Answer:
1/1000
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of two independent events A, B (independent = events that do not depend on each other) is given by the product of the individual probabilities of A and B:
(1)
In this problem, the single event is "getting a 3" when extracting a random number between 1 and 10.
The total number of possible outcomes is
n = 10
While the number of succesfull outcomes (getting a 3) is only one:
So, the probability of drawing a 3 in 1 draw is
Then, we want to find the probability of getting three "3" in 3 consecutive generations. These events are independent events, so we can use rule (1) to find the total probability, and we get:
Remember, order of operations
exponent before multiply
so 4x^5/6=4 times x^5/6
simplify the x^5/6 first
remember
so

Answer:
D. 2/17
Step-by-step explanation:
Add all of the marbles: 6 blue marbles + 6 black marbles + 3 green marbles + 2 purple marbles = 17 marbles altogether.
Since there are 2 purple marbles out of 17 marbles in the paper sack, the complement to the probability that she will draw a purple marble is 2/17.
