Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.
Answer:
The probability is 0.3576
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability for the ball to fall into the green ball in one roll is 2/1919+2 = 2/40 = 1/20. The probability for the ball to roll into other color is, therefore, 19/20.
For 25 rolls, the probability for the ball to never fall into the green color is obteined by powering 19/20 25 times, hence it is 19/20^25 = 0.2773
To obtain the probability of the ball to fall once into the green color, we need to multiply 1/20 by 19/20 powered 24 times, and then multiply by 25 (this corresponds on the total possible positions for the green roll). The result is 1/20* (19/20)^24 *25 = 0.3649
The exercise is asking us the probability for the ball to fall into the green color at least twice. We can calculate it by substracting from 1 the probability of the complementary event: the event in which the ball falls only once or 0 times. That probability is obtained from summing the disjoint events: the probability for the ball falling once and the probability of the ball never falling. We alredy computed those probabilities.
As a result. The probability that the ball falls into the green slot at least twice is 1- 0.2773-0.3629 = 0.3576
The reciprocal of 9 2/3 is 3/29
