Consider a fair coin, such that the probability of observing a head or a tail in a random toss is 0.5. Consider an experiment in

which the coin is tossed twice and the two outcomes (O1 and O2) are recorded. Obviously, the probability of observing one head and one tails is 0.5 and the probability of observing both heads or both tails is 0.25 each. Consider the following two probabilities: Given the knowledge that there is at least 1 tails, the probability that there is one head observed is pa. If O1 is heads, the probability that O2 is tails is pb Which of the following statements are true: a) pa is 1/2 and pb is 1/2 b) pa is 1/3 and pb is 2/3 c) pa and pb are not equal d) pa is 2/3 and pb is 1/3

Applying probability concepts, it is found that the correct statements are:

  • c) pa and pb are not equal
  • d) pa is 2/3 and pb is 1/3

-------------------------------------------

  • A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The sample space, that is, the possible outcomes for the coin tosses is given next, considering H for heads and T for tails.

H - H

H - T

T - H

T - T

-------------------------------------------

  • Considering that there is at least 1 tails, the new sample space is:

H - T

T - H

T - T

  • pa: probability of one head, two outcomes with 1 head out of three, thus, pa = 2/3.
  • pb: probability that the second is tails, so one outcome(T - T) out of three, thus pb = 1/3.

-------------------------------------------

The correct statements are:

  • c) pa and pb are not equal
  • d) pa is 2/3 and pb is 1/3

What is a detailed example of simple interest?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Car loans, amortized monthly, and retailer installment loans, also calculated monthly, are examples of simple interest; as the loan balance dips with each monthly payment, so does the interest. Certificates of deposit (CDs) pay a specific amount in interest on a set date, representing simple interest

Need help please please i need help thanks ​
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

1) 6 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of balls Elsa can shoot

x + 6 = number of balls Anna can shoot

18 = number of balls together they can shoot

x + (x + 6) = 18

x + x + 6 = 18

2x + 6 = 18

2x = 18 - 6

2x = 12

x = 6

2)2) 20x (3÷ 4)=90 120-90=30 thus left seat has 30 seating capacity.

3)Let x & y be packets of [a] type & [b] type detergent sold

Then 9x +7y =180

Let us say x=7

Then 9*7+7y =180

7y =180–63 = 117

y =117/7=19.2 this will not do as it contains decimal not whole number

Say x=6

Then 9*6 +7y =180

7y=180–54 =126

y =126/7 =18 this is acceptable as it is whole number

Answer: 6 packets of (a) and 18 packets of type (b) were sold to get 180Php

4) 5,6,7 female piglets

5)1kg. of rice is Php. 90.00 . Mang Tommy pays Php.360.00 for 4kg. of rice.

4kg of rice - Php. 360.00

3kg of pork- Php. 390.00

1kg of rice is Php. 90.00

1kg of pork is Php. 130.00
