there are only red counters and blue counters in a bag. Jim takes at random a counter from a bag. the probability that the count

er is red is 0.45 Jim puts the counter back into the bag. Molly takes at random a counter from the bag. She puts the counter back in the bag. What is the probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours? Give your answer as a decimal

Answer:

0.495 probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours

Step-by-step explanation:

For each trial, there are only two possible outcomes. Either a blue counter is picked, or a red counter is picked. The counter is put back in the bag after it is taken, which means that we can use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability that the counter is red is 0.45

This means that p = 0.45

Jim taken a counter, then Molly:

Two trials, so n = 2

What is the probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours?

One red and one blue. So this is P(X = 1).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{2,1}.(0.45)^{1}.(0.55)^{1} = 0.495

0.495 probability that Jim and Molly take counters of different colours

The equation of the line in this graph is<br>y= ____ x+____ .<br>​
Alexxx [7]
The equation of the line in this graph is y = 3/2x + 3.

Explanation:

In slope intercept form equations, the initial value is where everything begins. In this equation, that would be at the point (0,3). From there, because it is going up toward the right side, there is a positive slope. The formula for slope is rise over run, so to get our slope, we have to go up 3 units and over 2 units.

Divide the following polynomial using synthetic division, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write answer
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

The quotient is x^2-3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial division is (x^3-4x^2+4x-1)\div (x-1)

To perform the synthetic division we write out the coefficients and arrange them as shown.

  1   -4   4   -1

<u>1 |     1    -3   1</u>

   1   -3   1    0

The quotient is x^2-3x+1

The descending powers of x means from highest degree to the least

The remainder is 0
