Answer:

Answer is 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Edward can distrubute pearls to 2 identical bags as fallows:

  • 2W for one bag and 2B for another bag. In this scenerio the probability of picking a black pearl is 1/2.
  • 1W and 1B for one bag and 1W and 1B for another bag. In this situation the probability of picking a black pearl is 1/2 × 1/2 is equal to 1/4
  • At the end, the sum of two scenerio is 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4

HOW MANY 7 DIGIT TELEPHONE NUMBERS ARE POSSIBLE IF THE FIRST DIGIT CANNOT BE ZERO AND:
hichkok12 [17]

Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, the number of possible telephone numbers is given by:

a) 900,000.

b) 78,125.

c) 10,000.

<h3>What is the Fundamental Counting Theorem?</h3>

It is a theorem that states that if there are n things, each with n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:

N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n

For item a, a multiple of 100 means that the last two digits are 00, hence the parameters are:

n_1 = 9, n_2 = n_3 = n_4 = n_5 = 10, n_6 = n_7 = 1

Hence the number is:

N = 9 x 10^5 = 900,000.

For item b, odd digits are 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, hence the parameters are:

n_1 = n_2 = n_3 = n_4 = n_5 = n_6 = n_7 = 5

Hence the number is:

N = 5^7 = 78,125.

For item c, if the first 3 digits are 277, the parameters are:

n_1 = n_2 = n_3 = 1, n_4 = n_5 = n_6 = n_7 = 10

Hence the number is:

N = 10^4 = 10,000.
