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.

Can someone please teach me how to add, subtract, multiply and divide negative numbers?
dedylja [7]
If both numbers are negative u add those up and ur answer will be a negative. so number one is negative 9.
if there is more positive ur answer will be a positive. so number 2 is 13.
number is more complicated so negative 3 +4 is 1 because u have more positive and u just subtract those then 1 minus 8 equals negative 7 and negative 7 minus 7 is 0. hope this helps

a rectangle has a length of 11 feet and the perimeter of 38 feet. what the width in feet of the rectangle
Sati [7]
If p= 38
You need four sides to equal that
11 is length so that means two sides are 11
11+11= 22
So that means you need two more equal numbers that will finish making up the 22
38-22= 16
But two sides make up 16
16 divides by 2 is 8
So THE WIDTH IS 8

The tax is found by multiply the cost times the tax rate

tax = 334.60 * .05

tax =16.73

Add the tax to the cost of the item to get the total cost

total cost = 16.73 + 334.60

total cost = 351.33
