Check the tree diagram of the problem:

The first ball can be either Red or Blue, the second ball can either be Red or Blue.

The branches represent all possible scenarios. 

For example, consider the upper branch, the case when both balls are blue:

The first ball is Blue, probability 5/10, the second ball is Blue, probability 4/9 because now there are 4 left blue balls, and 9 balls in total, after we picked the first blue.

The other branches have the same logic.

The question is not completed so we have 2 cases:

"Find the probability that at least 1 ball was​ red, given that the first ball was red"

here we add the separate probabilities of (R, R) and (R, B)

P(R,R)+P(R,B)=2/9 + 5/18 =  4/18  +5/18= 9/18=0.5

 
"Find the probability that at least 1 ball was​ red, given that the first ball was blue"

probability is P(B, R)=5/18=0.28

Answer:

{y,x} = {-6,-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

/ Solve equation [2] for the variable  y  

 [2]    y = 2x - 2

// Plug this in for variable  y  in equation [1]

  [1]    (2x-2) - x = -4

  [1]    x = -2

// Solve equation [1] for the variable  x  

  [1]    x = - 2

// By now we know this much :

   y = 2x-2

   x = -2

// Use the  x  value to solve for  y  

   y = 2(-2)-2 = -6

For a smoothing constant of 0.2

Time period – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Actual value – 46 55 39 42 63 54 55 61 52

Forecast – 58 55.6 55.48 52.18 50.15 52.72 52.97 53.38 54.90

Forecast error - -12 -.6 -16.48 – 10.12 12.85 1.28 2.03 7.62 -2.9
The mean square error is 84.12

The mean forecast for period 11 is 54.38
For a smoothing constant of 0.8

Time period – 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Actual value – 46 55 39 42 63 54 55 61 52

Forecast – 58 48.40 53.68 41.94 41.99 58.80 54.96 54.99 59.80

Forecast error - -12 6.60 -14.68 0.06 21.01 -4.80 0.04 6.01 -7.80The mean square error is 107.17

The mean forecast for period 11 is 53.56


Based on the MSE, smoothing constant of .2 offers a better model since the mean forecast is much better compared to the 53.56 of the smoothing constant of 0.8.

sattari [20]

Answer:

(8,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x=8

5*8-2y=30

40-2y=30 .      subtract 40 from both sides

-2y=-10 .           divide both sides by-2

y=5
