Answer:  The correct option is (B) \dfrac{1}{50}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there are two blue, one yellow, one white, one orange, two red, one pink, one purple and one green gumball.

We are to find the probability of picking a blue gumball then a yellow gum ball after replacing the first gumball.

The total number of gumballs is equal to the number of elements in the sample space for the event of picking a ball from the collection.

So,

n(S)=2+1+1+1+2+1+1+1\\\\\Rightarrow n(S)=10.

Let, E be the event of picking a blue gumball.

Then, n(E) = 2.

and let F be the event of picking a yellow gumball after putting the first ball back.

Then, n(F)=1.

Therefore, the probability of picking a blue gumball then a yellow gum ball after replacing the first gumball will be

P\\\\=P(E)\times P(F)\\\\\\=\dfrac{n(E)}{n(S)}\times \dfrac{n(F)}{n(S)}\\\\\\=\dfrac{2}{10}\times\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\\\=\dfrac{1}{50}.

Thus, the required probability is \dfrac{1}{50}.

Option (B) is CORRECT.

The answer is B) 1/50

Probability of picking Blue-2/10 which is 1/5

Probability of picking Yellow-1/10

1/5x1/10=1/50

How do you simplify (1/2)^4
Igoryamba
(1/2)^4=1/2*1/2*1/2*1/2=1/16=0.0625

Since the first number is 1, it will remain 1 at the end. So we have to find the bottom number to the power of four.

2^4=2*2*2*2

This can be simplified to equal

2^4=4*4

Which equals to 16. So we know the final equation will be equal to 1/16

What is 28- 12.5% decrease???
OLEGan [10]
Ok so I assume
28 and decreased by 12.5%

percent means partst out of 100 so
12.5%=12.5/100=0.125
first find 12.5% of 28 then subtract
0.125 times 28=3.5
decrease
28-3.5=24.5

answer is 24.5

A basketball coach kept stats for his team in free throw percentage and steals (among others). At the last game, Erin's free thr
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, she did better in the free throw category.

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question:

She did better in the category that she had the higher z-score:

Free-throws:

Her free throw percentage was 79%, which means that X = 79

The team averaged 87% from the free throw line with a standard deviation of 12, which means that \mu = 87, \sigma = 12. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{79 - 87}{12}

Z = -0.67

Steals:

She had 4 steals, which means that X = 4

Averaged 7 steals with a standard deviation of 3, which means that \mu = 7, \sigma = 3. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{4 - 7}{3}

Z = -1

Due to the higher z-score, she did better in the free throw category.
