Answer:

The probability that the first green candy is the seventh M&M selected = 0.0566

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of selecting a green candy = P(G) = 15% = 0.15

Probability of not selecting a green candy, P(G') = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

To compute the probability that the first green candy is the seventh M&M selected

For this to happen, the not green candies are selected 6 times, before a green one is drawn on the 7th draw

That is

[P(G')]⁶ (P(G) = 0.85⁶ × 0.15 = 0.05657 = 0.0566

Answer:

The questions asked are

If you randomly select 4 peanuts

1. Compute the probability that exactly three of the four M&M’s are brown

2. Compute the probability that two or three of the four M&M’s are brown.

3. Compute the probability that at most three of the four M&M’s are brown.

4. Compute the probability that at least three of the four M&M’s are brown.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following information

Brown=12%. P(B)=0.12

Yellow=15%. P(Y)=0.15

Red=12%. P(R), =0.12

Blue=23%. P(B) =0.23

Orange, =23%. P(O) =0.23

Green=15%. P(G)=0.15

Question 1.

They are independent events

If there are exactly three brown and the last is not brown

P(B n B n B n B')

P(B)×P(B)×P(B)×P(B')

0.12×0.12×0.12×(1-P(B))

0.001728×(1-0.12)

0.001728×0.88

0.00152.

0.152%

2. If two or three are brown

I.e we are going to two brown and two none brown or three brown and one not brown. (P(B)×P(B)×P(B')×P(B'))+ (P(B)×P(B)×P(B'))

(0.12×0.12×0.88×0.88)+(0.12×0.12×0.12×0.88)

0.0112+0.00152

0.0127

1.27%

3. At most three brown out of four then we are going to have

BBBB', BBB'B', BB'B'B', B'B'B'B'

These are the cases of at most three brown.

P(B)×P(B)×P(B)×P(B') + P(B)×P(B)×P(B')×P(B') + P(B)×P(B')×P(B')×PB')+ P(B')×P(B')×P(B')×P(B')=

0.12×0.12×0.12×0.88+ 0.12×0.12×0.88×0.88+ 0.12×0.88×0.88×0.88+ 0.88×0.88×0.88×0.88=0.694

0.694

69.4%

4. At least 3 brown out of four selection

I.e BBBB', BBBB

These are the two options

P(B)×P(B)×P(B)×P(B') + P(B)×P(B)×P(B)×P(B)=

0.12×0.12×0.12×0.88 + 0.12×0.12×0.12×0.12

0.001728

0.173%

Hey you ‼️ yeah I unfortunately need your help again these are hard:(
Helga [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of this question is to find out the point where two lines intersect. First we need to get the equation of those lines

Slope of line 1:

(Yb -Ya)/(Xb - Xa) =

(-10 - (-14))/(-1 - (-3)) =

4/2 =

2

Use that slope to find the Y-intercept of line 1

y = 2x + b

-14 = 2(-3) +b

-14 = -6 + b

-8 = b

Therefore Line 1 is:

y = 2x - 8

Slope of line 2

(11 - 13)/(-1 - (-3)) =

-2/2 =

-1

Y-intercept of line 2

y = -x + b

13 = -(-3) +b

13 = 3 + b

10 = b

Therefore line 2 is

y = -x + 10

Now we have 2 equations to solve for the coordinates x and y

y = 2x - 8

y = -x + 10

Substitute y out in one of the equations

2x - 8 = -x + 10

3x = 18

x = 6

Plug x into one of the equations

y = 2(6) - 8

y = 12 - 8

y = 4

Therefore the solution is:

x=6, y=4

When the expression 10^2021 − 2021 is evaluated, the result is a very large number.
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

18,176

Step-by-step explanation:

Figure out an easier thing to do: 1000 - 2021 = 9,797.

Therefore, our answer will be like 9999999999999999999999997979. Out of all of these digits, there are only 2 that arent nines. We know the amount of digits since it's 10^2021 power. We will have one less since we are subtracting 2021. Therefore, 2020 digits in total. Now we know of those 2020 digits, 2 of them are 7, therefore 2018 of them are 9s. That means do 2018(9) + 2(7) = 14 + 18,162 =  18,176.

The equation v/2 -21=-15 is solved in several steps below.
Arada [10]

Answer:

V/2 - 21 = -15

V/2 - 21 + 21 = -15 + 21

V/2 + 0 = 6

V/2 * 2 = 6 * 2

V = 12
