Answer:

0.749

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that at least one of the three taken balls is blue is the inverse of the probability that none of the three taken balls is blue, aka all 3 of the taken balls are red. The probability of this to happen is

In the first pick: 13/20 chance of this happens

In the 2nd pick: 12/19 chance of this happens

In the 3rd pick: 11/18 chance of this happens

So the probability of picking up all 3 red balls is

\frac{13*12*11}{20*19*18} = \frac{1716}{6840} = 0.251

So the probability of picking up at least 1 blue ball is

1 - 0.251 = 0.749

Two boards are 26 meters long altogether. One board is 8 meters long. How long is the other board?

I think the answer is 18 because together, they are 26 meters and one is 8 so u have to subtract the total with 8 which is 26-8. the answer to that would be 18.

A cylinder shaped container has a radius of 30 cm and a height of 100 cm. A glass sphere with a redius of 12 cm is placed inside
Artemon [7]
Vcylinder-Vsphere=water


Vcylinder=hpir^2
Vsphere=(4/3)pir^3


given

cylinderradius=30 and h=100
Vcylinder=100pi30^2=100pi900=90000pi
let's leave it in terms of pi for more exactness

sphereradius=12
Vsphere=(4/3)pi12^3=2304pi


cylinder-sphere=90000pi-2304pi=87696pi
using pi=3.14
water=275365.44 cubic cm

last option is corrrect
