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.

A line passes through (-1,5) and (1,3) what is the equation of the line
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

y = -x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1,5)...x1 = -1 and y1 = 5

(1,3)....x2 = 1 and y2 = 3

slope(m) = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (3 - 5) / (1 - (-1) = -2 / (1 + 1) = -2/2 = -1

y = mx + b

slope(m) = -1

u can use either of ur points...I will use (1,3)...x = 1 and y = 3

now we sub and find b, the y int

3 = -1(1) + b

3 = -1 + b

3 + 1 = b

4 = b

ur equation is : y = -x + 4 <===
