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

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.<br> x =<br> 98°<br> 27°
Levart [38]

Answer: 55

Step-by-step explanation: There is one simple theorem we need to know in order to solve for this.

Triangle Angle-Sum Property: All three angles interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°.

Thus, we could label the points A, B, and C, and set up an algebraic expression.

Let A = 27, B = 98, and C = x.

A + B + C = 180°.

Substituting A, B, and C we get:

27 + 98 + x = 180°.

Adding, we get:

125 + x = 180°

Subtracting 125 by 180, we get:

x = 55°

Thus, the angle X is 55°.

We could have simply solved this by just doing 180 - 98 - 27 = 55 in the first place, but I wanted to show you how I got such results.

Please help me , thank you
Mama L [17]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

The range are the values that y can take.

From the graph we can see that all defined values of y are below the x- axis

Thus range is y < 0 → b

Nikitich [7]
Split it into 2 equations
2x-9 = 7
2x = 16
x = 8
And another equation
2x-9 = -7
2x = 2
x = 1
The answer is x =1, x= 8
