A bag contains blue and pink balls. There are 8 more blue balls than pink balls. Identify the expression that represents the pro

bability that a person will pick a blue ball first and then a pink ball without replacement. Then find the probability of someone picking a blue ball and then a pink ball if the bag originally contains 5 pink balls. Round to the nearest hundredth.

Let 
b---> the original amount of blue balls in the bag
p---> the original amount of pink balls in the bag

we know that
b=8+p
p=5
so
b=8+5----> b=13

step 1
Find the total of balls originally in the bag
total =13+5-----> 18

step 2
find <span>the probability that a person will pick a blue ball first
</span>Find P(b)
P (b)=13/18

step 3
Find the probability that a person will pick a pink ball second <span>without replacement
the total of balls now is (18-1)-------> 17
P(p)=5/17

step 4
Find </span><span>the probability that a person will pick a blue ball first and then a pink ball without replacement 
</span>(13/18)*(5/17)-----> (13*5)/(18*17)------> 65/306-----> 0.21

the answer is
0.21

Answer:

0.212

Step-by-step explanation:

Thinking process:

Let the b  = the original blue balls in the bag

and p = the original number of pink balls in the bag

Thus,

the number of blue balls is more than pik balls, therefore:

b = 8 + p

and p = 5

therefore, b = 8 + 5

                    = 13

The total number of balls = b + p

                                           = 5 + 13

                                           = 18

Probability of person picking a blue ball, P(b) = \frac{13}{18}

The probability that a person picks a pink ball without replacement = 18 - 1

                                                                                                                 = 17

= \frac{5}{17}

The probability that a person will pick a blue ball and pick ball without replacement =

Which expression simplifies...
Zina [86]

Answer:

  see below

Step-by-step explanation:

If suffices to look at the last term. It must simplify to 4/(3w²), so the exponents of z must match in numerator and denominator, and the ratio of constants must reduce to 4/3.

The exponents of z have the right values in choices B and D, but the ratio of constants only matches in choice D. Looking at the rest of choice D, we see that we can factor 6w²z² from both numerator and denominator, then factor 2 from the remaining numerator to make it match the desired form.

  \dfrac{(12w^2z^4-24w^2z^2)}{18w^4z^2}=\dfrac{6w^2z^2}{6w^2z^2}\cdot\dfrac{2z^2-4}{3w^2}=\dfrac{2(z^2-2)}{3w^2}

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (3,5) and is perpendicular to the line y=3.
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A line perpendicular to it must therefore be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (3, 5) with x- coordinate 3 , thus

x = 3 ← equation of perpendicular line
