A jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles. We randomly choose 4 marbles. If 2 of them are white and 2 are black, we stop. If no

t, we replace the marbles in the jar and again randomly select 4 marbles. This continues until exactly 2 of the 4 chosen are white. What is the probability that we shall make exactly n selections?

Answer:

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).  </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that in the single trial, we have (8 4) possibilities of choosing our set of balls. If we have chosen two white balls and two black balls, the probability of doing that is simply  

p=(4 2)*(4 2)/(8 4)

This is well know Hyper geometric distribution. Now, define random variable X that marks the number of trials that have been needed to obtain the right combination (two white and two black balls). From the nature of the problem, observe that X has Geometric distribution with parameter p that has been calculated above. Hence  

P(X = n) = (1— p)^n-1 *( p )

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).  </em>

Answer:

14,000 visitors weekly

Step-by-step explanation:
Break the Equation Down.

10^3 = 10 x 10 x 10

10x10x10=1000 V

Put the 1000 within the problem.

2 x 1000

Solve

2 x 1000 = 2000 Visitors

7 days are within a week so multiply the daily visitors (2000) by 7

Jamar's teacher told him that one of the reasons he gave on the proof below was incorrect. Which reason did he make the mistake
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason given to go from :

2 (3x +4) = 56  to 6x + 8 = 56

is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.
