A box contains 14 large marbles and 10 small marbles. Each marble is either green or white 8 of the large marbles are green, and

4 of the small
marbles are white. If a marble is randomly selected from the box, what is the probability that it is large or white? Express your answer as a fraction

or a decimal number rounded to four decimal places.


Pls step by step :)) thank you!

The probability that the marble is large or white is 0.5714.

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is the branch of mathematics that studies the possible outcomes of given events together with the outcomes' relative likelihoods and distributions.

Probability of an event is

P(A) = Number of favorable outcomes/ Total Number of outcomes      

       = n(A)/n(S)

where

P(A) is the probability of an event “A”

n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes

n(S) is the total number of events in the sample space.

We have,

Number of large marbles = 14

Number of small marbles = 10

Number of large green marbles = 8 which implies

Number of large white marbles = 14 - 8 = 6

Number of small white marbles = 4 which implies

Number of small green marbles = 10 - 4 = 6.

Now, let

Let X be the event of drawing large marble.

Let Y be the event of drawing small marble.

Let M be the event of drawing white marbles.

Let N be the event of drawing green marbles.

Since only one marble is drawn at a time ,

so P(X) =  14/24

    P(Y) = 10/24

    P(M) = 10/24

    P(N) = 14/24

We have to find the probability that a marble is large or white i.e. P(X∪M).

P(X∪M) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∩M)

P(X∩M) = In 14 large marbles 6 are white marbles = 6/14.

P(X∪M) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∩M) = 14/24 + 10/24 - 6/14 = 0.5833+0.4167-0.4286 = 0.5714.

Therefore, the probability of drawing large or white marble is 0.5714.

Which statements are always true regarding the diagram? Check all that apply. m∠3 + m∠4 = 180° m∠2 + m∠4 + m∠6 = 180° m∠2 + m∠4
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The true statements are:

m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180° ⇒ 1st

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180° ⇒ 2nd

m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5 ⇒ 3rd

Step-by-step explanation:

* Look to the attached diagram to answer the question

# m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180°

∵ ∠ 3 and ∠ 4 formed a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠ 3 + m∠ 4 = 180° ⇒ <em>true</em>

# m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180°

∵ ∠ 2 , ∠ 4 , ∠ 6 are the interior angles of the triangle

∵ The sum of the measures of interior angles of any Δ is 180°

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 + m∠ 6 = 180° ⇒ <em>true</em>

# m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5

∵ In any Δ, the measure of the exterior angle at one vertex of the

  triangle equals the sum of the measures of the opposite interior

  angles of this vertex

∵ ∠ 5 is the exterior angle of the vertex of ∠ 6

∵ ∠2 and ∠ 4 are the opposite interior angles to ∠ 6

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 4 = m∠ 5 ⇒ <em>true </em>

# m∠1 + m∠2 = 90°

∵ ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 formed a straight angle

∵ The measure of the straight angle is 180°

∴ m∠1 + m∠2 = 90° ⇒ <em>Not true</em>

# m∠4 + m∠6 = m∠2

∵ ∠ 4 , ∠ 6 , ∠ 2 are the interior angles of a triangle

∵ There is no given about their measures

∴ We can not says that the sum of the measures of ∠ 4 and ∠ 6 is

  equal to the measure of ∠ 2

∴ m∠4 + m∠6 = m∠2 ⇒ <em>Not true</em>

<em></em>

# m∠2 + m∠6 = m∠5

∵ ∠ 5 is the exterior angle at the vertex of ∠ 6

∴ m∠ 2 + m∠ 6 = m∠ 5 ⇒ <em>Not true</em>
