Answer:

\frac{15}{28}  is the required probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Marbles = Blue + Red = 3 + 5 = 8

Probability of getting blue = \frac{3}{8}

Probability of not getting a blue =\frac{5}{8}

To get exactly one blue in two draws, we either get a blue, not blue, or a not blue, blue.

<u>First Draw Blue, Second Draw Not Blue:</u>

1st Draw: P(Blue) = \frac{3}{8}

2nd Draw: P(Not\:Blue)=\frac{5}{7}  (since we did not replace the first marble)

To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities.

P(Event)=\frac{3}{8}\cdot \frac{5}{7}=\frac{15}{56}

<u>First Draw Not Blue, Second Draw Not Blue:</u>

1st Draw: P(Not\:Blue)=\frac{5}{8}

2nd Draw: P(Not\:Blue)=\frac{3}{7}  (since we did not replace the first marble)

To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities.

P(Event)=\frac{5}{8}\cdot \frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{56}

To get the probability of exactly one blue, we add both of the events:

\frac{15}{56}+\frac{15}{56}=\frac{15}{28}

When six times a number is decreased by five, the result is 49. what is the number?
solong [7]
Put this into an equation. Make the missing value "x".
6x - 5 = 49
49 + 5 = 54
54 / 6 =  9 
x = 9.
The missing number is 9.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying :)

Use the vertical line test to determine whether the graph shown to the right is the graph of a function
Andreas93 [3]

That's not a function.

Since a vertical line hits the graph more than once, if fails the test. (See graph below)

If it is a function, any vertical line you draw can only hit the graph once.
