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.

13f + 6 -f = -3 <br><br> help?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

f = -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

13f + 6 -f = -3

Combine like terms

12f +6 = -3

Subtract 6 from each side

12f+6-6 = -3-6

12f = -9

Divide each side by 12

12f/12 = -9/12

f = -3/4

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

12^2 = 144, 9^2 = 81, and 15^2 = 225.

144 + 81 = 225, therefore a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A quarter circle is one fourth of a circle. To find the area of a quarter circle, find the area of the whole circle by using the formula A = pi * r^2 and then divide by 4. To find the perimeter of the quarter circle, find the circumference of the whole circle, divide by 4, and then add the radius twice.
