Seven balls are randomly withdrawn from an urn that contains 12 red, 16 blue, and 18 green balls. Find the probability that (a)
UNO [17]

Answer:

a) P=0.226

b) P=0.6

c) P=0.0008

d) P=0.74

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the seven balls are randomly withdrawn from an urn that contains 12 red, 16 blue, and 18 green balls. Therefore, we have 46 balls.

a) We calculate the probability that are 3 red, 2 blue, and 2 green balls.

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

C_7^{46}=\frac{46!}{7!(46-7)!}=53524680

We calculate the number of favorable combinations:

C_3^{12}\cdot C_2^{16}\cdot C_2^{18}=660\cdot 120\cdot 153=12117600

Therefore, the probability is

P=\frac{12117600}{53524680}\\\\P=0.226

b) We calculate the probability that are at least 2 red balls.

We calculate the probability  withdrawn of 1 or none of the red balls.

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

C_7^{46}=\frac{46!}{7!(46-7)!}=53524680

We calculate the number of favorable combinations: for 1 red balls

C_1^{12}\cdot C_7^{34}=12\cdot 1344904=16138848

Therefore, the probability is

P_1=\frac{16138848}{53524680}\\\\P_1=0.3

We calculate the number of favorable combinations: for none red balls

C_7^{34}=5379616

Therefore, the probability is

P_0=\frac{5379616}{53524680}\\\\P_0=0.1

Therefore, the  the probability that are at least 2 red balls is

P=1-P_1-P_0\\\\P=1-0.3-0.1\\\\P=0.6

c) We calculate the probability that are all withdrawn balls are the same color.

We calculate the number of possible combinations:

C_7^{46}=\frac{46!}{7!(46-7)!}=53524680

We calculate the number of favorable combinations:

C_7^{12}+C_7^{16}+C_7^{18}=792+11440+31824=44056

Therefore, the probability is

P=\frac{44056}{53524680}\\\\P=0.0008

d) We calculate the probability that are either exactly 3 red balls or exactly 3 blue balls are withdrawn.

Let X, event that exactly 3 red balls selected.

P(X)=\frac{C_3^{12}\cdot C_4^{34}}{53524680}=0.57\\

Let Y, event that exactly 3 blue balls selected.

P(Y)=\frac{C_3^{16}\cdot C_4^{30}}{53524680}=0.29\\

We have

P(X\cap Y)=\frac{18\cdot C_3^{12} C_3^{16}}{53524680}=0.12

Therefore, we get

P(X\cup Y)=P(X)+P(Y)-P(X\cap Y)\\\\P(X\cup Y)=0.57+0.29-0.12\\\\P(X\cup Y)=0.74

Profit is the amount of money that remains after all expenses of a project have been paid. The year has just​ ended, and Ajax​ C
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

the Profit earned by the company is $280,489

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Cost of 5 projects awarded = $7,435,000

Cost of Project​ 1 = $1,245,000

Cost of Project​ 2 = $985,689

Cost of  Project​ 3 = $1,723,000

Cost of Project​ 4 = $2,567,054

Cost of Project​ 5 = $633,768

We need to find the profit earned by the company.

First we need to find Total cost spent on all 5 projects.

It can be found by adding cost spent on all projects.

Total cost spent on all 5 projects = Cost of Project 1 + Cost of Project 2 + Cost of Project 3 + Cost of Project 4 + Cost of Project 5

Total cost spent on all 5 projects = $1,245,000+ $985,689 + $1,723,000+ $2,567,054 + $633,768

Total cost spent on all 5 projects = $7,154,511

Now we can calculate profit earned using formula:

Profit earned = Total Cost of 5 projects awarded - Total cost spent on all 5 projects

Profit earned = $7,435,000 - $7,154,511

Profit earned = $1,280,489

So, the Profit earned by the company is $280,489

1/3 ---> 5/15

6/15 + 5/15 = 11/15

OR

2/5 ---> 0.4

1/3 ---> 0.33

In a number with at least two digits, the last number was removed. The resulting number was n smaller than ghe previous one.
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

The largest possible value of n is 11.

(A) is correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The number with at least two digits,the last number was removed. The resulting number was n smaller than the previous one.

We need to find the largest possible value of n

Using given data,

The smallest number of two digit is 10.

Now, we removed last digit then we get 1 which is equal to 10 divided 10.

So, n = 10

But the largest number of two digit is 99.

We removed last digit then we get 9 which is equal to 99 divided 11.

So, n = 11

Hence, The largest possible value of n is 11.

(A) is correct option.
