Step 1 it says Additive inverse, that is not additive inverse. Additive inverse is the opposite of a number. There is no opposite number in the problem. And step 5 is the answer, it shouldn't be simplify. Hope that helps! <span />

Gerald has a bag of 10 colored balls: 3 green, 3 red, and the rest yellow. He randomly draws two balls, one at a time without re
butalik [34]

Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome.

Given that there are 10 balls of which 3 green, 3 red, and the rest yellow

Number of yellow balls = 10 - 3 - 3 = 4

Probability of picking a;

Green ball  = 3/10

Red ball = 3/10

Yellow ball = 4/10

If two balls are picked without replacement, the probability that one is at least yellow will be

YR RY YG GY YY

= 4/10*3/9 + 3/10*4/9 + 4/10*3/9 + 3/10*4/9 + 4/10*3/9

=12/90 *5

= 2/3

A bag contains 6 red balls and blue balls. 4 balls are selected at random. find the probability of selecting 4 red balls.
masya89 [10]

Another way is to note that there are <span><span>(<span>104</span>)</span><span>(<span>104</span>)</span></span> (“10 choose 4”) ways to select 4 balls from a collection of 10. If 4 of those 10 balls are “special” in some way (in this case, “special” = “red”), then the number of ways to choose 4 special balls is <span><span>(<span>44</span>)</span><span>(<span>44</span>)</span></span>. (The factor of <span><span>(<span>60</span>)</span><span>(<span>60</span>)</span></span> is included to convey that, after choosing 4 special balls, we choose none of the 6 non-special balls.) This line of reasoning gives the second expression.
