Answer:

The probability of that happening is 1/22

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the probability, you need to start by finding the probability for each step. The probability of the first one being red is the number of red marbles divided by the total number of marbles.

3 red / 12 total.

3/12

1/4

Now the chance that the second is white is the total number of white marbles divided by how many are left in the bag.

4 white / 11 left

4/11

Lastly, the chance of the last one being blue is the number of blue marbles divided by the amount of total marbles left after two pulls.

5 blue/ 10 left

5/10

1/2

Now to find the overall probability of all 3 happening, we multiply all 3 probabilities together.

1/4 * 4/11 * 1/2 = 1/22

How do you do the slope on a graph
Semmy [17]

I can't be entirely sure what you want to "do" about the slope,
but here is how to FIND it if you have the line on the graph:

-- You pick two points on the graph line.

-- Find the difference in 'y' between the two points.

-- Find the difference in 'x' between the two points.

-- The slope of the line between the two points is

             (the difference in 'y')
divided by
             (the difference in 'x') .

-- If the line on the graph is a straight line, then
the slope is the same everywhere on it.
