Answer:

P(red and blue) = 0.1667

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent choosing a red marble, there are 3 red marbles

Let B represent choosing a blue marble, there are 4 blue marbles

There are 12 total marbles

Then...

P(A) = 3/12

P(B) = 4/12

choosing the first one, then replacing means the first choice has no effect on the probabilities of the second choice, so the situation is independent.  

When calculating the probability of independent events, you multiply the probabilities together.  There are 2 scenarios where we can get a red and blue marble..

Choosing a red, then a blue marble, the probability is

(3/12)( 4/12) = 12/144 = 1/12

Choosing a blue, then a red marble, the probability is

(4/12)(3/12) = 12/144 = 1/12

So we have a

(1/12) + (1/12) = 2/12 = 1/6 chance for that to happen, to

P(A and B) = 1/6 = 0.1667

Given:

Perimeter of cube = 84 cm

Find:

Total surface area of cube

Computation:

Perimeter of cube = 12 x side

84 = 12 x side

Side = 7 cm

Total surface area of cube = 6(a)²

Total surface area of cube = 6(7)²

Total surface area of cube = 294 cm²

Each crate holds 25 reusable water bottles. Each crate costs $45. How much should the track team charge for each water bottle to
Reptile [31]

Answer:

$ 9 each bottle

Step-by-step explanation:

1 crate  = $45

1 crate  = 25 bottles

if we want to earn $180 per crate , we have to add this value to the $45

45 + 180 = 225

if the value of the box to win $180 is $225, we have to divide the new value by 25 (number of bottles) and we will have what we will have to charge each bottle

225/25 = 9

we have to charge $ 9 each bottle to earn $ 180 per crate
