The blue M&M was introduced in 1995. Before then, the color mix in a bag of plain M&Ms was (30% Brown, 20% Yellow, 20% R

ed, 10% Green, 10% Orange, 10% Tan). Afterward it was (24% Blue , 20% Green, 16% Orange, 14% Yellow, 13% Red, 13% Brown). A friend of mine has two bags of M&Ms, and he tells me that one is from 1994 and one from 1996. He won't tell me which is which, but he gives me one M&M from each bag. One is yellow and one is green. What is the probability that the yellow M&M came from the 1994 bag?

Answer:

The probability that the yellow M&M came from the 1994 bag is 0.07407 or 7.407%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Before 1995

(Br) Brown = 30%

(Y) Yellow = 20%  =0.2

(R) Red = 20%

(G) Green =10%  =0.1

(O) Orange = 10%

(T) Tan = 10%

 

After 1995

(Br) Brown = 13%

(Y) Yellow = 14%  =0.14

(R) Red = 13%

(G) Green = 20% = 0.2

(O) Orange = 16%

(Bl) Blue = 24%

Since there are two bags, let A be the bag from 1994, and B be the bag from 1996

Then let AY imply we drew a yellow M&M from the 1994 bag

AG implies we drew a green M&M from the 1994 bag

BY implies imply we drew a yellow M&M from the 1996 bag

BG implies we drew a green M&M from the 1996 bag

P(AY) =0.2

P (BY) = 0.14

P(AG) =0.1

P(BG) =0.2

Since the draws from the 1994 and 1996 bag are independent,

therefore

P(AY n BG) = 0.2 * 0.2 = 0.04  -------(1)\\P(AG n BY) =0.1 * 0.14 =0.014   --------(2)\\

The draws can happen in either of the 2 ways in (1) and (2) above

therefore total probability E is given as

E =P( AY n BG) u P(AG n BY)\\=0.04 + 0.014 =0.O54

For the yellow one to be from 1994, it implies that the event to be chosen is

P(AYnBG) = 0.2*0.2

Since the total probability is given as E=0.054

then P((AYnBG) /E) =\frac{0.04}{0.054} = 0.07407

Concluding statement: This is the condition for the Yellow one to come from 1994 and green from 1996 provided that they obey the condition from E

the width of a rectangle is 12 cm less than the length the perimeter is 156 cm. Find the with and length
mamaluj [8]

We know that the perimeter of a rectangle is twice the length, plus twice the width.  

P = 2L + 2W  

We also know that the perimeter is 156.  

P = 156  

Finally, we know that the width is 12 less than the length.  

W = L - 12.  

The next thing that we do is substitute the information that we have into the original equation:  

P = 2L + 2W  

156 = 2L + 2(L - 12)  

From this point we start to solve  

156 = 2L + 2L - 24 <---we multiplied the '2' through the parenthesis  

156 + 24 = 2L + 2L - 24 + 24  

180 = 2L + 2L <--- getting like terms on same sides  

180 = 4L <---combining like terms  

180/4 = 4L/4 <--- getting like terms on same sides  

45 = L <---now we have a value for L  

Now we take the known value for L and substitute it in to our equation for W  

W = L - 12  

W = 45 - 12  

W = 33  

So now we have Length = 45 and Width = 33.

What makes two angles exterior versus interior ?<br>​
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Any angle that is on the inside of a shape is called an interior angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Any angle that is on the outside of a shape is called an exterior angle. An exterior angle is made by extending one of the lines of the shape beyond the intersection point. ... Notice that the two angles make a straight line.
