A bag contains eight green marbles and four blue marbles. what is the probability of drawing a green marble on the second draw?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>2/3 probability of drawing a green marble on the second draw. If the marbles are replaced after each draw, the probability will always be 2/3 of a green marble being drawn. But for this problem, going to assume that the marbles are not replaced after each draw. So we have 2 possible scenarios. 1. The first marble drawn is green This even happens with probability of 2/3 and leaves you with 7 green marbles and 4 blue marbles. So the probability of picking a green marble again is 7/11. 2. The first marble drawn is blue This event happens with probability of 1/3 and leaves you with 8 green marbles and 3 blue marbles. So the probability of picking a green marble this time is 8/11 The total probability of picking a green marble on the 2nd pick is the sum of the product of each probability. So 2/3 * 7/11 + 1/3 * 8/11 = 14/33 + 8/33 = 22/33 = 2/3</span>

In the square ABCD, AE = 3x + 5 and BD = 10x + 2. What is the length of line AC?

zubka84 [21]

BD = 2 AE
10 x + 2 = 2 * ( 3 x + 5 )
10 x + 2 = 6 x + 10
10 x - 6 x = 10 - 2
4 x = 8
x = 8 : 4
x = 2
And the line AC is equal to BD.
AC = 10 * 2 + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Answer:
3. 22

See below. No image this time.

Step-by-step explanation:

P(2, 8) → P'(-5, 1), which it went 7 units to the left, and 7 units down. Here is the equation: (x - 7, y - 7).

R(-4, -9) → R'(-4, -2), which went 7 units up. Here is the equation: (x, y + 7).

M(10, -3) → M'(3, 4), which went 7 units left, 7 units up. Here's the equation: (x - 7, y + 7).

K(7, 11) → K'(0, 11), which went 7 units left. Here is the equation: (x - 7, y).
