There are 3 bags each containing 100 marbles. Bag 1 has 75 red and 25 blue marbles. Bag 2 has 60 red and 40 blue marbles. Bag 3

has 45 red and 55 blue marbles. Now a bag is chosen at random and a marble is also picked at random. 1) What is the probability that the marble is blue? 2) What is the probability that the marble is blue when the first bag is chosen with probability 0.5 and other bags with equal probability each? Make sure to clearly define your probabilistic events and mathematically show how different probability laws and rules that you learned in class could be applied to solve the problems.

Answer:

0.4 ; 0.6125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Bag 1 : 75 red ; 25 blue

Bag 2: 60 red ; 40 blue

Bag 3: 45 red ; 55 blue

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

A) since the probability of choosing each bag is equal :

BAG A:

P(choosing bag A) = 1 / total number of bags = 1/3 ; P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 25/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 75/100) = 25/300

BAG B:

P(choosing bag B) = 1/3 ;

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 40/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 40/100) = 40/300

BAG C:

P(choosing bag C) = 1/3

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 55/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 55/100) = 55/300

= (25/300) × (40/300) × (55/300) = (25 + 40 + 55)/300 = 120/300 = 0.4

2) What is the probability that the marble is blue when the first bag is chosen with probability 0.5 and other bags with equal probability each?

BAG A:

P(choosing bag A) = 0.5 ; P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 25/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.5 × 75/100) = (0.5 * 0.75) = 0.375

BAG B:

P(choosing bag B) = (1-0.5) / 2 = 0.25 ;

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 40/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.25 × 40/100) = (0.25 × 0.4) = 0.1

BAG C:

P(choosing bag C) = (1 - (0.5+0.25)) = 0.25

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 55/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.25 × 55/100) = 0.25 × 0.55 = 0.1375

= 0.1375 + 0.1 + 0.375 = 0.6125

If f(x) = -3x + 4, find f(3x + 3)
Alex17521 [72]

Remark

What this is telling you to do is put 3x + 3 in the question wherever there was an x to start with.

Solution

f(x) = -3x + 4

f(3x + 3) = - 3(3x + 3) + 4

f(3x + 3) = -3*3x + (-3)*(3) + 4

f(3x + 3) = - 9x - 9 + 4

f(3x + 3) = -9x - 5 <<<<< Answer

Lines AD and BC are parallel.
allochka39001 [22]

*see attachment for the missing figure

Answer:

Angle ADE = 45°

Angle DAE = 30°

Angle DEA = 105°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since lines AD and BC are parallel, therefore:

Given that angle Angle CBE = 45°,

Angle ADE = Angle CBE (alternate interior angles are congruent)

Angle ADE = 45° (Substitution)

Angle DAE = Angle ACB (Alternate Interior Angles are congruent)

Angle ACB = 180 - 150 (angles on a straight line theorem)

Angle ACB = 30°

Since angle DAE = angle ACB, therefore:

Angle DAE = 30°

Angle DEA = 180 - (angle ADE + angle DAE) (Sum of angles in a triangle)

Angle DEA = 180 - (45 + 30) (Substitution)

Angle DEA = 180 - 75

Angle DEA = 105°
