A jar has 3 red marbles and 9 blue ones. If you randomly pick a marble without replacing it and then select another, what is the

fractional probability of getting 2 blue?

Well if the person picked a blue marble the first time that would have been a 1/3 chance the 1 would be the blue marble and the 3 would be the red.

if they then picked another marble it would have been again 1/3 assuming that they had picked a blue marble, to begin with

i hope this makes sense to anyone really  (cuz it did in my mind)  ;)

The probability of picking two blue would be 2/9 because you would use the 2 out of the 9

Answer:

19

Step-by-step explanation:

He can make 2 pies with one cup of sugar so he can make 40 pies with 20 cups of sugar. He already used a cup of sugar so the total is 19 (20-1)

Five men and 5 women are ranked according to their scores on an examination. Assume that no two scores are alike and all 10! pos
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

P(X=1)=\frac{1}{2}\\P(X=2)=\frac{5}{18}\\P(X=3)=\frac{5}{36}\\P(X=4)=\frac{5}{84}\\P(X=5)=\frac{5}{252}\\P(X=6)=\frac{1}{252} \\P(X>6)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following event :

X : ''Highest ranking achieved by a woman''

There are five men and five women so the lowest ranking possible is 6, this means that all five men achieved a better ranking than all five women.

In terms of the variable :

X can assume the following values :

X=1\\X=2\\X=3\\X=4\\X=5\\X=6

⇒ P(X=7)=0\\P(X=8)=0\\P(X=9)=0\\P(X=10)=0

⇒ P(X>6)=0

Now let's calculate the probability function for X

P(X=1)=\frac{(5)(9!)}{(10!)}=0.5=\frac{1}{2}

We write on the denominator the total ways to arrange ten different persons in a line. This number is 10!

On the numerator we write the total cases in which the first person is a woman ⇒ (5).(9!)

Because they are five different women and when you pick one of then they are 9! ways to arrange the 9 remaining persons

Following this logic, we continue calculating the probability function :

P(X=2)=\frac{(5)(5)(8!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{18}

Again : Five different ways to choose between the five men in the first position.Then, 5 different ways to choose between the five women.And finally, 8! ways to arrange the remaining persons

P(X=3)=\frac{(5)(4)(5)(7!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{36}

Here we have : five different ways to choose between five men.Four different ways to choose between the four remaining men.Five different ways to choose between the five women for the third position and finally 7! ways to arrange the remaining persons.

P(X=4)=\frac{(5)(4)(3)(5)(6!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{84}

P(X=5)=\frac{(5)(4)(3)(2)(5)(5!)}{(10!)}=\frac{5}{252}

P(X=6)=\frac{(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)(5)(4!)}{(10!)}=\frac{1}{252}

I’m so confused can somebody help me
Setler [38]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

"y varies inversely with x" means:

y = k / x

where k is a constant.

When x = 5, y = 10.

10 = k / 5

k = 50

y = 50 / x

When x = 2:

y = 50 / 2

y = 25
