Perpendicular to River = 100
Parallel to River = 200

Total Amount of Fencing = 400

*This specific problem, which shows up often, always has a side ratio of 1:2 when minimising fencing (or maximising area).

A carnival game allows a group of players to each draw and keep a marble from a bag. The bag contains 5 gold marbles, 25 silver
laila [671]
1. What’s the probablity of a second person winning the small prize?
There are now 99 total marbles, and 24 silver marbles. So, 24/99 is 0.24 probability.
2. Which player is most likely to win a big prize?
Since each player draws a silver marble (aka a small prize) there are less small prize marbles in the bag after each turn. So, the first person would have a 5% chance (or 0.05)of winning the big prize gold marble, but the last person would have a slightly bigger chance (5.15% or 0.0515) of winning a big prize.
3. How could the game be made fair for each player?
Well it’s quite simple, just have each player return their marble and the number of marbles would be kept constant, giving everyone an equal chance. Or you could have them all play at the same time, either way.
4. Same answer as 3

One bag of marbles contains 2 black , 3 red , and 5 white marbles . A second bag contains 3 white and 2 black marbles . What is
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

<u>NOT BOTH BLACK = 1-2/25 = 23/25</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Bag 1 : 8 non-black out of 10

P(1) = 8/10

Bag 2: 3 non-black out of 10

P(2)=3/5

Probability of both independent events happening can be calculated using the multiplication rule

P(1) and P(2) = P(1)*P(2) = 8/10 * 3/5 = 24/50 = <u>12/25 (both are not black, or none is black)</u>

Interpretating not both black meaning at most one black, then

we calculate the probability of both are black,

P(1) = 2/10

P(2) = 2/5

Probability that both balls are black can be calculated using the multiplication rule

P(1) and P(2) = 2/10 * 2/5 = 2/25

Probability that <u>NOT BOTH BLACK = 1-2/25 = 23/25, i.e. at most one black</u>
