Let A be the person who takes 1 min,

B who takes 2 mins, C who takes 7 mins and D who takes 10 mins

A and B cross the river in 2 mins, A comes back in 1 min

C and D cross the river in 10 mins, B comes back in 2 mins

A and B cross the river in 2 mins

Total time:

Answer:

17 minutes    i had this same answer and question 2day, so ur lucky.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial solution most people will think of is to use the fastest person as an usher to guide everyone across. How long would that take? 10 + 1 + 7 + 1 + 2 = 21 mins. Is that it? No. That would make this question too simple even as a warm up question.

To reduce the amount of time, we should find a way for 10 and 7 to go together. If they cross together, then we need one of them to come back to get the others. That would not be ideal. How do we get around that? Maybe we can have 1 waiting on the other side to bring the torch back. Ahaa, we are getting closer. The fastest way to get 1 across and be back is to use 2 to usher 1 across. So let's put all this together.

1 and 2 go cross

2 comes back

7 and 10 go across

1 comes back

1 and 2 go across (done)

Total time = 2 + 2 + 10 + 1 + 2 = 17 mins

Determine weather randomly picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards is impossible, unlikely, as likely as not, l
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is certain with probability equal to 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a mathematical framework which helps us to analyze chance of the outcome in a particular experiment. The value of probability is given by the ratio of the possible outcomes favorable to a certain experiment to the total outcomes.

We say an event is certain when the probability is 1 and the probability is zero when the event is uncertain.

Here the experiment is picking a blue card from a bag containing all blue cards.

Possible outcomes are all the cards colored blue in the bag.

Total outcomes are also all the blue cards in the bag.

∴ The value of probability is 1 as the event is certain because if we pick a card from the bag containing only blue cards, it would certainly give us a blue card.
