Mathematics

choosing a blue marble does not represent the complement event of choosing a red marble because 2/5 ≠ 4/5.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

There are 2 blue marbles, 1 red marble, and 2 purple marbles.

The total number of marbles ⇒ 2 blue + 1 red + 2 purple = 5 marbles.

<u>To find the probability of choosing a blue marble :</u>

P (blue) = No.of blue marbles / Total marbles

⇒ 2 / 5

<u>To find the complement event of choosing a red marble :</u>

  • Complement of an Event is defined as all the outcomes that are NOT the event.
  • So the Complement of an event is all the other outcomes (not the ones we want).

Complement of choosing red ⇒ P (not getting red marble)

P (not getting red marble) = No.of marbles other than red / Total marbles

⇒ 4 / 5

Therefore, P(blue) is not equal to P(not getting a red).

⇒ 2/5 ≠ 4/5

So, choosing a blue marble does not represent the complement event of choosing a red marble.

Answer:

Sample Response: The complementary event for choosing a red marble is choosing a blue or purple. The total number of marbles is 5. The probability of choosing a red marble is 1/5, and the complement would be 4/5. That is not the same as choosing a blue marble.

A minor league baseball team plays 122 games in a season. If the team won 14 more than three times as many games as they​ lost,
Leviafan [203]
W + L = 122
W = 3L + 14

3L + 14 + L = 122
4L + 14 = 122
4L = 122 - 14
4L = 108
L = 108/4
L = 27 <=== they lost 27 games

W = 3L + 14
W = 3(27) + 14
W = 81 + 14
W = 95 <=== they won 95 games
