There is a bag filled with 3 blue and 4 red marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it i

s not replaced. Another marble is taken at random. What is the probability of getting 2 that are different in colour?

Answer:

The required probability is 4/7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space for the experiment is: { BB, BR, RB, RR }

The outcome of the event we require is: { BR, RB }

The probabilities for each outcome is given as:

BB: 3/7 x 2/6 = 1/7

BR: 3/7 x 4/6 = 2/7

RB: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

RR: 4/7 x 3/6 = 2/7

Adding the probabilities we have:

{ BR, RB} = 2/7 + 2/7 = 4/7

That's it!

Simplify the expression

SashulF [63]

Answer:

1/(c - d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply numerator and denominator by cd, then factor the denominator and cancel the common factor. (The result is restricted to c+d ≠ 0.)

$\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{d}}{\frac{c}{d}-\frac{d}{c}}=\frac{d+c}{c^2-d^2}\\\\=\frac{d+c}{(c-d)(d+c)}=\frac{1}{c-d}$

Answer:

A). Surface area = 222 cm²

Volume = 180 cm³

B). Surface area = 375 cm²

Volume = 360 cm³

C). % increase in surface area = 67.57%

% increase in volume = 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

In the figure attached base of a prism has been given.

A). Surface area of the prism = (Perimeter of the base of the prism) × height + 2(area of the base)

Perimeter of the base = 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 8

= 30

Area of the base = 8×5 - 2×2 = 36 cm²

Surface area of the prism = 30×5 + 2×(36)= 222 cm²

Volume of the prism = volume of the bigger prism - volume of the smaller prism cut off

= 8×5×5 - 2×2×5

= 200 - 20

= 180 cm³

B). Surface area of the prism if it's height is 10 cm,

Surface area = 30×10 + 2×(36) = 372 cm²

Volume of the prism = 8×5×10 - 2×2×10

= 400 - 40

= 360 cm³

C). Increase in surface area = 372 - 222 = 150 cm²

% increase in the surface area = $\frac{150}{222}\times 100$ = 67.57%

Increase in volume = 360 - 180 = 180 cm³

% increase in volume = $\frac{180}{180}\times 100$ = 100%

Let Q(x, y) be the predicate "If x < y then x2 < y2," with domain for both x and y being R, the set of all real numbers.

Levart [38]

Answer:

a) Q(-2,1) is false

b) Q(-5,2) is false

c)Q(3,8) is true

d)Q(9,10) is true

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is $Q(x,y)$ is predicate that $x$ then $x^{2}$ . where $x,y$ are rational numbers.

a)

when $x=-2, y=1$

Here $-2$ that is $x$ satisfied. Then

$(-2)^{2}$

$4$ this is wrong. since $4>1$

That is $x^{2}$ $>y^{2}$ Thus $Q(x,y)$ $=Q(-2,1)$ is false.

b)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(-5,2)$ .

That is $x=-5, y=2$

Here $-5$ that is $x$ this condition is satisfied.

Then

$(-5)^{2}$

$25$ this is not true. since $25>4$ .

This is similar to the truth value of part (a).

Since in both $x$ satisfied and $x^{2} >y^{2}$ for both the points.

c)

if $Q(x,y)=Q(3,8)$ that is $x=3$ and $y=8$

Here $3$ this satisfies the condition $x$ .

Then $3^{2}$

$9$ This also satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Hence $Q(3,8)$ exists and it is true.

d)

Assume $Q(x,y)=Q(9,10)$

Here $9$ satisfies the condition $x$

Then $9^{2}$

$81$ satisfies the condition $x^{2}$ .

Thus, $Q(9,10)$ point exists and it is true. This satisfies the same values as in part (c)
