An urn contains r red balls and b blue balls. One ball is selected at random from this urn, its color is recorded and it is retu

rned to the urn along with m additional balls of the same color as chosen. Another single ball is randomly selected from the urn (now containing r b m balls) and it is observed that the ball is blue. What is the conditional probability that the first ball selected is red given that the 2nd ball selected is observed to be blue?

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the ball being red after first selection is = (r) ÷ (r+b)

The probability of the ball being blue after first selection is = (b) ÷ (r+b)

If the ball selected is red, the total number of balls after its returned together with m number of red balls is = r+b+m

The probability of the  selection doesn't depend on the second selection, hence condition probability is zero.

However the probability of the second selection depends on the first selection.

Answer:

  50 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The side lengths in a 30-60-90 triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. The longest side is 2 times the length of the shortest side.

In this geometry, that means the length of the escalator is 2 times its height, so is ...

  x = 2(25 ft)

  x = 50 ft . . . . . distance a person travels

A recursive rule for a geometric sequence is
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

C. a_n=(9)(\frac{2}{3})^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Iterative geometric sequence:

a_n=a_1x^{n-1}

Recursive geometric sequence:

a_n=xa_{n-1}

The equations are very similar and you only really need to rearrange it. The factor (2/3) and the first term (9) are given, so you can write the iterative equation:

a_n=(9)(\frac{2}{3})^{n-1}

And so the answer is C.
