<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The probability of getting a red or blue ball is 0.48

<u>For b:</u> The probability of getting a white, blue or orange ball is 0.81

<u>For c:</u> The probability of getting neither white or orange ball is 0.48

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to occurs. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}     .......(1)

We are given:

Number of red balls in a box = 12

Number of white balls in a box = 18

Number of blue balls in a box = 19

Number of orange balls in a box = 15

Total balls in a box = [12 + 18 + 19 + 15] = 64

  • <u>For a:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be red or blue) = [12 + 19] = 31

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a red or blue ball}=\frac{31}{64}=0.48

  • <u>For b:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or blue or orange) = [18 + 19 + 15] = 52

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or blue or orange ball}=\frac{52}{64}=0.81

  • <u>For c:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or orange) = [18 + 15] = 33

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or orange ball}=\frac{33}{64}=0.52

Probability of getting a ball which is neither white or orange = [1 - (Probability of getting a white or orange ball)] = [1 - 0.52] = 0.48

0.6y + 0.8 = 0.28y + 1.12
gavmur [86]

Answer:

<h2>y = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

0.6y + 0.8 = 0.28y + 1.12

Move the variable to L.H.S and change its sign:

0.6y - 0.28y + 0.8 =1.12

Move the constant to R.H.S and change its sign:

0.6y - 0.28y = 1.12 - 0.8

Calculate

0.32y = 0.32

Divide both sides of the equation by 0.32

\frac{0.32y}{0.32}  =  \frac{0.32}{0.32}

Calculate

y  = 1

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..

The floor plan for a particular room calls for 17 boards, each 7 feet 7 inches in length. What’s the total length of all the boa
UkoKoshka [18]

7 inches x 17 boards = 119 inches

119 inches / 12 inches per foot = 9 feet 11 inches.

7 feet x 17 boards = 119 feet.

119 feet + 9 feet 11 inches =  128 feet 11 inches

Using the given points, determine the slope. (0, 32) and (100, 212)
Colt1911 [192]
Slope=m=y/x=rise/run=(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
Labeling the question; 0=x1, 32=y1, 100=x2, 212=y2
so just go ahead and fill the numbers in;
(32-212)/(0-100)=(-180/-100)=1.8
so therefore, the slope is at 1.8
