Answer:

a) 12/323

b) 8/233

Explanation:

a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323

b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233

(hopefully I did this right)

¿Qué hecho indujo a Heisenberg a establecer el principio de incertidumbre?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Here's what I find  

Explanation:

Heisenberg observed that if we want to locate a moving electron, we must bounce photons off it.

However, this makes it recoil. By the time the photon returns to our eye, the electron will no longer be in the same place.

He concluded that there is a limit to the precision with which we can simultaneously measure the position and speed (momentum) of a particle.

The more precisely we know the electron's speed, the less precisely we know its position and vice versa.

The uncertainty in the product of the two values cannot be less than a fixed small number.

According to the octet rule, which of elements will have a tendency to loss 2 electrons?
Aneli [31]
The correct option is STRONTIUM.
Strontium is a group 2 element, that means it has two electrons in its outermost shell. This element will prefer to lose these two electrons in its outermost shell in order to attain the octet form, therefore, it will form electrovalent bond with non metals which it can donate two electrons to.

If you take a part time job while you are still in school what might your opportunity scost be
yarga [219]

The opportunity costs of working part-time while attending high school could be studying time, grades, and your own free time. It depends on the person, how they do in school, but if it were for me, I would say the benefits outweigh the costs. I have enough time to study and still get good grades in school.
