-- The first urn has 9 balls in it all together, and 2 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  2/9 .

-- The second urn has 13 balls in it all together, and 3 of them are white.
If you don't peek, then the prob of pulling out a white ball is  3/13 .

-- The probability of being successful BOTH times is

        (2/9) x (3/13)  =  ( 6/117 )  =  about  0.0513  or  5.13% (rounded)

Answer:

Probability that both balls are white =\frac{6}{117} =0.051=5.1\%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of number of favorable outcomes to total number of outcomes.

The first urn contains 2 white balls and 7 yellow balls and the second urn contains 3 white balls and 10 yellow balls.

Probability of drawing white ball from first urn =\frac{2}{2+7} =\frac{2}{9}

Probability of drawing white ball from second urn =\frac{3}{3+10} =\frac{3}{13}    

Probability that both balls are white = Probability of drawing white ball from first urn x  Probability of drawing white ball from second urn

Probability that both balls are white = \frac{2}{9} \times \frac{3}{13}=\frac{6}{117} =0.051=5.1\%

Find the indicated term of the given arithmetic sequence. a1=45, d= -3, n=10
klasskru [66]

In this sequence, we're given the first term, which is 45.

The difference between each term is -3, which means 3 will be subtracted in each term.

We're asked to find the value of the tenth term, and we can do so by using this formula:

a(n) = a(1) + d(n - 1)

Replace values.

a(10) = 45 + -3(9)

a(10) = 18

<h3>The value of the tenth term is 18.</h3>

How to solve: a parade traveled 4 miles in 2 hours. how far did tge parade travel per minute?
jek_recluse [69]

There's a really easy way to convert any units to other units.

Right now, we have the fraction  (4 miles) / (2 hours).

We want to find a fraction that's exactly equal to that one,
but has the units of  (miles/minute)  or maybe  (feet/minute).

Just take the original fraction, and multiply it by some other
fractions.

Each fraction you multiply it by must have the value of ' 1 ' so
you don't change the value of the original fraction.  But it can
have different units, that cancel with other units to eventually
give you the units you want.

      (4 miles / 2 hours) times (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The second fraction is equal to ' 1 ', because the top and the bottom
have the same value ...  1 hour is the same thing as  60 minutes.

Multiply the fractions:  (4 miles x 1 hour) / (2 hour x 60 minutes)

Now you can cancel 'hour' from the top and the bottom, and you have

             (4 miles x 1) / (2 x 60 minutes)

               = (4 miles) / (120 minutes) 

               =          (4 / 120) mile/minute = 0.0333... mile / minute .

Let's do it again, go a little farther, and get an answer that
might mean more and feel more like an answer. 

   (4 miles) / (2 hours) x (5280 feet / mile) x (1 hour / 60 minutes)

The 2nd and 3rd fractions both have the value of ' 1 ', because
the top is equal to the bottom. 

Multiply all three fractions: 

     (4 miles x 5280 feet x 1 hour) / (2 hours x 1 mile x 60 minutes)

You can cancel both 'mile' and 'hour' out of the top and bottom,
and look what you have left:

     (4 x 5280 feet x 1) / (2 x 1 x 60 minutes)

  =  (4 x 5280) / (2 x 60)  feet / minutes

  =  (21,120 / 120)  feet/minute   =    176 feet per minute
