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>

Mr Yang’s son has a total of twenty-one $1 and $2 coins in his money box. When he counts his money, he finds that its total valu
irina [24]

Hello!

To solve this, first assume all the coins are $1. Then, find the value that would have. 1 * 21 = $21.

Now, see how far away from $30 we are. 30 - 21 = 9. Therefore, we need an increase by $9.

For each coin changed from a $1 to a $2, how much of an increase is there? $1. Therefore, change 9 coins to $2 coins to have an increase of $9. If he has 9 $2 coins, he'll have 21 - 9 $1 coins, or 12.

Therefore, your final answer is 12 $1 coins and 9 $2 coins.

Hope this helps!

-(4x+6)&lt;2(5x+9)+2x write the solution for interval notation
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(-1.5,\infty)

Step-by-step explanation:

-(4x+6)<2(5x+9)+2x

Distribute:

-4x-6<10x+18+2x

Combine like terms on either side:

-4x-6<12x+18

We want to now gather variable terms on one side of the inequality and constants (terms without variables) on the opposing side.

Add 4x on both sides:

-6<16x+18

Subtract 18 on both sides:

-24<16x

Divide both sides by 16:

-24/16<x

This implies:

x>-24/16

Reduce:

x>-3/2

x>-1.5

So in an interval notation this is (-1.5,\infty).

A triathlon course includes a 400m swim,a 40.1km bike ride,and a 12.2km run what is the total length of the course
agasfer [191]

Convert the meter distance to KM so thaey are all the same measurement:

1 meter = 0.001 km

400 m x 0.001 m/km = 0.4 km

Now add all three distances:

Total distance = 0.4 + 40.1 + 12.2 = 52.7 km.

The answer is B.

If T (n) =6-1 what is the 1st term.
Mariulka [41]
T(n)=6-1=5
that means all terms are 5 because n does not appear on the right hand side.

However, if T(n)=6n-1, then
first term = T(1)=6(1)-1=5,
but second term T(2)=6(2)-1=11...

The manufacturer of the ColorSmart-5000 television set claims 95 percent of its sets last at least five years without needing a
patriot [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Your study variable is X: "number of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use, in a sample of 390"

X~Bi (n;ρ)

ρ: population proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use. ρ = 0.95

n= 390

x= 303

sample proportion ^ρ: x/n = 303/390 = 0.776 ≅ 0.78

Applying the Central Limit Theorem you approximate the distribution of the sample proportion to normal to obtain the statistic to use.

You are asked to estimate the population proportion of televisions that didn't require repairs with a confidence interval, the formula is:

^ρ±Z_{1-\alpha /2}* √[(^ρ(1-^ρ))/n]

Z_{1-\alpha /2} = Z_{0.995} = 2.58

0.78±2.58* √[(0.78(1-0.78))/390]

0.0541

[0.726;0.834]

With a confidence level of 99% you'd expect that the interval [0.726;0.834] contains the true value of the proportion of ColorSmart-5000 that didn't need repairs after 5 years of use.

I hope it helps!
