<h2>Answer:</h2>

The probability is:

                   \dfrac{1}{400}

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

It is given that:

An urn contains balls numbered 1 through 20.

A ball is chosen, returned to the urn, and a second ball is chosen.

This means that this is a case of a replacement.

Hence, one of the event is independent of the other.

Now we know that the probability to get a particular number of ball is:

                  \dfrac{1}{20}

( Since, there are total 20 balls and a ball of one particular number is just unique )

i.e. \text{Probability of getting a 8}=\dfrac{1}{20}

Hence, the probability that the first and second balls will be a 8 is:

=\dfrac{1}{20}\times \dfrac{1}{20}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{400}

An urn contains balls numbered 1 through 20. A ball is chosen, returned to the urn, and a second ball is chosen. The probability that the first and second balls will be a 8 is  \frac{1}{400}

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

A random variable, random quantity, aleatory variable, or stochastic variable is described as a variable that the values depend on outcomes of a random phenomenon. The formal mathematical treatment of random variables is a topic in probability theory

There are two types of random variables such as discrete and continuous. Random variables can assume only a countable number of values are called discrete. Whereas the random variables that can take on any of the countless number of values in an interval are called continuous.

The chance of the first ball being a 8 is \frac{1}{20}. Similarly, the chance of the second being a 8 is \frac{1}{20}.

To find the chance if both happening, muliply the two.  

\frac{1}{20} *   \frac{1}{20}  = \frac{1}{400}

Because since you return it  \frac{1}{20}  again and those combined make  \frac{1}{400}  since 20 * 20= 400

A cylindrical tank holds 352 cu. ft. of water. The height of the tank is 7 ft. Find the
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

0.3334 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure the height and radius of the tank. The radius is the distance from the center of the tank to its outer edge. Another way to find the radius is to divide the diameter, or width, by two. Square the radius by multiplying the radius times itself and then multiply it by 3.1416, which is the constant pi.

  1. Given height and volume: r = √(V / (π * h)),
  2. Given height and lateral area: r = A_l / (2 * π * h),
  3. Given height and total area: r = (√(h² + 2 * A / π) - h) / 2,
  4. Given height and diagonal: r = √(h² + d²) / 2,
  5. Given height and surface-area-to-volume ratio: r = 2 * h / (h * SA:V - 2),
  6. Given volume and lateral area: r = 2 * V / A_l,
  7. Given base area: r = √(A_b / (2 * π)),
  8. Given lateral area and total area: r = √((A - A_l) / (2 * π)).

Find the inverse of square root f(n) = n – 3.
pogonyaev

Answer:

f'(n) = n + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(n) = n - 3

Required

The inverse

f(n) = n - 3

Replace f(n) with y

y = n - 3

Swap positions of y and n

n = y - 3

Make y the subject

y = n + 3

Replace y with f'(n)

f'(n) = n + 3
