Complete question:

Consider 3 boxes, each of which contains 4 balls in particular, box 1 contains 4 white balls, box 2 contains 3 white balls and 1 red ball, box 3 contains 2 white balls and 2 red balls. Frank chooses a box at random. If boxes 1 and 3 are chosen, Frank extracts 2 balls without replacement. If box 2 is chosen Frank extracts 2 balls with replacement. USE ONLY THE CONDITIONAL PROBABILITY FORMALISM and derive an expression for the probability that the 2 extracted balls are red.

Answer:

11/288

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Box 1: ( 4White, ORed)

Box 2: (3White, 1Red)

Box 3: (2White, 2 Red)

We are told that if Frank choose from Box 1 and Box 3, 2 balls are extracted without replacement.

Since there is no red ball in Box 1, there is no way 2 red balls will come out from Box1.

Our Event, E = getting 2 red balls.

Now Box 1 is ruled out, we have:

P[E(B1)]= 0

P[E/B3)] = (2 2) / (4 2)

= 1/6

If box 2 is chosen, 2 balls are extracted with replacement. Therefore for Box 2:

P(E/B2) = (1/4) *(1/4)

= 1/16

Therefore probability that 2 balls extracted are red, we have:

P(E)=P(E/B1) P(B1) + P(E/B2) P(B2)+P(E/B3) P(B3)

= 0 * \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{16}*\frac{1}{3}

= 11/288

Given triangle, ABC is congruent to triangle EDC find A
arlik [135]

Answer:

m<A = 30 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

m < C in triangle ABC = m < C in EDC so

x + 13 + 42 + x + 13 = 180

2x = 180 - 13 - 13 - 42

2x = 112

x = 56.

So m < C = 56+13 = 69.

m < B = m < D = 81

M < A = 180 - 69 - 81

= 180 - 150 = 30.
