<span>25/28 is the probability of picking two or three white balls.
Given that there are only 8 balls in total and of those 8, 5 of them are blue, this problem can be turned around to "What's the probability of selecting 5 blue balls?" And then subtracting that result from 1.
There are a total of 6 ways of selecting all 5 blue balls. The only difference is when the single white ball is selected. The 6 ways are BBBBBW, BBBBWB, ..., WBBBBB. So let's calculate the probability of each of those 6.
5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * 1/4 * 3/3 +
5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * 3/4 * 1/3 +
5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 +
5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 +
5/8 * 3/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 +
3/8 * 5/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 = ?
If you look closely at each of the 6 lines, you'll realize that the numerator will always be the product of 5!3 and the denominator will be 3*4*5*6*7*8. So, let's simplify to
6*5!3/(3*4*5*6*7*8)
= 6*5*4*3*2*3/(3*4*5*6*7*8)
= 2*3/(7*8)
= 3/(7*4)
= 3/28
Now we just need to calculate 1 - 3/28 = 28/28 - 3/28 = 25/28</span>
Answer:
# of granola bars and it's cost.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is asking for the meaning of 2B. Note that inside the question, it states that:
"<em>The price of a granola bar is B dollars</em>".
It also states that:
"<em>Donovan eats </em>2<em> granola bars</em>".
This means that to solve for the total spent on granola bars, you multiply the price (B) with the amount gotten (2 in this case).

Spinner diagram isn't attached. A related spinner diagram has been attached below to provide an hypothetical solution to the problem
Answer:
4 / 15
Step-by-step explanation:
For the numbered spinner :
P(landing on 2) = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Total possible outcomes = (1, 2, 3) = 3
Required outcome = (1) = 1
P(landing on 2) = 1 /3
Lettered spinner :
P(does not land on b)
Total possible outcomes = (A, B, C, D, E)
Required outcome = (a, c, d, e)
P(does not land on b) = 4 / 5
Hence,
P(lands on 2, does not land on b) in this scenario is :
1/3 * 4/5 = 4 / 15
