This is a hypergeometric distribution problem.
Population (N=50=W+B) is divided into two classes, W (W=20)  and B (B=30).
We calculate the probability of choosing w (w=2) white and b (b=5) black marbles.
Hypergeometric probability gives
P(W,B,w,b)=C(W,w)C(B,b)/(C(W+B,w+b)
where
C(n,r)=n!/(r!(n-r)!) the number of combinations of choosing r out of n objects.

Here
P(20,30,2,5)
=C(20,2)C(30,5)/(20+30, 2+5)
=190*142506/99884400
=0.2710

Alternatively, doing the combinatorics way:
#of ways to choose 2 from 20 =C(20,2)
#of ways to choose 5 from 30=C(30,5)
total #of ways = C(50,7)
P(20,30,2,5)=C(20,2)*C(30,5)/C(50,7)
=0.2710 
as before.

Rectangle 1 has length 10 and width 20. Rectangle 2 is made by multiplying each dimension of Rectangle 1 by a factor of k=3
Gwar [14]

Answer:

30cm, 60cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Dimensions of the first rectangle

Length =10cm

Width =20cm

We are told that the dimensions of the second rectangle is gotten by multiplying the first rectangle by 3

Hence the dimensions of the second rectangle is

Length =10*3= 30cm

Width = 20*3= 60cm
