(Ross, 4.78) A jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles. We randomly choose 4 marbles. If 2 of them are white and 2 are black, w

e stop. If not, we replace the marbles in the jar and again randomly select 4 marbles. This continues until exactly 2 of the 4 chosen are white. What is the probability that we shall make exactly n selections?

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}

3. Find the volume of the cylinder
liraira [26]
Diameter=16mm, so the radius is 8. The formula for volume of a cylinder is the area of the base times height, or v=πr²h.
Substituting the values in, we get π(8²)(5.7), which gives us roughly 1146mm^3.

Add or subtract. Express simplest form 1 2/5 - (-1 2/15
Elenna [48]
Its 2 8/15 Conversion a mixed number 1 2
5
to a improper fraction: 1 2/5 = 1 2
5
= 1 · 5 + 2
5
= 5 + 2
5
= 7
5


To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 5. Whole number 1 equally 1 * 5
5
= 5
5

b) Add the answer from previous step 5 to the numerator 2. New numerator is 5 + 2 = 7
c) Write previous answer (new numerator 7) over the denominator 5.

One and two fifths is seven fifths
Conversion a mixed number -1 2
15
to a improper fraction: -1 2/15 = -1 2
15
= -1 · 15 + (-2)
15
= -15 + (-2)
15
= -17
15


To find new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number -1 by the denominator 15. Whole number -1 equally -1 * 15
15
= -15
15

b) Add the answer from previous step -15 to the numerator 2. New numerator is -15 + 2 = -13
c) Write previous answer (new numerator -13) over the denominator 15.

Minus one and two fifteenths is minus thirteen fifteenth
Subtract: 7
5
- (-17
15
) = 7 · 3
5 · 3
- (-17)
15
= 21
15
- (-17
15
) = 21 - (-17)
15
= 38
15

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(5, 15) = 15. The fraction result cannot be further simplified by cancelling.
In words - seven fifths minus minus seventeen fifteenth = thirty-eight fifteenths.

I’m sort of confused on how to state and find the domain and range of this graph
Yuliya22 [10]

    You have a special type of function, so you have to express the domain and range of each interval. Every aspect of this graph is closed, so you will only use brackets when writing your answers. Hence, you get [30,5] for the first interval, since there is a horizontal distance of 30 and a vertical distance of 5. You repeat the same process for each interval.
