Answer:

The probability that the ball drawn from the second box is red is 40/99

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the event that the second ball drawn is red into 2 disjoint events, and obtain its probability by summing both probabilities for the disjoint cases.

  • Case 1: The ball drawn from the first box is red and the ball drawn for the second box is also red
  • Case 2: The ball drawn from the first box is green but the ball drawn from the second box is red

For the first case, we have 11 balls in the first box, 7 of them being red. Thus, the probability of drawing a red ball is 7/11. After that, we will put the red ball drawn in the second box, so that it will have 9 balls in total, 4 of them being red. As a consecuence, the probability of drawing a red ball in this instance is 4/9. We need to multiply that probability by the probability that a red ball was drawn first, so we have a probability of 7/11 * 4/9 = 28/99 that the balls drawn are both red.

Now, lets go to the second case. The probability of drawing a green ball from the first box is 4/11, and after placing that ball in the second box, the probability that the new ball drawn is red is 3/9 = 1/3; this is because we will have 3 red balls out of a total of 9 (6 are green). Thus, the probability of this second event is 4/11 * 1/3 = 4/33.

Combining both probabilities, the probability that the ball drawn in the second box is red is 28/99 +4/33 = 40/99 = 0.40404040404...

Answers for both boxes please ​
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

x = -5  y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2y = 9

multiply the 2nd equation by 3 to set it up for elimination

3(x - 3y)= 3(4)

3x-9y = 12

so now combine both to add

-3x + 2y = 9

3x - 9y = 12

Adding both gives you

-7y = 21

divide both by -7 and you get

y = -3

and you substitute y back into equation to get x

x - 3 (-3) = 4   gives you

x + 9 = 4

x = 4 - 9

x = -5

An advertisement claims that a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry. A 5-pound box costs $3.50. A 15-pound box
Llana [10]

Answer. Option  B. 0.8 cents.


Solution:

With a 5-pound box of detergent will wash 20 loads of laundry, then with a 15-pound box (5*3) of detergent will wash 20*3=60 loads of laundry, and you would pay $10.00.

To wash 60 loads of laundry with 5-pound box, you would need three 5-pound box, and you would pay $3.50*3=$10.50.


Then you would save in total $10.50-$10.00=$0.50

And per load, you would save: $0.50/60=$0.008=0.008*100 cents=0.8 cents
