To determine the probability that exactly two of the five marbles are blue, we will use the rule of multiplication. 

Let event A = the event that the first marble drawn is blue; and let B = the event that the second marble drawn is blue. 
To start, it is given that there are 50 marbles, 20 of them are blue.  Therefore, P(A) = 20/50
After the first selection, there are 49 marbles left, 19 of them are blue. Therefore, P(A|B) = 19/49
Based on the rule of multiplication:P(A ∩ B) = P(A)*P(A|B)P(A ∩ B) =  (20/50) (19/49)P(A ∩ B) = 380/2450P(A ∩ B) = 38/245 or 15.51%

The probability that there will be two blue marbles among the five drawn marbles is 38/245 or 15.51%

We got the 15.51% by dividing 38 by 245. The quotient will be 0.1551. We then multiplied it by 100% resulting to 15.51%

Solve the equation.
lawyer [7]

Answer:

  • x=12
  • x=9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Eliminate parentheses:

  0.1x +18.8 = -4 +2x

  22.8 = 1.9x . . . . . . . . . add 4 - 0.1x

  12 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.9

__

2) Eliminate parentheses:

  -16 +4x = 0.8x +12.8

  3.2x = 28.8 . . . . . . . . add 16 - 0.8x

  x = 9 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 3.2

_____

<em>Comments on the solutions</em>

The expression we add in each case eliminates the constant on one side of the equation and the variable term on the other side. That leaves an equation of the form ...

  variable term = constant

We choose to eliminate the smaller variable term (the one with the coefficient farthest to the left on the number line). Then the constant we eliminate is the on on the other side of the equation. This choice ensures that the remaining variable term has a positive coefficient, tending to reduce errors.

__

You can work these problems by methods that eliminate fractions. Here, the fractions are decimal values, so are not that difficult to deal with. In any event, it is good to be able to work with numbers in any form: fractions, decimals, integers. It can save some steps.

Skyscraper Windows

Answer:

A.) $2,166

B.) $10,545

C.) (n/2)(3.5 + 0.5n) × 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Floor - - - - - - - - - - 1 - - - - - - - 2 - - - - - - - 3

Cost / window - - $2.00 - - - $2.50 - - - $3.00

Cost of washing first floor = $2 × 38

Cost of second floor is: (2 + 0.5) × 38

Cost of third floor is: (2 + 2 × 0.5) × 38

Cost of n floor : (2 + (n - 1) × 0.5) × 38

Therefore,

Total cost :

(2 + (2 + 0.5) + (2 + 2*0.5) + ... + (2 + (n - 1)*0.5)) × 38

Using Arithmetic progression for the sequence :

2, (2 + 0.5), (2 + 2*0.5),..., (2 + (n - 1)*0.5)

first term 'a' = 2; common difference 'd' = 0.5

Sum of the first n terms of arithmetic sequence terms is:

S = (n/2)(2a + (n - 1)d) ; Where a = 2 and d = 0.5

S = (n/2)(2*2 + (n - 1)*0.5)

S = (n/2)(4 + 0.5n - 0.5)

S = (n/2)(3.5 + 0.5n)

To wash all windows with n stories :

S × 38 windows

A.) To wash all windows : stories = 12

n = 12

(12/2)(3.5 + 0.5(12)) × 38

6(3.5 + 6) × 38 = $2,166

B.) if building is 30 stories tall:

n = 30

(30/2)(3.5 + 0.5(30)) × 38

15(3.5 + 15) × 38 = $10,545

C.) If building is n stories tall :

(n/2)(3.5 + 0.5n) × 38

According to government birth statistics, the probability of a woman
lyudmila [28]

To find the probability of not having twins, we can subtract the probability of having twins from 1. This is because probabilities always add up to 1.

1 - 0.015 = 0.985

The probability of not having twins is 0.985.

Hope this helps!! :)
