The answer relies on whether the balls are different or not. If they are not, which is almost certainly what is intended.

If they are, the perceptive is a bit different. Your expression gives the likelihood that a particular set of j balls goes into the last urn and the other n−j balls into the other urns. But there are (nj) different possible sets of j balls, and each of them the same probability of being the last insides of the last urn, so the total probability of completing up with exactly j balls in the last urn is if the balls are different.

The triangles below are similar. Triangle A B C. Side A C is 10 and side A B is 5. Angle C is 30 degrees. Triangle D E F. Side E

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$AC = 10$

$AB = 5$

$\angle C = 30^\circ$

$ED = 7.5$

$DF = 25$

$\angle F =30$

$\angle E =90$

Required

Which of the options is/are true:

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$ $\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FDE$ $\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EFD$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$ $\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$ $\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DFE$

The given triangles, implies that:

$A {\displaystyle \sim } \ D$

$B {\displaystyle \sim } \ E$

$C {\displaystyle \sim } \ F$

By taking each sides of both triangle, one after the other; the possible similar triangles are:

$\triangle ABC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle DE\ F$

$\triangle CBA {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle FED$

$\triangle BAC {\displaystyle \sim } \triangle EDF$

A consumer organization estimates that over a 1-year period 20% of cars will need to be repaired once, 5% will need repairs

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

a) 0.5476

b) 0.0676

c) 0.4524

Step-by-step explanation:

Given this information, we can conclude that 74% of the cars won't need any repairs over a 1-year period (100 - 20 - 5 - 1 = 74%). And 26% will need at least 1 repair over a 1-year period.

P(car doesn't need repair) = 0.74

P (car needs repair) = 0.26

If you own two cars, the probability that:

a) Neither will need repair:

We need that car 1 won't need repair AND car 2 won't need repair.

=P(Car 1 doesn't need repair) x P(Car 2 doesn't need repair)

= 0.74 x 0.74 = 0.5476

The probability that neither will need repair is 0.5476.

b) Both will need repair:

We need that car 1 needs repair AND car 2 needs repair.

P(Car 1 needs repair) x P(Car 2 needs repair)

= 0.26 x 0.26 = 0.0676

The probability that both will need repair is 0.0676

c) At least one car will need repair

Car 1 needs repair or Car 2 needs repair or both need repair.

To solve this one, it's easier to use the complement of P(neither needs repair)

1 - P(neither needs repair)

1 - (0.74)(0.74) = 1 - 0.5476 = 0.4524

The probability that at least one car will need repair is 0.4524
