Suppose that we have two identical boxes: box 1 and box 2. box 1 contains 5 red balls and 3 blue balls. box 2 contains 2 red bal

ls and 4 blue balls. a box is selected at random and exactly one ball is drawn from the box. (a) what is the probability that the ball is blue? (b) given that a selected ball is blue, what is the probability that it came from the rst box?

(a) The probability of drawing a blue marble at random from a given box is the number of blue marbles divided by the total number of marbles. We assume that the probability of selecting one of two boxes at random is 1/2 for each box.

... P(blue) = P(blue | box1)·P(box1) + P(blue | box2)·P(box2) = (3/8)·(1/2) + (4/6)·(1/2)

... P(blue) = 25/48 . . . . probability the ball is blue

(b) P(box1 | blue) = P(blue & box1)/P(blue) = (P(blue | box1)·P(box1)/P(blue)

... = ((3/8)·(1/2))/(25/48)

... P(box1 | blue) = 9/25 . . . . probability a blue ball is from box 1

Graph the image of the given triangle, reflected across the y-axis. Select the Polygon tool. Then, click the points of the trian
yawa3891 [41]

1) We are given a hexagon there.

Sum of all angles of a hexagon is 720.

Therefore, sum of all angles inside pentagon =720.

We can step an equation as

x+100+102+108+121 = 720.

Adding 100+102+108+121, we get 431.

Therefore,

x+431 = 720.

Subtracting 431 from both sides, we get

x+431-431 = 720-431

x=289.

Therefore, measure of unknown angle x= 289 degrees.


2) Coordinates of the vertices of the given triangle

(-2,-9)

(7,-4)

(9,-7).

We need to graph the reflected triangle across the y-axis.

For reflected triangle across the y-axis we can apply rule

(x,y) --> (-x,y)

By applying above rule, we get the coordinates of reflected triangle as

(-2,-9)  --> (2,-9)

(7,-4)   --> (-7,-4)

(9,-7)   --> (-9,-7).

Now, we can plot those coordinates on the graph and join the coordinates to form a triangle.

The record high temperature in Alabama is 112f and the record low temperature is -27f. What is the difference between the highes
Bumek [7]

Answer:

(A) 139°

Step-by-step explanation:

What we are trying to find here is the distance between -27 and 112.

To do this, we have to think of it as a number line.

The distance from -27 to 0 is 27 units, and the distance from 0 to 112 is 112 units.

So the total distance is 112+27=139

Hope this helped!

How is mental math to add with decimals different from adding whole numbers using mental math.
Anna71 [15]
When using mental math to solve problems with decimals, it is harder to keep track of what number goes where and where the decimal spot goes as well. Although, with whole numbers in mental math, it is a lot easier to solve since there is no decimal and less numbers (unless you are doing whole number math with a large amount of numbers).

Hello can someone help! i will make them brainliest!
Nady [450]

Answer:

B ( 92 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find y

In order to find z, we need to find y.

All triangles add up to 180 degrees, so y would be

180 - (48 + 44) = 88

y is 88 degrees

2. Find z

So now we know y is 88, we can find z

The circle of all angles of y and z = 360 ( because full angle)

so our equation is:

(88 + z)2 = 360

Divide by 2

88 + z = 180

z = 92
