P(E) = 0.1; P(F) = 0.6. Find P(E | F).arrow_forward
- i will rate. answer correctly.arrow_forwardWe throw a coin until a head turns up for the second time, where p is the probability that a throw results in a head and we assume that the outcome of each throw is independent of the previous outcomes. Let X be the number of times we have thrown the coin. a. Determine P(X = 2), P(X = 3), and P(X = 4). b. Show that P(X = n)=(n−1)p2(1−p)n−2 for n ≥2.arrow_forwardE is an event and P(not E) = 0.4. Find P(E).arrow_forward
- Please answer this question asap I will rate you for sure. The fair dice are rolled at once. Let x denotes the positive difference in the number that appears on the top faces of the two dice. Find the P(x)=(3).arrow_forwardExercise 10.2.5. An ion channel can be in either open (0) or closed (C) states. If it is open, then it has probability 0.1 of closing in 1 microsecond; if closed, it has probability 0.3 of opening in 1 microsecond. Calculate the probability of the ion channel going through the following sequence of states: COO.arrow_forwardThe probability of the closing of the ith relay in the circuits shown is given by pi. Let P₁= 0.6, P2=0.1, pa=0.5, pa=0.7, Ps= 0.3. If all relays function independently, what is the probability P that a current flows between A and B for the respective circuits?
