There are two misshapen coins in a box; their probabilities for landing on heads when they are flipped are, respectively, .4 and

.7. One of the coins is to be randomly chosen and flipped 10 times. Given that two of the first three flips landed on heads, what is the conditional expected number of heads in the 10 flips?

Answer:

E(X) = 6.0706

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Define notation

X = random variable who represents the number of heads in the 10 first tosses

Y = random variable who represents the number of heads in range within toss number 4 to toss number 10

And we can define the following events

a= The first coin has been selected

b= The second coin has been selected

c= represent that we have 2 Heads within the first two tosses

2) Formulas to apply

We need to find E(X|c) = ?

If we use the total law of probability we can find E(Y)

E(Y) = E(Y|a) P(a|c) + E(Y|b)P(b|c) ....(1)

Finding P(a|c) and using the Bayes rule we have:

P(a|c) = P(c|a) P(a) / P(c) ...(2)

Replacing P(c) using the total law of probability:

P(a|c) = [P(c|a) P(a)] /[P(c|a) P(a) + P(c|b) P(b)] ... (3)

We can find the probabilities required

P(a) = P(b) = 0.5

P(c|a) = (3C2) (0.4^2) (0.6) = 0.288

P(c|b) = (3C2)(0.7^2) (0.3) = 0.441

Replacing the values into P(a|c) we got

P(a|c) = (0.288 x 0.5) /(0.288x 0.5 + 0.441x0.5) = 0.144/ 0.3645 = 0.39506

Since P(a|c) + P(b|c) = 1. With this we can find P(b|c) = 1 - P(a|c) = 1-0.39506 = 0.60494

After this we can find the expected values

E(Y|a) = 7x 0.4 = 2.8

E(Y|b) = 7x 0.7 = 4.9

Finally replacing the values into equation (1) we got

E(Y|c) = 2.8x 0.39506 + 4.9x0.60494 = 4.0706

And finally :

E(X|c) = 2+ E(Y|c) = 2+ 4.0706 = 6.0706

astra-53 [7]

Question:

To a survey of 290 newspaper readers, 181 of them read the Daily Times, 142 Read the Guardian 117 read punch and each reads at least one of the three papers if 75 read the Daily Times, and the Guardian, 60 read the Daily Times and punch, and 54 read the Guardian and punch : Draw a Venn diagram to illustrate this information How many readers read All three papers ,Exactly two of the papers The Guardian alone?

Answer:

39 read all three news papers,72 Exactly two Papers & 52 reads  Guardian Alone

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given, A survey of 290 newspaper readers.

Who read the Daily times A=181  

Who read the Guardian times B=142  

Who read the punch C=117

Who read Daily Times and the Guardian A\cap B= 75

Who read Daily Times and the punch A\cap C=60

Who read Guardian and punch B\cap C=54

To find :

How many readers read All three papers, Exactly two of the papers The Guardian alone?

Solution :

Readers read all three papers is A\cap B\cap C

Total survey is given by,

Total = A+B + C- A\cap B- A\cap C - B\cap C+ A\cap B\cap C

290 = 181 + 142 + 117 - 75 -60 - 54 +A\cap B\cap C

290 =251+A\cap B\cap C

290-251=A\cap B\cap C

A\cap B\cap C=39

So, number of readers who read all three papers is 39.

Exactly two of the papers = 36 + 21 + 15 = 72

Guardian Alone = 52

slava [35]
In this question, we're assuming Ralph had 0 in his saving funds to start with.

The glasses cost 1200 dollars.

There are 12 months in a year.

Each month, Ralph is given his check two times, that means that Ralph receives his check 2(12), or 24, times per year.

Divide 1200 (the cost of the glasses) by 24 (the amount of times Ralph is given his check)

1200 / 24
Divide both numerator and denominator by 12
100 / 2
Simplify
50

Ralph should have put 50 dollars per pay check to pay for the glasses.

A is your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)

If 49x2 + 28x - 10 is rewritten as p2 + 4p -10, what is p in terms of<br> p=
madam [21]

Answer:

p=7x

Step-by-step explanation:

49x^[2] + 28x - 10 = p^[2] + 4p -10

This equation is in the form a^[2]x + bx + c.

<u><em>The 'c' is common for both equations, this means the 'a' and 'b' must also be common. </em></u>

There are two ways to find p: 'a' or 'b'

<u>a method</u>

49x^[2] = p^[2]

=> The square root of both sides = 7x = p

<u>b method</u>

28x = 4p

28x/4 = 4p/4

7x = p

All computers are on sale for 10% off the original price. If x is the original price of the computer, then the function that rep
prohojiy [21]
So the original price is "x".

the discounted price by 10% is P(x) = 0.9x.

the price minus a $150 coupon is C(x) = x - 150.

so, if you go to the store, the item is discounted by 10%, so you're really only getting out of your pocket 90% of that, or 0.9x, but!!! wait a minute!! you have a $150 coupon, and you can use that for the purchase, so you're really only getting out of  your pocket 0.9x - 150, namely the discounted by 10% and then the saving from the coupon.

C(   P(x)   ) = P(x) - 150

C(   P(x)   ) = 0.9x - 150
