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.

What is true about the graphs of y = x^2 – 2 and y = x^2 + 2?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Graphs behave differently at various x-inter cepts. Sometimes the graph will cross over the x-axis at an intercept. Other times the graph will touch the x-axis and bounce off.

Suppose, for example, we graph the function. f(x) = (x+3)(x - 2)²(x+1)³.

Notice in the figure below that the behavior of the function at each of the x-intercepts is different.
