An urn contains nine red and one blue balls. A second urn contains one red and five blue balls. One ball is removed from each ur

n at random and without replacement, and all of the remaining balls are put into a third urn. What is the probability that a ball drawn randomly from the third urn is blue?

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

Use slopes and y-intercepts to determine if the lines 5x-5y=-2 and -x+2y=4
HACTEHA [7]

The given pair of lines are not perpendicular.

<h3>What is a line?</h3>

The line is a curve showing the shortest distance between 2 points.

5x - 5y = -2 - - - - - (1)
Transform the equation into standard form,
5x + 2 = 5y
y = 5x /5 + 2/5
y = x + 2/5


The slope of equation 1 is m_1 = 1  and intercept c = 2 / 5


Similarly
x + 2y = 4    - - - - - - - -(2)
Transform it into standard form
y = -x/2 + 4 /2
y = -x / 2 + 2


Slope of the equation 2  m_2= -1 / 2 and intercept c = 2
Slope of line 1 * slope of line 2 = 1 * -1/2 = -1/2


Since the lines are not perpendicular because the pair of lines does not satisfy the property of perpendicular lines i.e
m_1*m_2 = -1

Thus, the given pair of lines are not perpendicular.
