Answer:
1.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of selecting a red counter :
Number of red counter / total number of counters
5 / (5 + 3) = 5 /8 = 0.625
Probability of selecting a blue counter = 0.375
Let number of red counters :
0, 1 or 2
0 red counters :
Expected value = x * p(x)
0 + (0.625*1) + (0.390625 * 2)
0 + 0.625 + 0.78125 = 1.40625
Expected number of red counters = 1.4
The solution is x>18.
The problem tells us that 3 less than a number: x-3
is more than 15. >15
So the inequality is x-3>15. When we isolate x to simply the inequality, we add 3 to both sides, to get x>18.
