As a prize for winning a contest, the contestant is blindfolded and allowed to draw 3 dollar bills one at a time out of an urn.

The urn contains forty $1 bills and ten $100 bills. The urn is churned before each selection so that the selection would be at random. What is the probability that none of the $100 bills are selected

Answer:

The probability that none of the $100 bills are selected is 79.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The urn contains forty $1 bills and ten $100 bills.  This gives a total of 50 bills in the urn.

To draw 3 dollar bills one at a time out of an urn, the probability of not selecting a $100 bill, decreases with each selection.

And the probability of not selecting a $100 bill is the probability of selecting a $1 bill in the first selection  = 80% (40/50 x 100).

The probability of selecting a $1 bill the second time = 79.6% (39/49).

The probability of selecting a $1 bill the third time = 79.2% (38/48).

The sum of the probabilities divided by 3 = 79.6% (238.8/3)

b) Probability arises when there is a chance that an event may occur from a set of events that could have occurred. It is based on an estimate that one event happens when all the events in the set are given no less equal chance.

–1/2(2n + 4) + 6 = –9 + 4(2n + 1)
-Dominant- [34]
Simplify by combining like terms to
-n+4=8n-5
subtract 8n from both sides
-n+4-8n=8n-5-8n
-9n+4=-5
subtract 4 from both sides
-9n+4-4=-5-4
-9n=-9
Divide both sides by -9
-9n/-9=-9/-9
n=1
hope this helps!

Mary has $10 in savings. she owes her parents $50. she does some chores and her parents pay her $12. she also gets $25 for her b
muminat
Let's start with what we know:
Mary needs at least $50 to pay back her parents
Currently, she has $10, $12, and $25 in her possession. Let's add those values together and see if they equal $50 or more:

10 + 12 + 25 
22 + 25 = $47

Since she only has $47, she needs $3 more to pay back her parents.
