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

Need to find shaded area of figure please help!
devlian [24]

Answer:

39 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the triangle and subtract the area of the square.

area of triangle = bh/2

area of square = s^2

shaded area = bh/2 - s^2

shaded area = (20 ft)(16 ft)/2 - (11 ft)^2

shaded area = 160 ft^2 - 121 ft^2

shaded area = 39 ft^2

The y-value is ten decreased by the square of the x-value
Rufina [12.5K]

answer:

y = 10 - x²

step-by-step explanation:

the y value is means the y value is equal to meaning the first part of our equation is y =

10 decreased means 10 minus so the next part of our equation is y = 10 -

the square of the x value means x squared so the last part of our equation is y = 10 - x²
