Answer:

1) The probability that the second apple is red is 0.7143 (71.43%).

2) The probability that at least one red apple is picked 0.9341 (93.41%).

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a probability tree as the attached picture.

1) There are 2 ways in the probability tree when the second apple is red:

Both apples are red:

P(R∩R)=\frac{10}{14}\frac{9}{13}=0.4945

Only the second apple is red:

P(Y∩R)=\frac{4}{14}\frac{10}{13}=0.2198

The probability that the second apple is red is the sum of the previous probabilities.

P(2nd R)=P(R∩R)+P(Y∩R)=0.4945+0.2198=0.7143

2) To find the probability that at least one apple is red, we can get the probability of none of the apples is red and then it will be subtracted from 1.

The way in the probability tree is Y∩Y:

P(Y∩Y)=\frac{4}{14} \frac{3}{13}=0.0659

P(at least 1 R)= 1-P(Y∩Y)=1-0.0659=0.9341

Answer:

(1)  \frac{5}{7} is the probability that the second apple you pick is red

(2) \frac{85}{91} is the probability that you pick at least one red apple

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

First you must remember that <em>the probability is: </em>

<em>\frac{desired outcome}{total possible outcomes}</em>

There are 2 ways this can happen independently: either the first apple and our second apple are both red. Or the first apple is yellow, and the second is red.

You know you have 14 apples in total: 10 red and 4 yellow.  

In the first case, considering the definition, the probability that the first apple is red is: \frac{10}{14}

This means that of the 14 apples in total, you have 10 that are red.

Now that you picked an apple and it was red, there were 13 apples in total in the bag, and 9 red apples. So the probability that the second apple you pick is red is \frac{9}{13}.

So, to get the probability that both apples are red, you get them by multiplying,  because the probability of the second selection depends on the first:

\frac{10}{14} *\frac{9}{13} =\frac{45}{91}

Now consider the case where the first apple is yellow and the second is red. For that, considering the definition, the probability that the first apple is yellow is: \frac{4}{14}

This means that of the 14 apples in total, you have 4 that are yellow.

Now that you picked an apple and it was yellow, there were 13 apples in total in the bag. But the red apples are still 10, because the apple you picked was yellow. So the probability that the second apple you pick is red is \frac{10}{13}.

So the probability that only the second apple is red is:

\frac{4}{14} *\frac{10}{13}=\frac{20}{91}

To find the chance that one or the other happens, you add:

\frac{45}{91}+\frac{20}{91}=\frac{65}{91}=\frac{5}{7}

So, <em>\frac{5}{7} is the probability that the second apple you pick is red</em>

2)

The probability that in 2 selections at least one is red is: 1 – probability of both yellow, calculating the probability that both are yellow following the previous reasoning :

1-\frac{4}{14} *\frac{3}{13} =1-\frac{6}{91}=\frac{85}{91}

So, <em>\frac{85}{91} is the probability that you pick at least one red apple</em>

In triangle ABC angle A=45 angle B =40 and a=7.Which equation should you solve to find b?
coldgirl [10]

We have been given that in triangle ABC angle A=45 angle B =40 and a=7. We are asked to find the equation that we can use to solve for 'f'.

We have two angles and opposite sides to these angles.

We will use Law of Sines to solve our given problem.

\frac{a}{\sin(A)}=\frac{b}{\sin(B)}=\frac{c}{\sin(C)}, where a, b and c are opposite sides corresponding to angles A, B, and C respectively.

The angle opposite to side b is 40 degrees and angle opposite to side a is 45 degrees.

Upon substituting these values in Law of Sines, we will get:

\frac{7}{\sin(45^{\circ})}=\frac{b}{\sin(40^{\circ})}

Therefore, our required equation would be \frac{7}{\sin(45^{\circ})}=\frac{b}{\sin(40^{\circ})}.

Each lenght is in metres Calculate DC​
Gnom [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

ED is greater than BC

the line from B to ED ^ (which i drew ) the point it touches ED name it X. so EX will be 2 ( ED-BC)(6-4).

then u have a triangle. EX, XB and EB.

you have length of EX(2) and u have hypotenuse. so u can calculate XB using Pythagoras theorem.

15.1²=2²+XB²

15.1²-2²=XB²

224.01=XB²

XB=14.97

since XB and DC are parallel ( a rectangle is forming XBCD) so DC is also 14.97
