Answer:

0.362

Step-by-step explanation:

When drawing randomly from the 1st and 2nd urn, 4 case scenarios may happen:

- Red ball is drawn from the 1st urn with a probability of 9/10, red ball is drawn from the 2st urn with a probability of 1/6. The probability of this case to happen is (9/10)*(1/6) = 9/60 = 3/20 or 0.15. The probability that a ball drawn randomly from the third urn is blue given this scenario is (1 blue + 5 blue)/(8 red + 1 blue + 5 blue) = 6/14 = 3/7.

- Red ball is drawn from the 1st urn with a probability of 9/10, blue ball is drawn from the 2nd urn with a probability of 5/6. The probability of this event to happen is (9/10)*(5/6) = 45/60 = 3/4 or 0.75. The probability that a ball drawn randomly from the third urn is blue given this scenario is (1 blue + 4 blue)/(8 red + 1 blue + 1 red + 4 blue) = 5/14

- Blue ball is drawn from the 1st urn with a probability of 1/10, blue ball is drawn from the 2nd urn with a probability of 5/6. The probability of this event to happen is (1/10)*(5/6) = 5/60 = 1/12. The probability that a ball drawn randomly from the third urn is blue given this scenario is (4 blue)/(9 red + 1 red + 4 blue) = 4/14 = 2/7

- Blue ball is drawn from the 1st urn with a probability of 1/10, red ball is drawn from the 2st urn with a probability of 1/6. The probability of this event to happen is (1/10)*(1/6) = 1/60. The probability that a ball drawn randomly from the third urn is blue given this scenario is (5 blue)/(9 red + 5 blue) = 5/14.

Overall, the total probability that a ball drawn randomly from the third urn is blue is the sum of product of each scenario to happen with their respective given probability

P = 0.15(3/7) + 0.75(5/14) + (1/12)*(2/7) + (1/60)*(5/14) = 0.362

Which sampling method is MOST appropriate in estimating the average number of votes for each candidate in an election across a c
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B. Stratified sampling, because there are specific subgroups to investigate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified Sampling is a sampling method and is used when the population has subgroups with different characteristics. Random sampling is applied in each of the sub-groups <em>proportional </em>to their size and then these samples <em>combined </em>together to create sample of the study.

Since there are three towns with people from different occupations ( retirees,business owners, office workers), it is better to use stratified sampling method.

Answer:

Cost = 112.266 cent/km

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Unit\ cost = R17.82/litre

Rate = 6.3litre/100km

Required

The fuel cost in cent\ per\ km

This is calculated using:

Cost = Unit\ cost * Rate

Cost = R17.82/litre * 6.3litre/100km

Cost = R17.82 * 6.3/100km

Cost = R1.12266/km

Multiply by 100 to get the cost in cents

Cost = 1.12266 * 100 cent/km

Cost = 112.266 cent/km

Factor completely 2x^3y^4-8x^2y^3+6xy^2
Maru [420]

Answer:

2 x y^2 (x y - 1) (x y - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^3y^4-8x^2y^3+6xy^2

each term contains 2xy^2 so factor that out

2xy^2(x^2y^2 -4xy+3)

then lets factor the inside

what terms multiply together to give us +3 and add to -4

-3* -1 = 3     -3+-1 =-4

2 x y^2 (x y - 1) (x y - 3)
