<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

A box contains 12 balls numbered 1 through 12.

Also the ball are drawn without replacement.

a)

The probability that the first ball had a smaller number on​ it.

i.e. the number on the first ball could be: {1,2,3}

Hence, the probability  that the first ball had a smaller number on​ it is:

              \dfrac{3}{12}=\dfrac{1}{4}=0.25

b)

The probability that the first ball has a even number on it is:

There are total 6 even numbers {2,4,6,8,10,12}

but 4 can't be considered as it comes on the second draw, so we are left with just 5 balls with even number.

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{5}{12}=0.4166

What is the volume of the rectangular prism?<br><br> Type the answer in the boxes below.
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

15 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

I think it's 15 because if you count, there are 30 boxes. Each box has a volume of 1/2, so you are supposed to multiply, which means 1/2x30.

1/2x30=15

I hope it's right!

Answer:

Probability of selecting red tile out of a box containing 3 red,2 white & 5 black tiles = 3/10 = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the calculation of likelihood of an event.

It can be calculated by Formula : Favourable outcome / Total Outcomes

Example : If a box contain 3 red tiles, 2 white tiles, 5 black tiles

Prob (selecting a red tile) = Favourable outcome (red tiles) / Total Outcomes (total tiles) = 3 / 10 = 0.3

Similarly, prob (white tile) & prob (black tile) = 2/10 ie 0.2 & 5/10 ie 0.5 respectively
