is:

= ^3C_2 \times 0.6^2 \times 0.4^{1}

=\dfrac{3!}{2!(3-2)!} \times 0.6^2 \times 0.4^1

= 0.432

Since we have two heads out of three tosses, the probability that the coin is type A is = (P) of choosing coin A × (P) of obtaining two heads from three tosses) / total probability of getting two heads from three tosses.

However;

(P) of choosing coin A = 3/10 = 0.3

(P) of choosing coin B = 7/10 = 0.7

∴

Given that, we obtain two head from three tosses, the (P) that the coin type is A is:

= \dfrac{(0.3 \times 0.288)}{ (0.3 \times 0.288 + 0.7 \times 0.432)}

= \dfrac{(0.0864)}{ (0.0864 + 0.3024)}

= 0.222

a hose fills a hot tub at a rate of 3.59 gallons per minute. how many hours will it take to fill a 309 gallon hot tub​
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

about 1.43 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use your original equation to find how many minutes it takes to fill up the 309 gallon hot tub.

3.59x=309

x= how many minutes it takes to fill up a certain gallon.

Divide both sides by 3.59 to isolate x and you get x=86.0724234.

That is how many minutes it takes.

The question asks for how many hours, so that divide 86.0724234 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and you get 1.43454039 or 1.43 hours.

There is also another way which is called dimensional analysis, but I don't know if you guys learned that yet.

Hope my answer helps!

How do i find a formula for "1+3+5+7+......+(2n-1)
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

common difference d=3-1=2

first term a=1

an=a+(n-1)d

2n-1=1+(l-1)2

2n-1=1+2l-2

2n-1=2l-1

l=n

(i used l for number of terms)

number of terms=n

S_{n}=\frac{n}{2} (first ~term+last~term)\\=\frac{n}{2} (1+2n-1)\\=n^2

Serjik [45]

*See attachment for the diagram

Answer:

Tan 60 = √3

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: SOHCAHTOA

Thus,

Tan 60 = Opp/Hyp

From the diagram given,

Opp = YZ = ?

Hypotenuse = XY = 42

Find the length of YZ using Pythagorean Theorem:

YZ = √(42² - 21²) = √1,323

YZ = √(441 × 3) = 21√3

✔️Find Tan(60):

Tan 60 = Opp/Hyp = YZ/XY

Tan 60 = (21√3)/21

Tan 60 = √3
