In the game of Pick-A-Ball, there are 10 colored balls: 2 red, 4 white, and 4 blue. The balls have been placed into a small buck

et, and the bucket has been shaken thoroughly. You will be asked to reach into the bucket without looking and select 2 balls. Because the bucket has been shaken thoroughly, you can assume that each individual ball is selected at random with equal likelihood of being chosen. It is common in games of chance to be rewarded for obtaining unlikely results. For example, in the game of poker, hands that are less likely to occur tend to trump hands that are more likely to occur. That same concept applies in this game. It costs $10 to play Pick-A-Ball, and your prize is the reciprocal of the probability of obtaining your exact sequence of results, expressed in dollars. For example, if the probability of obtaining your exact sequence of results is 0.10, your prize is 1/0.10

Answer:

The probability of selecting the color of ball that you just selected(a red ball) is P(r) =  \frac{2}{10}

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The total number of colored balls  is  n  =  10

   The number of red balls is r =  2 red

    The number of white ball is  w =  4

    The number of blue balls is  b  =  4

   The number of balls to be selected is  N  =  2 balls

    The cost of playing picking a ball is  c  =  $10

    The winnings is k =  \$ P(A)

Here P(A) is the probability of obtaining the exact sequence of result  and from the question it  is  P(A) =  0.10

Generally my price according to the question is  

     k =  \frac{0.10 }{10}

=>   k =  0.01

Let assume we selected a red ball

 Generally the probability of selecting a red ball is  mathematically represented as

       P(r) =  \frac{2}{10}

What is the distance between the points?! round to the nearest tenth i need to show work
Contact [7]

Answer:

8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance between two points we use the formula posted below

All we need to do is figure out what the points are on the graph and plug them into the formula... we end up with

the square root of (5-(-2)^2+(2-(-3)^2 and get the answer of 8.602325267

then we round to the nearest tenth and get 8.6

Factor 2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that 2a2b3 is 2a2b^2. If not, this answer isn't correct.

Look at the whole numbers. Is there a number that divides into them evenly? Yes, 2, so you pull 2 from the problem and divide each number by 2. Do the same for each variable.

2a2b3 - 14ab + 16a

2(ab^3 - 7ab +8a)

2a(b^3 - 7b + 8)

Spin a spinner numbered 1 to 5 and toss a coin. What is the probability of spinning an odd number
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is B. 3/10.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's calculate the probability of spinning an odd number:

We can spin an odd number (1, 3 or 5) out of 5 events, it means that the probability of spinning an odd number is:

3/5

2. Let's calculate the probability of getting tails on the coin:

We can toss a coin and get tails one out of 2 events, it means that the probability of getting tails on the coin is:

1/2

3. These are independent events because the fact that we spin an odd number does not affect the probability of getting tails on the coin, thus:

Probability of spinning an odd number  and getting tails on the coin =

3/5 * 1/2 = 3/10

<u>The correct answer is B. 3/10</u>
