A box contains 11 red chips and 4 blue chips. We perform the following two-step experiment: (1) First, a chip is selected at ran

dom from the box and is then removed from the box. (After this first step, there are 14 chips left in the box. ) (2) Then, a chip is selected at random from the box (that is, from the remaining 14 chips) . Let B 1 be the event that the chip removed from the box at the first step of the experi- ment is red. Let B 2 be the event that the chip removed from the box at the first step of the experiment is blue. Let A be the event that the chip selected from the box at the second step of the experiment is red.Find P(B1), P(B2), P(A), P(B1|A), and P(B2|A).

Answer:

P(B1) = (11/15)

P(B2) = (4/15)

P(A) = (11/15)

P(B1|A) = (5/7)

P(B2|A) = (2/7)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 11 red chips and 4 blue chips in a box. Two chips are selected one after the other at random and without replacement from the box.

B1 is the event that the chip removed from the box at the first step of the experiment is red.

B2 is the event that the chip removed from the box at the first step of the experiment is blue. A is the event that the chip selected from the box at the second step of the experiment is red.

Note that the probability of an event is the number of elements in that event divided by the Total number of elements in the sample space.

P(E) = n(E) ÷ n(S)

P(B1) = probability that the first chip selected is a red chip = (11/15)

P(B2) = probability that the first chip selected is a blue chip = (4/15)

P(A) = probability that the second chip selected is a red chip

P(A) = P(B1 n A) + P(B2 n A) (Since events B1 and B2 are mutually exclusive)

P(B1 n A) = (11/15) × (10/14) = (11/21)

P(B2 n A) = (4/15) × (11/14) = (22/105)

P(A) = (11/21) + (22/105) = (77/105) = (11/15)

P(B1|A) = probability that the first chip selected is a red chip given that the second chip selected is a red chip

The conditional probability, P(X|Y) is given mathematically as

P(X|Y) = P(X n Y) ÷ P(Y)

So, P(B1|A) = P(B1 n A) ÷ P(A)

P(B1 n A) = (11/15) × (10/14) = (11/21)

P(A) = (11/15)

P(B1|A) = (11/21) ÷ (11/15) = (15/21) = (5/7)

P(B2|A) = probability that the first chip selected is a blue chip given that the second chip selected is a red chip

P(B2|A) = P(B2 n A) ÷ P(A)

P(B2 n A) = (4/15) × (11/14) = (22/105)

P(A) = (11/15)

P(B2|A) = (22/105) ÷ (11/15) = (2/7)

Hope this Helps!!!

Find 10 rational number between 6/7 and -5/7 please give me right solution​
erik [133]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the distance from -5/7 to 6/7 is 6/7 - (-5/7) = 11/7.

So, if you take steps of 1/7 each, there are 10 steps between -5/7  = 11/7.

-4/7, -3/7, -2/7, ..., 5/7

Explain please thanks
Paladinen [302]
All the angles inside a triangle add up to 180°.

(2x + 15) + (5x + 5) + x = 180
8x + 20 = 180
8x = 180 - 20
8x = 160
x = 160/8
x = 20
the question is asking what angle B is,
B = 2(20) + 15
B = 40 + 15
B = 55°

The solutions to f(x) = 64 is x = 7 and x = –7.

Solution:

Given data:

$f(x)=x^{2}+15 – – – – (1)

f(x)=64 – – – – (2)

To find the solutions to f(x) = 64.

Equate equation (1) and (2), we get

x^2+15=64

Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation.

x^2+15-15=64-15

x^2=49

x^2=7^2

Taking square root on both sides of the equation, we get

x = ±7

The solutions to f(x) = 64 is x = 7 and x = –7.

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere.So following options are correct options

  • slowly increasing global temperature
  • caused when atmospheric gases trap heat
  • increasing because of carbon dioxide emissions
