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

A horse is 17 hands tall at the hand equals 4 inches how tall is the horse in inches
Lilit [14]
<h3><u>68 inches</u></h3>

Because we know how large each hand is, we can multiply the number of hands by the amount of inches each one represents to find the total number of inches.

17 * 4 = 68

Find the measures of EAF DAE and CAD
sdas [7]
You have to build an equation to find the answer,

angles in a straight line add upto 180° 
so your equation would be,

12x+30°=180°
      -30    -30
=12x=150°
   ÷12  ÷12
=x=12.5°

now find the measures of the angles by using 12.5 as x.

angle EAF= 2x
                 =2×12.5
                 =25° degrees

angle DAE= 4x
                 =4×12.5
                 =50°degrees

angle CAD=6x
                 =6×12.5
                 =75°degrees

check,
30+25+50+75=180°degrees

hope this helps.......
