10. At a carnival you win a prize if you get a heads, you must first choose a coin. There is a fair and a biased coin, while choosing each coin is equally likely, the biased coin has a 78% of landing tails. What is the probability of choosing the biased coin if you won a prize. a. 0.2146 b. 0.4084 c. 0.3421 d. 0.3056 e. 0.2670

d. 0.3056

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

We have these following probabilities:

With the fair coin, a 50% probability of winning a prize.

With the biased coin, a 100-78 = 22% probability of winning a prize.

50% probability of choosing each coin.

What is the probability of choosing the biased coin if you won a prize.

Event A: Winning the prize:

Event B: Choosing the biased coin.

Probability of choosing the biased coin and winning the prize.

Probability of winning the prize:

Conditional probability:

So the correct answer is:

d. 0.3056

omg what happend to your question? if you could edit this question i can

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
