Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles

We randomly select 4 marbles out of which 2 are white and 2 are black

Probability that 2 white and 2 black marbles are selected is

P=\frac{^4C_2\times ^4C_2}{^8C_4}

P=\frac{18}{35}

The process is continue for n trails until we choose the correct order

i.e. we have to fail in n-1 trails

For exact n selection Probability is given by

Req.\ Probability=Probability\ of\ failure\ in\ (n-1)\ trials\times Probability\ of\ getting\ exact\ order

=\left ( 1-\frac{18}{35}\right )^{n-1}\times \frac{18}{35}

What is the missing value
Vikentia [17]
If A is equal to 30, and A+B equals 42. That means B equals 12. So, if the value increased with the same rate of change, it would be 54. This is because 30 plus 12 is 42. 42 plus 12 would equal 54.

If Richard can paint their living room in 4 hours, and Vanessa can paint the same living room in 5 hours, then how long will it
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

2 hrs 13 mins

Step-by-step explanation:

If Richard can paint the living room in 4 hrs, then in 1 hour he can paint 1/4 of the living .

If Vanessa can paint the living room in 5 hours, then in one hour, she can paint 1/5 of the living room.

In one hour Richard and Vanessa can paint 1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

y is the number of hours it will take both Richard and Vanessa to paint the living room. 1/y is how much of the house they can paint in one hour.

1/4 + 1/5 = 1/y

(5 + 4)/20. ( find the LCM)

9/20 = 1/y

9y= 20

y = 20/9

y = 2.22hrs

y = 2 hrs 13 mins
