A bag contains 2 red marbles and 3 black marbles. If Abby picks a marble without looking, returns it to the bag, and then draws

a second marble, what is the probability that both marbles are red? Give the answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Answer: 4/25

=========================================

Explanation:

Let's define two events A and B
A = event of selecting red on the first draw
B = event of selecting red on the second draw

P(A) is the notation that means "probability of event A occurring"

P(A) = 2/5 because there are 2 red marbles out of 5 total (2 red + 3 black = 5)
Similarly, P(B) = 2/5 as well because A and B deal with the same color red, and because Abby put the first marble back

Multiply the probabilities
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... see note below
P(A and B) = (2/5)*(2/5)
P(A and B) = (2*2)/(5*5)
P(A and B) = 4/25 which is the answer

Note: the equation used is only valid if events A and B are independent, which they are in this case. The fact we put the marble back means the chances of picking red are the same as before.

A. Factor the numerator as a difference of squares:

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to9}\frac{x-9}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}\frac{(\sqrt x-3)(\sqrt x+3)}{\sqrt x-3}=\lim_{x\to9}(\sqrt x+3)=6

c. As x\to\infty, the contribution of the terms of degree less than 2 becomes negligible, which means we can write

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2-4x-8}{x^2-9}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{4x^2}{x^2}=\lim_{x\to\infty}4=4

e. Let's first rewrite the root terms with rational exponents:

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{\sqrt[3]x-x}{\sqrt x-x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}

Next we rationalize the numerator and denominator. We do so by recalling

(a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2
(a-b)(a^2+ab+b^2)=a^3-b^3

In particular,

(x^{1/3}-x)(x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2)=x-x^3
(x^{1/2}-x)(x^{1/2}+x)=x-x^2

so we have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x^{1/3}-x}{x^{1/2}-x}\cdot\frac{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{1/2}+x}=\lim_{x\to1}\frac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}\cdot\frac{x^{1/2}+x}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}

For x\neq0 and x\neq1, we can simplify the first term:

\dfrac{x-x^3}{x-x^2}=\dfrac{x(1-x^2)}{x(1-x)}=\dfrac{x(1-x)(1+x)}{x(1-x)}=1+x

So our limit becomes

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to1}\frac{(1+x)(x^{1/2}+x)}{x^{2/3}+x^{4/3}+x^2}=\frac{(1+1)(1+1)}{1+1+1}=\frac43

Write a function to give arbitrary probabilities (totalling 100%) to each face of a six-sided die.
Andre45 [30]
P(A) = N/0
where P(A) equals Probability of any event occurring
N is the Number of ways an event can occur and
0 is the total number of possible Outcomes

P(A) = 1/6

Plainly the probability of rolling a six with a single six-sided dice is one event in which it lands with six uppermost, divided by six possible outcomes from a single throw, or one sixth (16.66 per cent).
