Answer: Option A)

P=\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when you toss the coin, the probability of getting heads up is

p_m = 0.5

In the bag there are 10 marbles

Blue: 3 Green: 4 Red: 3

So the probability of getting a blue marble is:

P_b = \frac{3}{10}

Note that the events are independent.

Finally, the probability of obtaining a head up and a blue marble will be:

P = p_m * p_b     → Because the events are independent:

P = 0.5*\frac{3}{10}

P=\frac{3}{20}

Answer:

P(Coin landing heads and blue marble is randomly selected) = 3/20.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, two events simultaneously take place. First, all the probabilities have to be identified. It is mentioned that the coin is a fair coin, therefore the probabilities of all the outcomes associated with the coin tossing will be equal. Therefore:

P(Coin landing heads) = 1/2.

P(Coin landing tails) = 1/2.

There are a total of 3 blue + 4 green + 3 red = 10 marbles in the bag. Therefore:

P(Selected marble is blue) = 3/10.

P(Selected marble is green) = 4/10.

P(Selected marble is red) = 3/10.

Assuming that both the events are independent, the probabilities of both the events can safely be multiplied. Therefore:

P(Coin landing heads and blue marble is randomly selected) = 1/2 * 3*10 = 3/20.

Therefore, the answer is 3/20!!!

The sum of a number 1/6 of that number 2 1/2 of that number and seven is 12 1/2 find the number
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the number

x + 1/6x + 2 1/2x + 7 = 12 1/2

3 + (1/6 + 1/2)x = 12 1/2 - 7

3 + (1/6 + 3/6)x = 5 1/2

3 2/3x = 5 1/2

x = (11/2) / (11/3)

x = 11 / 2 * 3 / 11

x = 3/2

x = 1 1/2
