Let A be the probability of drawing a white ball first, then a red one second, and then a white one last.

Let B be the probability of drawing a red ball first, then a white one second, and then a red one last.

So, P(A or B)  = 

[4/9 x 5/8 x 3/7 =  60/504 ] + [ 5/9 x 4/8 x 4/7 = 80/504 ]  =

[60 + 80 ] / 504  = 140/504 =  5/18 = about 27.8%

Can someone help me?
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: m=−3

Step-by-step explanation: −40−2(3m+1/2)=7m−2

−40+(−2)(3m)+(−2)(1/2)=7m+−2

−40+−6m+−1=7m+−2

(−6m)+(−40+−1)=7m−2

−6m+−41=7m−2

−6m−41−7m=7m−2−7m

−13m−41+41=−2+41

−13m/−13=39/−13

m=−3

What mistake I guess Keith did make is he subtracted 2 from -39 which equaled to -37 which caused him divide -37 by 13 when it should have been 39 divided by 13 because he should have left 39 alone and not have subtracted 2 from it also it should not have been negative basically what I'm trying to say is that he did his division and subtraction wrong.

Choose the function that represents the data in the table.
viva [34]

y = 2 {x}^{2}  - 3

\huge\underline\mathtt\colorbox{cyan}{Explanation thing:}

Using hit and trial, you van find it pretty easily-

  • Putting x=0, we get y=-3
  • Putting x=1, we get y=-1
  • Putting x=2, we get y=5

You can try it for yourself as well, for me, I couldn't find any other option appropriate.
