Box 1 contains 3 blue and 5 red balls, whereas Box 2 contains 2 blue and 4 red ball. A ball is randomly chosen from Box 1 and th

en transferred to Box 2, and a ball is then randomly selected from Box 2. What is the conditional probability that the transferred ball was blue, given that a red ball is selected from Box 2 (round off to second decimal place)?

Answer:

0.32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event that the transferred ball was blue.

B be the event that the red ball is selected from box 2

C be the event that the transferred ball was red

Then:

P(A) be the probability that the transferred ball was blue, which is 3/8

P(C) be the probability that the transferred ball was red, which is 5/8

P(B|A) is the probability that selected ball is red, given that the transferred ball was blue, which is 4/7

P(B|C) is the probability that selected ball is red, given that the transferred ball was red, which is 5/7

P(B) is the probability that the selected ball is red, which there are 2 scenarios, given that the transferred ball is blue and red

P(B) = P(B|A)P(A) + P(B|C)P(C)

P(B) = \frac{4}{7}\frac{3}{8} + \frac{5}{7}\frac{5}{8}

P(B) = \frac{3}{14} + \frac{25}{56} = \frac{37}{56}

P(A|B) is the probability that the transferred ball was blue, given that a red ball is selected from Box 2, which can be solved using Bayes theorem

P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)} = \frac{\frac{4}{7}*\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{37}{56}} = \frac{3}{14}\frac{56}{37} = \frac{12}{37} = 0.324

Without calculating, which has a bigger volume. A cube that has a length, width, and height of 18 m. Or a sphere with a radius o

Weird. A period appears above this... huh.

Answer:

[Th]e cube has a greater value.

Step-by-step explanation:

What the word problem really wants us to get [is ]the question of 'Which is greater, A=6a^2 when 'a' [is] 18 or A=4\pir^2 when r = 9? And here's how to solve that.

Starting with the[ c]ube we have A=6a^2. A bit t[o]o simple, right?

A=6(18)^2 Substitute numbers.

A=6(324) Solve ex[p]onents.

A=1944 Mult[i]ply.

So w[e] know that the cube is 1944 meters cube[d ] in area. But what about the more [f]ormidable sphere? Fo[r] it we need a slightly m[o]re co[m]plicated formula, A=4\pir^2. However, instead of using the real pi I will be rounding to 3.14, since we have no calculator so anything more would take way too long and fry your[ bra]in.

A=4(3.14)(9)^2 Subst[i]tute numbers.

A=4(3.14)(81) Solve expone[n]ts.

A=12.56(81) Multip[ly].

A=1017.36 Multiply again[.]

Now, since I'm sure all of us can count, we know that 1944 is greater than 1017.36. Or in other words, the cube is bigger than the sphere.

And PLEASE don't copy this guys. Make your own iteration. Change it up!

1200 people visited a museum. 240 of the visitors were children. what percent of the visitors were children?​
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

20 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage that were children, we take the number of children over the total and multiply by 100%

There are 240 children and 1200 total people

240/1200 * 100%

.2*100%

20%

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

B = 2t + 7,536

Step-by-step explanation:

B - 7,536 = 2t

Add 7,536 to both sides.

B = 2t + 7,536
