A bowl contains 10 balls, of which 4 are red and 6 are white. Balls are randomly selected with replacement from the bowl until 4

red balls have been selected. Let X be the number of white balls drawn before the fourth red ball is selected. Calculate the probability that X is 6.

Answer:

The probability that X is 6 = 0.2508

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of picking a red ball = 4 / 10 = 0.4

Probability of picking a white ball = 6 / 10 = 0.6

Let's first state that the last ball selected in this scenario will be red. This implies that we selected 6 white balls and 3 red balls in any manner before we selected the last red ball. So we need to find the probability of taking out 6 white balls and 3 red balls, and use permutation to account for the order they get drawn in:

Total Probability = Probability of 6 white balls * Probability of 3 red balls * number of ways this can happen

Probability of 6 white balls = 0.6 ^ 6

Probability of 3 red balls = 0.4 ^ 3

Number of ways this can happen (permutation with similar objects) = \frac{9!}{6!*3!}

Number of ways this can happen = 84

Total probability = 0.6^6 * 0.4^3 * 84

Total probability = 0.2508

The degree of the polynomial function f(x) is 3.
Schach [20]

We are given degree of the polynomial function = 3.

Because degree is 3, there should be three x-intercepts of the given graph of the polynomial.

We also given roots of the equation f(x)=0 are −2 , 0, and 3.

Therefore, x intercepts should be at:

(0,0), (-2,0) and (3,0).

<h3>In the given options third option shows x-intercepts at 0, -2 and 3.</h3><h3>Therefore, correct option is 3rd option.</h3>

Please help me answer this question
agasfer [191]

Answer: The answer is "tween".

Step-by-step explanation: One of the first usages of the term "tweens" was in <u>the late 1990s</u> referring to children who are in the liminal space between childhood and adolescence. In other words, these children are in a state of “in between.” The culture of tweens originally emerged as a marketing niche directed at preteen girls.
