<u>Problem</u>
A bag contains 6 blue marbles, 10 red marbles, and 9 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn at random without replacement, what is the probability that two red marbles are drawn?
<u>Work </u>
Probability = no. of favorable outcomes /total no. of outcomes
Probability of getting a blue marble=5/5+6+9=5/20
Probability of getting a red marble=6/20−1=6/19
5/20×6/19
<u>Answer</u>
3/20
So it is C.
82% = 82/100
38/50 = 76/100
Average of 76 and 82 = 79
Getting a score of 38 out of 50 will hurt his grade, as it will bring the average down to 79%
Given:
2002 sold 1000 paperback books and 1500 hardback books for a total of 2,500 books.
2003 sold 15% more paperback books and 5% more hardback books.
1000 x 1.15 = 1,150 paperbacks
1500 x 1.05 = 1,575 hardbacks
1150 + 1575 = 2,725
2,725 - 2,500 = 225
225 / 2,500 = 0.09
0.09 x 100% = 9% choice C
