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.

4b.) Write an equation using point-slope form with a slope of 2.3 and goes
Yuri [45]

Answer:

y+3.2=2.3(x-4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

So the point-slope formula looks like this: y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y_1 = any y point on the line

x_1 = any x point on the line

m = the slope

And hey, look, we're already given all that information!

So we can just plug those values into the equation:

y+3.2=2.3(x-4.5)

(*note: It's a +3.2 because 3.2 was negative in the first place, and -(-x) = +x)

From 250 kilograms of milk 12 kg is obtained
Lina20 [59]

12kg,=12000gm

now 12000/200= 60

250kg= 250000 /60=4166.66

So 4166.66 gm of milk will be needed to produce 200 gm of oil.

Find the formula for the nth term of the sequence: 0,7,18,33,52​
defon

Answer:

t(n) = 2n² + n - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given sequence: </u>

  • 0, 7, 18, 33, 52

Find the formula for nth term t(n)

<h3>Solution</h3>

<u>Sequence is neither arithmetic nor geometric, analyzing:</u>

  • 0, 7, 18, 33, 52

<u>First level difference</u>

  • 7, 11, 15, 19

<u>Second level difference</u>

  • 4, 4, 4

<u>As there are two levels, the formula should be in the form of:</u>

  • t(n) = an² + bn + c

<u>Trying the formula with the known terms:</u>

  • t(1) = 0 ⇒ a+b + c= 0
  • t(2) = 4a + 2b + c = 7 ⇒ 3a + b = 7
  • t(3) = 9a + 3b + c = 18 ⇒ 3(3a+b) + c = 18 ⇒ 21 + c = 18 ⇒ c = -3

<u>Going back to previous equations to find remaining coefficients:</u>

  • t(1) ⇒ a+ b = 3 ⇒ t(2) = 2a + (a+b) = 7 ⇒2a + 3 = 7 ⇒ a= 2 ⇒ b = 1

<u>So the formula becomes:</u>

t(n) = 2n² + n - 3
