Answer:

The probability that the first block will be green and the second will be yellow is  \frac{1}{9}  or 0.111.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a bag contains 5 yellow blocks, 2 green blocks and 3 blue blocks.

Also, we choose one block and then another block without putting the first one back in the bag.

<u>Firstly, as we know that Probability of any event is given by ;</u>

           Probability of an event  =  \frac{\text{Favorable number of outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}  

SO, <em>Probability that the first block will be green</em> =  \frac{\text{Number of green blocks}}{\text{Total blocks in the bag}}

Here, Number of green blocks = 2

Total number of blocks in bag = 5 yellow + 2 green + 3 blue = 10 blocks

So, Probability that the first block will be green  =  \frac{2}{10}

<em>Similarly, Probability that the second block will be yellow</em> =  

                               \frac{\text{Number of yellow blocks}}{\text{Total number of remaining blocks in the bag}}

Here, Number of yellow blocks = 5

Total number of remaining blocks in bag = 10 - 1 = 9 blocks  {because we haven't put the block back after choosing the first}

So, Probability that the second block will be yellow  =  \frac{5}{9}

<u>Now, Probability that the first block will be green and the second will be yellow</u>  =  \frac{2}{10} \times \frac{5}{9}

            =  \frac{1}{9}  = 0.111

Hence, the required probability is 0.111.

HELP any1 good at math?

Step-by-step explanation:

the equations are :-

=》d = 40m + 200

=》d = 50m

here, by equalising both equations.

( since, d = d )

=》40m + 200 = 50m

=》50m - 40m = 200

=》10m = 200

=》m = 200 ÷ 10

=》m = 20

now,

=》d = 50m

=》d = 50 × 20

=》d = 1000

if you're trying to solve for x, and it is equal to zero, then it would be -3. plug it in and it would all cancel out

If 5-y^2=x^2 then find d^2y/dx^2 at the point (2, 1) in simplest form. ​
ratelena [41]

Answer:

y"(2, 1) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define implicit differentiation

5 - y² = x²

Step 2: Find dy/dx

  1. Take implicit differentiation: -2yy' = 2x
  2. Isolate y': y' = 2x/-2y
  3. Isolate y': y' = -x/y

Step 3: Find d²y/dx²

  1. Quotient Rule: y'' = [y(-1) - y'(-x)] / y²
  2. Substitute y': y" = [-y - (-x/y)(-x)] / y²
  3. Simplify: y" = [-y - x²/y] / y²
  4. Multiply top/bottom by y: y" = (-y² - x²) / y³
  5. Factor negative: y" = -(y² + x²) / y³

Step 4: Substitute and Evaluate

y"(2, 1) = -(1² + 2²) / 1³

y"(2, 1) = -(1 + 4) / 1

y"(2, 1) = -5/1

y"(2, 1) = -5

Is the following statement true or false?
andrew-mc [135]
True because you can put it in any order without affecting it. Example : 5 • 7 = 7 • 5. Either way they still equal 35, therefore the answer will be true.

Hope this helps :)
