Given:
child = 2 forks
adult = 5 forks
total number of forks = 2992
total number of people = 764

c + a = 764
2c + 5a = 2992

find the value of c using the 1st equation.

c = 764 - a

substitute c in the 2nd equation by its value

2c + 5a = 2992
2(764-a) + 5a = 2992

1528 - 2a + 5a = 2992
1528 + 3a = 2992
3a = 2992 - 1528
3a = 1464
3a/3 = 1464/3
a = 488

c = 764 - a
c = 764 - 488
c = 276

child = 276 ; adult = 488

2c + 5a = 2992
2(276) + 5(488) = 2992
552 + 2440 = 2992
2992 = 2992

matrenka [14]

Answer:

4/5 is the probability of white ball from urn 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct statement of the question is ;

Urn 1 contains two white balls and one black ball, while urn 2 contains one white bait and five black balls. One ball is drawn at random from urn 1 and placed in urn 2. A ball is then drawn from urn 2. It happens to be white. What is the probability that the transferred ball was white?

We solve it ;

Probability of taking out balls from urn 1

<u>a) for white ball</u>

P(w_{1} )=\frac{2}{3}

 

<u>b) for balck ball</u>

P(b_{1} )= \frac{1}{3}

If one ball is taken from urn 1 and put in urn 2 (which readily contains one white and five black balls)

Probability of taking out balls from urn 2

<u>a) for white ball</u>

P(w_{2} )=P(\frac{w_{2} }{w_{1} } ).P(w_{1} )+P(\frac{w_{2} }{b_{1} } ).P(b_{1} )

=\frac{2}{7} . \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{7}. \frac{1}{3} =\frac{5}{21}

Then the probability that white ball was transferred from urn 1 to urn 2 is;

P(\frac{white ball transfer }{w_{2} } )= \frac{P(\frac{w_{2} }{w_{1} } ).P(w_{2} )}{P(w_{2}) }

=\frac{ \frac{2}{7}.\frac{2}{3}  }{\frac{5}{21} }

=\frac{4}{5}

So, the probability that white ball is drawn from urn 2 is 4/5
