Donavan and Jones are randomly choosing chalices to drink from. 4 of the chalices contain purified water, 5 contain spoiled milk

, and 6 contain diluted flat soda. Jones gets to choose a chalice from the remaining ones after Donavan drinks from 3 of them. If the chances of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is then 1/3, how many of the chalices that Donavan drank out of contained purified water?

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Chalice with purified water = 4

With spoiled milk = 5

With flat soda = 6

Probability of Jones drinking from a chalice with purified water after Donovan had drank from 3 = 1/3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes = (4 + 5 + 6) = 15

After Donovan drinks 3 :

Total possible outcomes = (15 - 3) = 12

If the probability of Jones choosing a chalice with purified water is 1/3 then :

(Required outcome / Total possible outcomes) =1 /3

(Required outcome / 12) = 1 / 3

Required outcome * 3 = 12

Required outcome = 12 / 3

Required outcome = 4

Therefore, since initial number of chalice with purified water is 4,

4 - 4 = 0

Then Donovan did not drink from a chalice containing purified water.

Whats 16+15 in factored form
VashaNatasha [74]
FULL ANSWER<span>Factored form may be a product of greatest common factors or the difference of squares. For instance, the factored form of x^3 + 2x^2 - 6 = x(x+2)(x-3) and the factored form of x^2 - 16 = (x+4)(x-4)It is possible to solve for x by using factored form; x^2 + 5x + 6 can be reduced to its factored form by removing the x as a common factor. This results in (x+2)(x+3). Once in the factored form, solve for x by multiplying to get zero. In the equation (x+2)(x+3) = 0, the zero factor property explains that anything multiplied by zero equals zero. This means x + 2 = 0 and x + 3 = 0. The solutions to this formula would be x = -2 and x = -3.Once the solutions for x are found, check to make sure they work. In the equation x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0, it was found that x = -2, -3. Replace x in the equation with each of the solution values. So, [-2]^2 + 5(-2) + 6 = 0 turns into 4 - 10 + 6 = 0, which is correct, and [-3]^2 + 5(-3) + 6 = 0 becomes 9 - 15 + 6 = 0, which is also correct.
