I'm not sure if an equation is needed. Since you put the marble back into the bag the odds are still 50/50 that you will draw either color.

If you would have left it out then it would be dependent because the ratio would change.

Answer:

P(W) and P(B) are independent events.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A bag contains 5 white marbles and 5 blue marbles. You randomly select one marble from the bag and put it back. Then, you randomly select another marble from the bag.

To find : Which calculation proves that randomly selecting a white marble the first time and a blue marble the second time are two independent events?

Solution :

Independent events - When the probability that one event occurs in no way affects the probability of the other event occurring.

We have given, 5 white marbles and 5 blue marbles.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Favorable outcome}}{\text{Total number of outcome}}

Total number of outcomes = 5+5=10

The probability that a white marble the first time,

P(W)=\frac{5}{10}= \frac{1}{2}

Their is a replacement occurs,

The probability that a blue marble the second time,

P(B)=\frac{5}{10}= \frac{1}{2}

The probability of occurrence of a Blue marble is not affected by occurrence of the probability that we get white marble in first attempt.

Hence, P(W) and P(B) are independent events.

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

B) { 51, 149, 140 }

C) { 16, 63, 65 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to choose Pythagoras theorem formula

c^2=a^2+b^2

now, we can verify each options

option-A:

a=1

b=1

c=1

now, we can verify formula

1^2=1^2+1^2

1=2

We can see that left side is not equal to right side

so, this is FALSE

option-B

a=51

b=140

c=149

now, we can verify formula

149^2=51^2+140^2

22201=22201

We can see that left side is  equal to right side

so, this is TRUE

option-C

a=16

b=63

c=65

now, we can verify formula

65^2=16^2+63^2

4225=4225

We can see that left side is  equal to right side

so, this is TRUE

option-D:

a=6

b=8

c=11

now, we can verify formula

11^2=6^2+8^2

121=100

We can see that left side is not  equal to right side

so, this is FALSE

enot [183]

Answer:

2/3x - 3 = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2/3x - 3 = 5

Add 3 to each side

2/3x-3+3 = 5+3

2/3x = 8

Multiply each side by 3/2

3/2*2/3x = 8*3/2

x = 12

By using the arithmetic sequence, the difference between every other age is 12.98 (interval is 2). Example: 20 and 22 has 157.87 and 170.85 respectively which has the mentioned difference. Hence, if we calculate for the person who has a BMI of 35, then we add 12.98 to 235.75 plus the half which is 6.49. The total is <span>255.22. The answer is C.</span>
