Answer:
a) 12/323
b) 8/233
Explanation:
a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323
b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233
(hopefully I did this right)
4 significant figures. Use a rule called the Atlantic-Pacific rule where if the period is absent (Atlantic), you would start counting the numbers from right to left. If the period is present (Pacific), then start counting the numbers from left to right. Since the period is present, start from 5 and there are 4 digits including 5.
