A box contains 5 red balls, 6 white balls and 9 black balls. Two balls are drawn at
valina [46]

Answer:

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 5

White = 6

Black = 9

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

Total = 5 + 6 + 9

Total = 20

This is calculated as:

P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)

So, we have:

P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1}  + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}

P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380}  + \frac{72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Nicholas drew a triangle with 45, 35, and 100 degree angles. Is there another triangle with the same three angles but different
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

Yes, there are infinite triangles with the same three angles but different side lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two triangles are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

therefore

There are infinite triangles with the same three angles but different side lengths

Suppose that p is the probability that a randomly selected person is left handed. The value (1-p) is the probability that the pe
solmaris [256]

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for p such that 1000p(1-p) is maximized. Once we have that p, we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes 1000p(1-p) is the same as finding the value that maximizes p(1-p), just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize p(1-p). To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4.

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of p such that the inner part of the square term is equal to 0.

p-1/2=0\\p=1/2.

So, the answer to part a is \boxed{1/2}.

We can then plug 1/2 into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.

1000(1/2)(1-1/2)=1000(1/2)(1/2)=1000*1/4=250.

So, the answer to part b is \boxed{250}.

And we're done!

There are 15 identical pens in your drawer, nine of which have never been used. On Monday, yourandomly choose 3 pens to take wit
DaniilM [7]

Answer: p = 0.9337

Step-by-step explanation: from the question, we have that

total number of pen (n)= 15

number of pen that has never been used=9

number of pen that has been used = 15 - 9 =6

number of pen choosing on monday = 3

total number of pen choosing on tuesday=3

note that the total number of pen is constant (15) since he returned the pen back .

probability of picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 9/15 = 3/5

probability of not picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 1-3/5=2/5

probability of picking a pen that has been used on tuesday = 6/15 = 2/5

probability of not picking a pen that has not been used on tuesday= 1- 2/5= 3/5

on tuesday, 3 balls were chosen at random and we need to calculate the probability that none of them has never been used .

we know that

probability of ball that none of the 3 pen has never being used on tuesday = 1 - probability that 3 of the pens has been used on tuesday.

to calculate the probability that 3 of the pen has been used on tuesday, we use the binomial probability distribution

p(x=r) = nCr * p^{r} * q^{n-r}

n= total number of pens=15

r = number of pen chosen on tuesday = 3

p = probability of picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 9/15 = 3/5

q = probability of not picking a pen that has never been used on tuesday = 1-3/5=2/5

by slotting in the parameters, we have that

p(x=3) = 15C3 * (\frac{2}{5})^{3} * (\frac{3}{5})^{12}

p(x=3) = 455 * 0.4^{3} * 0.6^{12}

p(x=3) = 455 * 0.064 * 0.002176

p(x=3) = 0.0633

thus probability that 3 of the pens has been used on tuesday. = 0.0633

probability of ball that none of the 3 pen has never being used on tuesday  = 1 - 0.0633 = 0.9337
