A box contains 100 balls, of which r are red. Suppose that the balls are drawn from the box one at a time, at random without rep

lacement. Determine (a) the probability that the first ball drawn will be red; (b) the probability that the 50th ball drawn will be red; and (c) the probability that the last ball drawn will be red.

Answer:

(a) \frac{r}{100}

(b) \frac{r}{100}

(c) \frac{r}{100}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total number of balls = 100,

Red balls = r

So, the remaining balls = 100 - r,

(a) ∵ The probability that first ball drawn will be red

=\frac{\text{Red balls}}{\text{Total balls}}

=\frac{r}{100}

(b) Also, the probability of a ball other than red ball = 1-\frac{r}{100}

=\frac{100-r}{100}

So, the probability of getting red ball in second thrawn( one is red second is red or one is not red second is red ),

=\frac{r}{100}\times \frac{r-1}{99}+\frac{100-r}{100}\times \frac{r}{99}

=\frac{r}{99}[\frac{r-1}{100}+\frac{100-r}{100}]

=\frac{r}{99}[\frac{r-1+100-r}{100}]

=\frac{r}{99}[\frac{99}{100}]

=\frac{r}{100}

Now, the the probability of getting red ball in third thrawn,

=\frac{r}{100}\times \frac{r-1}{99}\times \frac{r-2}{98}+\frac{100-r}{100}\times \frac{r}{99}\times \frac{r-1}{98}+\frac{100-r}{100}\times \frac{99-r}{99}\times \frac{r}{98}

=\frac{r}{100}

......so on,...

This pattern will be followed in every trials,

Hence, the probability that the 50th ball drawn will be red = \frac{r}{100}

(c) Similarly,  the probability that the last ball drawn will be red = \frac{r}{100}

Find four consecutive integers whose sum is 114.
Nezavi [6.7K]

If n is the first of these integers, then the other three are n + 1, n + 2, and n + 3. Then

n + (n + 1) + (n + 2) + (n + 3) = 114

4n + 6 = 114

4n = 108

n = 27

So the four numbers are 27, 28, 29, and 30.

Suppose Skyler invests in an annuity that pays 3.2% annual interest, compounded monthly. If she contributes $155 every month for
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

$3286.47

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>155((1+0.032/12)^12*10</u>

          0.032/12

P_10 = 21886.46638739

155 * 12 * 10 = 18600

21886.46638739 = 18600 + I_10

I_10 = 3286.46638739

round answer to nearest cent

$3286.47
