Consider three boxes with numbered balls in them. Box A con- tains six balls numbered 1, . . . , 6. Box B contains twelve balls

numbered 1, . . . , 12. Finally, box C contains four balls numbered 1, . . . , 4. One ball is selected from each urn uniformly at random.
(a) What is the probability that the ball chosen from box A is labeled 1 if exactly two balls numbered 1 were selected
(b) What is the probability that the ball chosen from box B is 12 if the arithmetic mean of the three balls selected is exactly 7?

Answer:

a) 0.73684

b) 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

part a)

P ( A is 1 / exactly two balls are 1) = \frac{P ( A is 1 and that exactly two balls are 1)}{P (Exactly two balls are one)}

Using conditional probability as above:

(A,B,C)

Cases for numerator when:

P( A is 1 and exactly two balls are 1) = P( 1, not 1, 1) + P(1, 1, not 1)

= (\frac{1}{6}* \frac{11}{12}*\frac{1}{4})  + (\frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{12}*\frac{3}{4}) = 0.048611111

Cases for denominator when:

P( Exactly two balls are 1) = P( 1, not 1, 1) + P(1, 1, not 1) + P(not 1, 1 , 1)

= (\frac{1}{6}* \frac{11}{12}*\frac{1}{4})  + (\frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{12}*\frac{3}{4}) + (\frac{5}{6}*\frac{1}{12}*\frac{1}{4})= 0.0659722222

Hence,

P ( A is 1 / exactly two balls are 1) = \frac{P ( A is 1 and that exactly two balls are 1)}{P (Exactly two balls are one)} = \frac{0.048611111}{0.06597222} \\\\= 0.73684

Part b

P ( B = 12 / A+B+C = 21) = \frac{P ( B = 12 and A+B+C = 21)}{P (A+B+C = 21)}

Cases for denominator when:

P ( A + B + C = 21) = P(5,12,4) + P(6,11,4) + P(6,12,3)

= 3*P(5,12,4 ) =3* \frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{12}*\frac{1}{4}\\\\= \frac{1}{96}

Cases for numerator when:

P (B = 12 & A + B + C = 21) = P(5,12,4) + P(6,12,3)

= 2*P(5,12,4 ) =2* \frac{1}{6}*\frac{1}{12}*\frac{1}{4}\\\\= \frac{1}{144}

Hence,

P ( B = 12 / A+B+C = 21) = \frac{\frac{1}{144} }{\frac{1}{96} }\\\\= \frac{2}{3}

Could y’all help me out with this?

Answer:

M' (5,-1)

D' (5,1)

A' (3,4)

W' (4,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the coordinates of Quadrilateral MDAW with vertices M(-1, 5), D(1,5), A(4,3), and W(-1,4) after a reflection across y = x.

We can find these coordinates by following the following rule:

Reflection over y = x rule : ( x , y ) ---> ( y , x )

Explanation of rule: Simply swap the places of the x and y values.

Applying rule to given coordinates:

M(-1,5) -----> swap x and y values -----> M'(5,-1)

D(1,5) ----> swap x and y values -----> D'(5,1)

A(4,3) -----> swap x and y values -----> A'(3,4)

W(-1,4) -----> swap x and y values -----> W'(4,-1)

So the coordinates of Quadrilateral MDAW  after a reflection over the y = x  line are M'(5,-1) , D'(5,1) , A'(3,4) , W'(4,-1)

The longest side of triangle is 10 cm which group of line segments could form the other 2 sides of the triangle
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

The group of line segments that could form the other 2 sides of the triangle is;

B. 7 cm and 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of the length of any two sides of a triangle is larger than the length of the third side

The given parameter of the triangle is that the length of the longest side of the triangle = 10 cm

Let, 'a', and 'b', represent the remaining two sides of the triangle

Therefore, by the triangle inequality theorem, we have;

(1) a + b > 10 cm

(2) 10 cm + a > b

(3) 10 cm + b > a

The option that satisfies condition (1), (2), and (3) are options 'B' and 'D', for which we have;

7 cm + 8 cm = 15 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 7 cm = 17 cm > 8 cm

10 cm + 8 cm = 18 cm > 7 cm

9 cm + 10 cm = 19 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 9 cm = 19 cm > 10 cm

10 cm + 10 cm = 20 cm > 9 cm

Therefore, the possible combination of the other two sides are;

7 cm and 8 cm or 9 cm and 10 cm

However, a side of option 'D' is 10 cm and given that the longest side of the triangle = 10 cm, the length of each of the other two side should be less than 10 cm and the only given possible combination of the other two side should be option 'B', 7 cm and 8 cm.
