Answer:1). 0.077

2). 0.525

3). 0.09366

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of balls = 38 orange + 28 purple + 15 yellow= 80 balls.

1). Probability of 3 balls in order of orange, purple, orange.

Probability = (38/80) *(27/79) *(37/78)

=0.475*0.3418*0.474

= 0.077

2). Probability of either purple or yellow

Probability= (27/80) + (15/80)

= 0.525

3). Probability of exactly 1 color each in 3 balls

Probability = 3((38*27*15)/(80*79*78))

= 3*(15390/492969)

=3*0.03122

=0.09366

Question 2: show working out
kherson [118]
Answer in fraction form is exactly 2/27 
Answer in decimal form is approximately 0.07407

========================================================

Explanation:

4 people play both,9 play flat flute only, 12 play piano only.
So 4+9+12 = 13+12 = 25 people play one instrument only or they play both.

We have 27 people total meaning that 27-25 = 2 play neither instrument.

Divide the values 2 and 27 to get
2/27 = 0.07407
this value is approximate (rounded to five decimal places)

How many solutions does 2x+ 2x+ 2=4+2x have
yuradex [85]
Let's see!
2x + 2x + 2 = 4 + 2x\\ 4x + 2 = 4 + 2x\\ 4x - 2x + 2 = 4 + 2x - 2x\\ 2x + 2 = 4\\ 2x + 2 - 2 = 4 - 2\\ 2x + 0 = 2\\ 2x = 2\\ 2x/2 = 2/2\\ x = 1\\
The answer is B

Find the sum of the first 6 terms of 3 - 6 + 12 + …
Natalka [10]

Answer:

S_6 = -63

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence above is a geometric sequence.

The common ratio (r) = \frac{-6}{3} = \frac{12}{-6} = -2

The common ratio < 1, therefore, the formula for the sum of nth terms of the sequence would be: S_n = \frac{a_1(1 - r^n)}{1 - r}

a1 = 3

r = -2

n = 6

Plug in the values into the formula

S_6 = \frac{3(1 - (-2^6)}{1 - (-2)}

S_6 = \frac{3(1 - (64)}{1 + 2}

S_6 = \frac{3(-63)}{3}

S_6 = -63
