There are 10 chips altogether. 4 of them are white.
4/10 is the chance of lifting out a white chip
There are 3 of them left and 9 chips altogehter.
4/10 * 3/9
12/90
4/30
2/15
Comment
(my edit) it is not that 2/15 is wrong (although it is not entirely right).
1/3 is the correct answer if you assume that what happened during the first draw has nothing to do with what will happen on the second. It is like saying if you throw 11 heads in a row with a fair coin, what are the chances of throwing a heads on the 12th throw? The answer is 1/2. That is the same kind of question you have asked.
The two of us who have responded have really responded to what are the chances of drawing 2 white chips. The question really does not restrict us in a way that prevents us from saying that. I'll stick with
B <<<< answer
but I think it would be nice if the writer of the question made it clear that 1/3 should be the proper answer. I am glad you came back and posted the right answer. It makes me think.
The semi right answer is B <<<<----
If my reasoning bothers anybody, I'll reedit again. I'm only leaving it because sometimes a mistake is more instructive than a given answer.
Answer:
Probability of no black bead is adjacent to the yellow bead is = 0.966
Step-by-step explanation:
First to arrange all the beads without restrictions = 6! = 720
Probability the black bead is adjacent to Yellow bead = 4!/6! = 24 /720
= 0.0333
Probability of no black bead is adjacent to the yellow bead is
= 1- Probability the black bead is adjacent to Yellow bead
= 1-0.033
= 0.966
Answer: 3 chewy fruit worms cost 0.30 dollars. 300 chewy fruit worms cost 30 dollars. you can buy 100 chewy fruit worms for 10 dollars. you can buy 500 chewy fruit worms for 50 dollars. the unit price for a chewy fruit worm is 0.10 dollars. The unit rate is 1:0.10.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. $9500 because 10*950=9500
2. $95 because 950/10=95

<h3>
Answer: Choice A) 212 square meters</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
14.10 has four sig figs. The 0 at the end is significant. This measurement is accurate to the hundredths place. If the author wrote 14.1, then it would be accurate to the tenths place with three sig figs.
15.0 has three sig figs. The 0 is significant. If they wrote 15 or 15. then we'd be dealing with 2 sig figs instead; however they placed the 0 there to tell the reader "this measurement is accurate to the tenths place"
---------------------
Multiply the values given
14.10*15.0 = 211.5
Round that to three sig figs. We pick the smaller sig fig count to round to since we cannot be certain it is accurate to four sig figs. In a sense, we pick the weakest link and use that to determine rounding when it comes to multiplication and division.
This means 211.5 rounds to 212
