Answer:

x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of obtaining a green ball is

P(green) = \frac{12}{12+x+2} = \frac{12}{x+14} and

P(green) = \frac{2}{5}, hence equating gives

\frac{12}{x+14} = \frac{2}{5} ( cross- multiply )

2(x + 14) = 60 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x + 14 = 30 ( subtract 14 from both sides )

x = 16

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

0.0549

0.7617

0.2383

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Probability that incoming email is spam ;

P(spam) = 0.38

If three emails are in my inbox, what is the probability that:

A. All three messages are spam.

P(1st message being spam) * p(second message being spam) * p(3rd message being spam)

= (0.38) * (0.38) * (0.38)

= 0.054872

= 0.0549

B. At least one of the three messages are spam.

1 - p(none of the 3 messages are spam)

P(none of the 3 messages are spam)

P(not spam) = 1 - p(spam) = 1 - 0.38 = 0.62

1 - [P(not spam) * p(not spam) * p(not spam)]

1 - (0.62 * 0.62 * 0.62)

= 1 - 0.238328

= 0.761672

= 0.7617

C. None of the three messages are spam.

P(not spam) = 1 - p(spam) = 1 - 0.38 = 0.62

P(not spam) * p(not spam) * p(not spam)

(0.62 * 0.62 * 0.62)

= 0.238328

= 0.2383
