An urn contains 5 red balls and 2 green balls. Two balls are drawn one after the other. What is the probability that the second

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The probability that the second ball is red is 71%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probabilities

We know there are 5 red balls and 2 green balls. Let's analyze what can happen when two balls are drawn in sequence (no reposition).

The first ball can be red (R) or green (G). The probability that it's red is computed by

$\displaystyle P(R)=\frac{5}{7}$

The probability is's green is computed by

$\displaystyle P(G)=\frac{2}{7}$

If we have drawn a red ball, there are only 4 of them out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a second red ball is

$\displaystyle P(RR)=\frac{5}{7}\cdot \frac{4}{6}=\frac{10}{21}$

If we have drawn a green ball, there are still 5 red balls out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a red ball now is

$\displaystyle P(GR)=\frac{2}{7}\cdot \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{21}$

The total probability of the second ball being red is

$\displaystyle P(XR)=\frac{10}{21}+\frac{5}{21}=\frac{5}{7}=0.71$

The probability that the second ball is red is 71%

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point

Sati [7]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-1\to x+4y=-4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=m_1x+b_1;\ l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\l\ ||\ k\iff m_1=m_2\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\==========================\\\\\text{We have}\ x+4y=-6.\\\text{Convert to the slope-intercept form:}\\\\x+4y=-6\qquad\text{subtract}\ x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\4y=-x-6\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=\dfrac{-x}{4}-\dfrac{6}{4}\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-\dfrac{3}{2}\to m_1=-\dfrac{1}{4}$

$\text{Lines are to be parallel. Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{4}.\\\\\text{We initially have the form equation}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through the point}\ (9,\ -3).\\\\\text{Substitute the coordinates of the point to the equation of a line:}\\\\x=9,\ y=-3\\\\-3=-\dfrac{1}{4}(9)+b\\\\-3=-\dfrac{9}{4}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{9}{4}\ \text{to both sides}\\\\-\dfrac{12}{4}+\dfrac{9}{4}=b\to b=-\dfrac{3}{4}$

$x=8,\ y=-3\\\\-3=-\dfrac{1}{4}(8)+b\\\\-3=-2+b\qquad\text{add 2 to both sides}\\\\-1=b\to b=-1$

$\text{Therefore the equation is:}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-1.\\\\\text{Convert to the standard form}\ Ax+By=C:\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{4}x-1\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4y=-x-4\qquad\text{add}\ x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\x+4y=-4$

Photo attached A. -2 B. -1 C. 1/-2 D. 1/2

kifflom [539]

Step-by-step explanation:

(X1,Y1) = (-2,2)

(X2,Y2) = (0,1)

• Find slope.

m = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1)

m = (1 - 2)/(0 - (-2))

m = -1/2

The answer is C.

What if i=radical -1, what is the value of i^3

aleksklad [387]

$\bf i^3\implies \sqrt{-1}\cdot \sqrt{-1}\cdot \sqrt{-1}\implies (\sqrt{-1})^2\sqrt{-1}\implies \sqrt{(-1)^2}\cdot \sqrt{-1} \\\\\\ -1\cdot i\implies \boxed{-i}$
