A bag contains 3 red marbles and 4 blue marbles. a marble is taken at random and replaced. Another marble is taken from the bag. Work out the probability that the two marbles taken from the bag are the same color.
<span>Total number of marbles in the bag is 3 + 4 = 7.<span>The problem asks for the probability of (RR) or (BB).</span>It's worthy to note we are replacing the balls after each draw, which means we always have 7 to draw from</span>Since each draw is independent, we take the product of each event for the total event probability.
P(RR) = 3/7 * 3/7 = 9/49
P(BB) = 4/7 * 4/7 = 16/49
We want to know P(RR) + P(BB)
<span>P(RR) + P(BB) = 9/49 + 16/49 = 25/49</span>
Whenever you face the problem that deals with maxima or minima you should keep in mind that minima/maxima of a function is always a point where it's derivative is equal to zero.
To solve your problem we first need to find an equation of net benefits. Net benefits are expressed as a difference between total benefits and total cost. We can denote this function with B(y).
B(y)=b-c
B(y)=100y-18y²
Now that we have a net benefits function we need find it's derivate with respect to y.

Now we must find at which point this function is equal to zero.
0=100-36y
36y=100
y=2.8
Now that we know at which point our function reaches maxima we just plug that number back into our equation for net benefits and we get our answer.
B(2.8)=100(2.8)-18(2.8)²=138.88≈139.
One thing that always helps is to have your function graphed. It will give you a good insight into how your function behaves and allow you to identify minima/maxima points.
Well, first you must divide the amount of gallons by the amount of people.
2/9 = 2/9 gallons which would be about 3.5 cups.
(Personally I would do 2/9 cups)
