Hi there! :)
Find the central angle using a ratio in regards to angle and circumference.
The radius is 27 units, so use the following equation to calculate circumference:
C = 2rπ
Therefore:
C = 2(27)π = 54π
Since we have the total circumference, we can write the following proportion:
Cross multiply:
54πx = 6480π
Divide both sides by 54π to isolate for x:
x = 120°
Answer:
The probability of getting two of the same color is 61/121 or about 50.41%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bag is filled with five blue marbles and six red marbles.
And we want to find the probability of getting two of the same color.
If we're getting two of the same color, this means that we are either getting Red - Red or Blue - Blue.
In other words, we can find the independent probability of each case and add the probabilities together*.
The probability of getting a red marble first is:
Since the marble is replaced, the probability of getting another red is:
The probability of getting a blue marble first is:
And the probability of getting another blue is:
So, the probability of getting two of the same color is:
*Note:
We can only add the probabilities together because the event is mutually exclusive. That is, a red marble is a red marble and a blue marble is a blue marble: a marble cannot be both red and blue simultaneously.
