Answer:

0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

A permutation is an arrangement of outcomes whereas a combination is a grouping of outcomes.

Order matters in case of permutations but does not matter in combinations.

Given:

Number of red marbles = 3

Number of white marbles = 2

Number of green marbles = 1

To find: probability of picking 4 marbles and getting one of each color

Solution:

Total number of outcomes = 6_C__4 = \frac{6!}{4!\,2!}=\frac{6\times 5\times 4!}{4!\times 2}=15

Number of favourable outcomes = 2 red, 1 white and 1 green marble + 1 red, 2 white and 1 green marble = 3_C_2\,2_C_1\,1_C_1+3_C_1\,2_C_2\,1_C_1 = \frac{3!}{2!\,1!}\times \frac{2!}{1!\,1!}\times 1+\frac{3!}{2!\,1!}\times 1\times 1=6+3=9

So, probability of picking 4 marbles and getting one of each color = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes =\frac{9}{15}=\frac{3}{5}=0.6

ohaa [14]
Given:
speed = distance / time

walking: 3 miles per hour
running 5 miles per hour
for a total of 3 hours.

3t = 5(3-t)
3t = 15 - 5t
3t + 5t = 15
8t = 15
t = 15/8
t = 1 7/8 

7/8 * 60 mins = 52.50 minutes

t = 1 hour and 52.5 minutes

It took Stu 1 hour and 52.5 minutes to hike the trail one way.

What is the height of an object thrown when time is 6 seconds? Also explain how u got your answer
nevsk [136]

Answer:

946.4\ m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

h(t) ---> the height of an object in meters

t ----> the time in seconds

we have

h(t)=-2.6t^2+40t+800

For t=6 sec

substitute in the quadratic equation  the value of t and solve for h

h(6)=-2.6(6)^2+40(6)+800

h(6)=946.4\ m
