Each of the 25 balls in a certain box is either red, blue, or white and has a number from 1 to 10 painted on it. If one ball is

to be selected at random from the box, what is the probability that the ball selected will either be white or have an even number painted on it?
a) The probablity that the ball will both be white and have an even number is 0.
b) The probablity that the ball will both be white minus the probablity that the ball will have an even number on it is 0.2.

Answer:

Probability ball: white - P(W)P(W);

Probability ball: even - P(E)P(E);

Probability ball: white and even - P(W&E).

Probability ball picked being white or even: P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)-P(W&E).

(1) The probability that the ball will both be white and have an even number painted on it is 0 --> P(W&E)=0 (no white ball with even number) --> P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)−0P(WorE)=P(W)+P(E)−0. Not sufficient

(2) The probability that the ball will be white minus the probability that the ball will have an even number painted on it is 0.2 --> P(W)−P(E)=0.2P(W)−P(E)=0.2, multiple values are possible for P(W)P(W) and P(E)P(E) (0.6 and 0.4 OR 0.4 and 0.2). Can not determine P(WorE)P(WorE).

(1)+(2) P(W&E)=0 and P(W)−P(E)=0.2P(W)−P(E)=0.2 --> P(WorE)=2P(E)+0.2P(WorE)=2P(E)+0.2 --> multiple answers are possible, for instance: if P(E)=0.4P(E)=0.4 (10 even balls) then P(WorE)=1P(WorE)=1 BUT if P(E)=0.2P(E)=0.2 (5 even balls) then P(WorE)=0.6P(WorE)=0.6. Not sufficient.

Answer: E.

Please help answer the following question
Elena L [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The unmarked angle of the triangle is also 40o. The triangle is marked with two equal sides (isosceles).

<2 + 40 + 40 = 180            Combine the left

<2 + 80 = 180                    Subtract 80 from both sides

<2 = 180 - 80

<2 = 100 degrees.

That's not the answer. We have to solve for x

<2 = x + 106

100 = x + 106       Subtract 106 from both sides

100 - 106 = x

x = - 6

blondinia [14]
There is two event that needs to be made: 1. blue eyes, and 2. brown eyes. A spinner is made with a circle. A full circle has 360 degrees and it would be divided based on the probability of the event.
Blue eyes have 25% chance, so the angle of the spinner would be 25%*360°= 90°
Brown eyes have 75% chance, so the angle of the spinner would be 25%*360°= 270°

So, the 90° of the circle would be written as 1(blue eyes) and 270° of the circle will be written as 2(brown eyes).
