There are two colored marbles and one white marble in a box. Julie mixes the marbles and then Sam draws two marbles at random wi

thout replacement. If the two marbles match, Sam wins; otherwise, Julie wins. Does each player have an equal chance of winning? Will adding another white marble give each player an equal chance of winning? What if a game with the same rules was played using three colored marbles and one white marble?

At first there are three marbles for Sam to pick from. the possibility of drawing a colored marble is 2/3. if Sam picks one of the colored marbles, the possibility of therefore (if he'd drawn the colored marble) drawing the second colored marble is 1/2. for the possibility of those happening consequently, we have to multiply the possibilities. 2/3 * 1/2 is 2/6 is 1/3. which means Sam wins in 33.333...% cases. Julie has a better chance of winning.

adding a white marble would change the possibilities to 1/2 and 1/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 1/2 * 1/3 = 1/6 = 16.7% cases, which is even less fair.

adding a colored marble would change the possibilities to 3/4 and 2/3 consequently, meaning Sam wins in 3/4 * 2/3 = 6/12 = 50% cases, which finally makes the game fair.

S is inversely proportional to t<br> When s = 0.5, t = 7<br> Work out s when t = 0.8
defon

Given:

s is inversely proportional to t.

When s = 0.5, t = 7.

To find:

The value of s when t=0.8.

Solution:

s is inversely proportional to t.

s\propto \dfrac{1}{t}

s=\dfrac{k}{t}       ...(i)

Where, k is the constant of proportionality.

Putting s=0.5 and t=7, we get

0.5=\dfrac{k}{7}

0.5\times 7=k

3.5=k

Putting k=3.5 in (i), we get

s=\dfrac{3.5}{t}

This is the equation of proportionality.

Putting t=0.8, we get

s=\dfrac{3.5}{0.8}

s=4.375&#10;

Therefore, the value of s is 4.375 when t=0.8.

What is the value of x?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:  x = 7

`Step-by-step explanation:

Because the figure shows two triangles that are similar. we can write and solve an equation of ratios:

 9 cm       72 cm

----------- = -----------

3x - 20      56 cm

Cross-multiplying, we get (3x - 20)(72 cm) = (9 cm)(56 cm) = 504 cm²

Dividing both sides by 72 cm, we get:

3x - 20 = (504 cm²) / (72 cm) = 7

Then 3x - 20 = 7, and 3x = 27.  Then x must be 9.

For first pound it is = $2.41
For next six, = 0.41 * 6 = $2.46

Remaining = 7.99 - (2.41 + 2.46) = 7.99 - 4.87 = 3.12

Now, additional pounds = 3.12 / 0.39 = 8
Total weight = 1 + 6 + 8 = 15

In short, Your Answer would be 15 pounds

Hope this helps!

The total cost after tax to repair Kimber's cracked phone screen is represented by 0.04(30h) + 30h, where h represents the numbe
PSYCHO15rus [73]

In this equation there are few key numbers, thankfully XD, so it does not take too long to figure out that the 0.04 is clearly a tax on the repairs as 30h is representing the hours spent repairing Kimber's phone.
