An urn contains two black balls and three red balls. If two different balls are successively removed, what is the probability th

lidiya [134]

You can extract two balls of the same colour in two different way: either you pick two black balls or two red balls. Let's write the probabilities of each pick in each case.

Case 1: two black balls

The probability of picking the first black ball is 2/5, because there are two black balls, and 5 balls in total in the urn.

The probability of picking the second black ball is 1/4, because there is one black ball remaining in the urn, and 4 balls in total (we just picked the other black one!)

So, the probability of picking two black balls is

$P(\text{two blacks}) = \dfrac{2}{5} \cdot \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{2}{20} = \dfrac{1}{10}$

Case 2: two red balls

The probability of picking the first black ball is 3/5, because there are three red balls, and 5 balls in total in the urn.

The probability of picking the second red ball is 2/4=1/2, because there are two red balls remaining in the urn, and 4 balls in total (we just picked the other red one!)

So, the probability of picking two red balls is

$P(\text{two reds}) = \dfrac{3}{5} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{3}{10}$

Finally, the probability of picking two balls of the same colour is

$P(\text{same colour}) = P(\text{two blacks})+ P(\text{two reds}) = \dfrac{1}{10} + \dfrac{3}{10} = \dfrac{4}{10} = \dfrac{2}{5}$

Find two consecutive odd integers such that seven times the first equals five times the second.

fredd [130]

Answer:

Odd integers are always one more that an even integer:

1st: 2n+1

2nd: 2n+3

Step-by-step explanation:

14n+7 = 10n+15

4n = 8

n = 2

------------

1st: 2n+1 = 5

2nd: 2n+3 = 7

7x=5*(x+2)

7x=5x+10

7x-5x=10

2x=10

x=5

a family buys a new home for $212,500 and pays a 20% down payment ($42,500). if the mortgage is for 15 years at 5.75% interest w

diamong [38]

Answer:

Their monthly house payment is of $2,184.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

Compound interest:

The compound interest formula is given by:

$A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

A family buys a new home for $212,500 and pays a 20% down payment ($42,500).

This means that the loan is of 212,500 - 42,500 = $170,000, that is, $P = 170,000$
