Answer:
14.29% probability that Marlon's friend will think of the number 9
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
In this problem, we have that:
There are 7 numbers from 5 to 11(5,6,7,8,9,10,11)
9 is one of them
So

14.29% probability that Marlon's friend will think of the number 9

Step-by-step explanation:
The path of the car and the limo are straight lines.
To determine the equation of the lines of the paths, the slopes must be determined.
Let m1 = slope of car
m2 = slope of limo
so,
m1 = (7 + 7)/(5 + 2) = 2
m2 = (-5 -9)/(3+4) = -2
therefore the equations are
car:
2x – y = 2(5) –(7)
2x – y = 3
Limo:
2x + y = 2(3) – 5
2x + y = 1
Solving the intersection of the equations (using a calculator)
x = 1
y = -1
To find the probability of both of these occurring, you will multiply the probability of choosing a blue marble by the probability of choosing a purple marble (with no replacement after the first one).
Probability of choosing a blue marble: 17/120
Probability of choosing a purple marble: 18/119
17/120 x 18/119 = 3/140
You will have a 3/140 chance of both of these occurring.
