to demonstrate probabilities, a mathematics teacher had students draw marbles from a bag which contained 6 yellow marbles and 10

blue marbles. During class, the bag was dropped and 2 yellow marbles and 3 blue marbles were lost. Explain whether the loss of marbles changes the probability of drawing a blue marble from the bag. Be sure to state whether the probability of choosing a blue marble stays the same, increase or decreases once the marbles were lost? Explain why you believe this.

4Okay, so here's how you will do the problem.

first lets find out how many marbles there are in total. At first, there are 16 marbles. (6 yellow + 10 blue)

knowing this
P(Yellow) = 6/16. that simplifies to 3/8
P(Blue) = 10/16. that simplifies to 5/8

We can tell these are correct because when added together the probabilities equal 1 (meaning there's no missing probabilities)

Now, 2 yellow marbles and 3 blue marbles are removed.

this means there are now 4 yellow marbles and 7 blue marbles. this brings the total amount of outcomes is 11.

Now
P(yellow) = 4/11
P(blue = 7/11

we can cross multiply or find out the decimal values and compare to find out if the two are equal

3/8.× 4/11
33........32

5/8 × 7/11
55....56

We will come back to what this shows us in a moment

yellow - .375 (3/8) > .36 repeated
blue - .625 (5/8) < .63 repeated

Both methods show that the probability CHANGED. So, YES the probabilities were affected.

in method one, the cross multiplying show that yellow probability goes down and blue probability goes up. Using the decimals shows the same

hope this helps!

Which justification describes the process?
tester [92]

Answer:

Option 1 - Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, 2 is subtracted from both sides of the equation.          

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Process

Step 1: 4x + 2 = 10

Step 2: 4x = 8

To find : Which justification describes the process?

Solution :

From step 1 to step 2, we subtract 2 both sides

Step 1: 4x + 2 = 10

Subtracting 2 both side,

⇒ 4x + 2-2 = 10-2

Step 2: 4x = 8

So, The best justification is 'Using the Subtraction Property of Equality, 2 is subtracted from both sides of the equation'.

Therefore, Option 1 is correct.

Janae found PointA located at ,(-2,5) and c is located at (6,1) . What would be the x coordinate of point b that bisects A and C
Alexxandr [17]

A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary  (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.

To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:

midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.

x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2

y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3


Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
