Answer:

the probability that at least one envelope is a yellow envelope is 16/21

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that at least one envelope is a yellow envelope is P(Y);

P(Y) = 1 - P(Y)'

P(Y)' is the probability that no envelope is a yellow envelope.

Given;

red envelope = 1

blue envelopes = 3

green envelopes = 2

yellow envelopes = 3

Total = 9

Number of non-yellow envelope = 9 -3 = 6

(6 envelope are not yellow)

P(Y)' = P1 × P2 × P3

Since there is no replacement;

P(Y)' = 6/9 × 5/8 × 4/7

P(Y)' = 5/21

From equation 1;

P(Y) = 1 - 5/21

P(Y) = 16/21

the probability that at least one envelope is a yellow envelope is 16/21.

Can someone plz help me
Illusion [34]
First rectangle:
Has 3 cubes in each 5 layers, and imagine it, so we have all dimension needed which is:
l=3 unit
w=1 unit
h=5 unit.
V=l×w×h
V=3×1×5
V=15 cubic inches.

Second rectangular:
Doing the same like that to get:
l=5 unit
w=1 unit
h=3 unit
V=15 cubic inches. As a result, there are no prism that are greater to each other, which mean that they have the same volume of 15 cubic inches. Hope it help!
