Answer:

31%

Step-by-step explanation:

the sum total of all marbles at the beginning is 8+(9+9)=26

the probability of picking a red marble at this point is p(1)=(8/26)

now 25 marbles remain, the distribution is now 8+17=25

the probability of picking a red marble at this point is p(2)=(8/25)

now 24 marbles remain, the distribution is now 8+16=24

the probability of picking a red marble at this point is p(3)=(8/24)

it follows that the remaining probabilities are for "not picking a red marble".

these probabilities are 1-p([1;2;3]).

Probabilities are multiplicative.

The probability for 3 consecutive non-red draws is then given by:

(1-8/26)*(1-8/25)*(1-8/24) = 103/325 | that's roughly 31%

not 100% sure!

A conical water tank with vertex down has a radius of 13 feet at the top and is 21 feet high. If water flows into the tank at a
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

\frac{dh}{dt}\approx0.08622\text{ ft/min}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the conical water tank has a radius of 13 feet and is 21 feet high.

We also know that water is flowing into the tank at a rate of 30ft³/min. In other words, our derivative of the volume with respect to time t is:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{30\text{ ft}^3}{\text{min}}

We want to find how fast the depth of the water is increasing when the water is 17 feet deep. So, we want to find dh/dt.

First, remember that the volume for a cone is given by the formula:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h

We want to find dh/dt. So, let's take the derivative of both sides with respect to the time t. However, first, let's put the equation in terms of h.

We can see that we have two similar triangles. So, we can write the following proportion:

\frac{r}{h}=\frac{13}{21}

Multiply both sides by h:

r=\frac{13}{21}h

So, let's substitute this in r:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{13}{21}h)^2h

Square:

V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (\frac{169}{441}h^2)h

Simplify:

V=\frac{169}{1323}\pi h^3

Now, let's take the derivative of both sides with respect to t:

\frac{d}{dt}[V]=\frac{d}{dt}[\frac{169}{1323}\pi h^3}]

Simplify:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{169}{1323}\pi \frac{d}{dt}[h^3}]

Differentiate implicitly. This yields:

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{169}{1323}\pi (3h^2)\frac{dh}{dt}

We want to find dh/dt when the water is 17 feet deep. So, let's substitute 17 for h. Also, let's substitute 30 for dV/dt. This yields:

30=\frac{169}{1323}\pi (3(17)^2)\frac{dh}{dt}

Evaluate:

30=\frac{146523}{1323}\pi( \frac{dh}{dt})

Multiply both sides by 1323:

39690=146523\pi\frac{dh}{dt}

Solve for dh/dt:

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{39690}{146523}\pi

Use a calculator. So:

\frac{dh}{dt}\approx0.08622\text{ ft/min}

The water is rising at a rate of approximately 0.086 feet per minute.

And we're done!

The variable z is inversely proportional to x. When x is 3, z has the value 2.
kirill [66]

Answer:

  z = 6/13

Step-by-step explanation:

The new value of x is 13/3 times the old value. Since z is inversely proportional to x, it will be multiplied by the inverse of that, 3/13.

  2 × 3/13 = 6/13 . . . . value of z when x=13

What is the range of a function 2x-1=y if the domain is {-1, 0, 2}?
Blizzard [7]
The answer is the 3rd dot : (-3,-1,3) you just need to plug the values of the domain into the equation to get the range, range are the y values.
