The length of line in green = 5 cm
the length of line in yellow = 3 cm
the length of line in red = 6 cm
the length of line in white = 16 cm
the total area = 100 + 12 + 12 + 20 + 24 + 96 = 264 cm2
Part A
Use the binomial probability distribution formula.
p = 0.54 = probability of getting a purple marble
n = 5 = sample size
x = 2 = number of purple we want to get
The 
portion is from the nCr combination formula. The exclamation marks indicate a factorial.
Alternatively, you could use Pascal's Triangle for that portion.
<h3>Answer: 0.283831776</h3>
This decimal value is exact. Round it however you need to.
============================================================
Part B
To find the expected value, aka the mean, we multiply the sample size and probability of getting a purple marble on any single selection.
n*p = 5*0.54 = 2.7
<h3>Answer: 2.7</h3>
Answer:
1. x = -1.5y
2. 5 (2x-3)
3. p = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplifying
7x + 2y + -3x + 4y = 0
Reorder the terms:
7x + -3x + 2y + 4y = 0
Combine like terms: 7x + -3x = 4x
4x + 2y + 4y = 0
Combine like terms: 2y + 4y = 6y
4x + 6y = 0
Solving
4x + 6y = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6y' to each side of the equation.
4x + 6y + -6y = 0 + -6y
Combine like terms: 6y + -6y = 0
4x + 0 = 0 + -6y
4x = 0 + -6y
Remove the zero:
4x = -6y
Divide each side by '4'.
x = -1.5y
Simplifying
x = -1.5y
2)
Common factor
10x - 15
5 (2x-3)
3) Simplifying
5p = 3p + 8
Reorder the terms:
5p = 8 + 3p
Solving
5p = 8 + 3p
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3p' to each side of the equation.
5p + -3p = 8 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 5p + -3p = 2p
2p = 8 + 3p + -3p
Combine like terms: 3p + -3p = 0
2p = 8 + 0
2p = 8
Divide each side by '2'.
p = 4
Simplifying
p = 4
Answer: A 2-column table with 5 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 5, negative 4, negative 3, negative 2, negative 1. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 5, 5, 5, 5, 5.
