The probability that the drawn is a white ball is 8/14.

If it's three or more, the probability is 100%.

However, I will assume that you intend to draw only two balls and that you don't replace the first ball in the bag for the second draw.

So you draw one ball. The probability that it's red is 8/14 = 4/7.

You draw again. The probability of getting a second red is 7 (red balls remains) / 13 (balls remaining).

Assuming that the results of the first and second draws are independent,the probability of drawing two red balls is therefore (4/7)*(7/13) = 4/13.

Now, suppose instead of a red on the first draw you got white. The probability of this is 6/14 = 3/7.

Given the first ball is white, the probability of drawing a second white is 5/13.

So the probability of drawing two whites is (3/7)*(5/13) = 15/91.

The outcomes of drawing two reds or two whites are independent of each other, so you can add the probabilities to get the probability of drawing two balls of the same colour, i.e.

4/13 + 15/91 = 43/91

If you prefer to express it as a percentage, it's approximately 47.25%.

Given points A(-1, -2) and B(2, 4) where AP: BP=1:2, find the locus of point P.​
koban [17]

Answer:

x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y  =  0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (-1,-2)

B = (2,4)

AP:BP = 1 : 2

Required

The locus of P

AP:BP = 1 : 2

Express as fraction

\frac{AP}{BP} = \frac{1}{2}

Cross multiply

2AP = BP

Calculate AP and BP using the following distance formula:

d = \sqrt{(x - x_1)^2 + (y - y_1)^2}

So, we have:

2 * \sqrt{(x - -1)^2 + (y - -2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}

2 * \sqrt{(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2} = \sqrt{(x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2}

Take square of both sides

4 * [(x +1)^2 + (y +2)^2] = (x - 2)^2 + (y - 4)^2

Evaluate all squares

4 * [x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 +4y + 4] = x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 - 8y + 16

Collect and evaluate like terms

4 * [x^2 + 2x + y^2 +4y + 5] = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20

Open brackets

4x^2 + 8x + 4y^2 +16y + 20 = x^2 - 4x + y^2 - 8y + 20

Collect like terms

4x^2 - x^2 + 8x + 4x + 4y^2 -y^2 +16y + 8y  + 20 - 20 =  0

3x^2 + 12x + 3y^2 +24y  =  0

Divide through by 3

x^2 + 4x + y^2 +8y  =  0

Answer:

The conclusion is that the robber is fast.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first assertion is that if the robber is fast, the police can't catch him. The next information that you get is that they indeed <em>can't </em>catch him, showing that this is the answer.
