Answer:

35/68

Step-by-step explanation:

The first box contains 3 orange balls and 4 black balls.

The second box contains 5 orange balls and 6 black balls

Total number of boxes = 2

Let Pr(F) be the probability that the first box is picked.

Let Pr(S) be the probability that the second ball is picked

Let O be the orange ball selected

Pr(F) = 1/2

Pr(S) = 1/2

Pr(O|S) = n(O) / n(S)

= 5/ 6+5

5/11

Pr(O|F) = n(O) / n(F)

= 3/ 4+3

= 3/7

Pr(S|O) = [Pr( O|S).P(S)] / [Pr( O|S).P(S) + Pr( O|F).P(F)]

= (5/11*1/2) / (5/11*1/2) +(3/7*1/2(

= (5/22) / (5/22 + 3/14)

= (5/22) / (136/308)

= 35/68

A cube is numbered 1 through 6. If the cube is rolled twice, how many of the possible outcomes will have two even numbers? 3 9 1
mixer [17]
So 3/6 of the numbers on a cube are even. It will be rolled twice so you multiply 3/6 by 3/6 and get 9/36. This means 9 of the 36 possible outcomes will have 2 even numbers. It could be 2 and 2, 2 and 4, 2 and 6, and so on.

What does 49.39 round to.
Verizon [17]
If you want to round 49.39 to the nearest tenths place you will have to look at your tenths digit. The digit is 3, right? Look at the next number after 3. It is the number 9 for the hundredths place. If the number is bigger than 5 you round it. If it is smaller, you keep it the same. 9 is bigger than 5 so you make the 3 into a 4. Then, you're answer is 49.4 or 49.40 (Which are basically the same answer) It also works the same with the other digits. Simple, right? :)
