Suppose you have two urns with poker chips in them. Urn I contains two red chips and four white chips. Urn II contains three red

chips and one white chip. You randomly select one chip from urn I and put it into urn II. Then you randomly select a chip from urn II.
(a) What is the probability that the chip you select from urn II is white?
b) Is selecting a white chip from urn I and selecting a white chip from urn II independent? Justify your answer numerically.

Answer:

Multiple answers

Step-by-step explanation:

The original urns have:

  1. Urn 1 = 2 red + 4 white = 6 chips
  2. Urn 2 = 3 red + 1 white = 4 chips

We take one chip from the first urn, so we have:

The probability of take a red one is : \frac{1}{3} (2 red from 6 chips(2/6=1/2))

For a white one is: \frac{2}{3}(4 white from 6 chips(4/6=(2/3))

Then we put this chip into the second urn:

We have two possible cases:

  • First if the chip we got from the first urn was white. The urn 2 now has 3 red + 2 whites = 5 chips
  • Second if the chip we got from the first urn was red. The urn two now has 4 red + 1 white = 5 chips

If we select a chip from the urn two:

  • In the first case the probability of taking a white one is of:  \frac{2}{5} = 40%  ( 2 whites of 5 chips)
  • In the second case the probability of taking a white one is of:  \frac{1}{5} = 20%  ( 1 whites of 5 chips)

This problem is a dependent event because the final result depends of the first chip we got from the urn 1.

For the fist case we multiply :

\frac{4}{6} x \frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{15} = 26.66%   ( \frac{4}{6} the probability of taking a white chip from the urn 1, \frac{2}{5}  the probability of taking a white chip from urn two)

For the second case we multiply:

\frac{1}{3} x \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{30} = .06%   ( \frac{1}{3} the probability of taking a red chip from the urn 1, \frac{1}{5}   the probability of taking a white chip from the urn two)

fomenos

Answer:

Michelle bought a pack of crayon for $3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of packs = 5

The cost of a pack of crayons =

(Cost of 5 packs of crayon) / (number of packs of crayons)

The cost of a pack of crayons = ($16.25 ) /  5

The cost of a pack of crayons = $3.25

rectangle ABCD is graphed in the cordinate plane. The following are the verticies of the rectangle; A(-6,-4),B(-4,-4),C(-4,-2),
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Therefore Perimeter of Rectangle ABCD is 4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

ABCD is a Rectangle.

A(-6,-4),

B(-4,-4),

C(-4,-2), and

D (-6,-2).

To Find :

Perimeter of Rectangle = ?

Solution:

Perimeter of Rectangle is given as

\textrm{Perimeter of Rectangle}=2(Length+Width)

Length = AB

Width = BC

Now By Distance Formula  we have'

l(AB) = \sqrt{((x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2} )}

Substituting the values we get

l(AB) = \sqrt{((-4-(-6))^{2}+(-4-(-4))^{2} )}

l(AB) = \sqrt{((2)^{2}+(0)^{2} )}=2\ unit

Similarly

l(BC) = \sqrt{((-4-(-4))^{2}+(-2-(-4))^{2} )}

l(BC) = \sqrt{((0)^{2}+(2)^{2} )}=2\ unit

Therefore now

Length = AB = 2 unit

Width = BC = 2 unit

Substituting the values  in Perimeter we get

\textrm{Perimeter of Rectangle}=2(2+2)=2(4)=8\ unit

Therefore Perimeter of Rectangle ABCD is 4 units

The diameter of a ping pong ball is 4.0cm. find the length in kilometers of a row of 6.02×1023 ping pong balls.
Vikentia [17]
The length is determined by multiplying the number of balls with the diameter. The answer that would come out of this is in units of centimeters.

    L = (6.02 x 10^23 balls)(4 cm/ball)
    L = 2.408 x 10^24 cm

Then, we use the proper conversion factor to convert centimeter to kilometer.

     L = (2.408 x 10^24 cm)(1 m/100 cm)(1 km/1000 m)
       L = (2.408 x 10^24)(10^5)
        

The answer to this item is 2.408 x 10^19 km.
