Answer: 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that annie picks a duck Pt= the probability of picking a duck without accounting for the added one (Po)+ probability of picking the added bird and it's a duck(Pi)

Pt = Po+Pi

Since the total number of birds in the right pond is 10 after the addition of one by john

Po= 4/10

Pi= the of john adding a duck × the probability of annie picking the added bird

Pi= 4/9 × 1/10

Pi = 4/90

Pt= 4/10 + 4/90

Pt = (36+4)/90

Pt=40/90

Pt= 4/9

(This implies that the probability of picking a duck remain the same even after the addition of one bird from the left ponds because they both have equal proportions of duck and geese i.e the initial number of duck and geese in both right and left ponds are 4 and 5 respectively)

Thanks.

denny can deliver 6 papers every 15 minutes and brendan can deliver 5 papers in that same amount of time. how many papers can th
Evgesh-ka [11]

So for this problem you know that 15 is 1/4 of an hour so to get the amount of papers each individual could deliver by themselves in an hour you would multiply the amount they can deliver in 15 minutes by 4. Denny delivers 6 so multiplying that by 4 is 24. Next Brendan delivers 5 in 15 minutes so multiplying that by 4 you get 20. The final step is to add 20 and 24 to get the total amount of papers between the two of them that gets delivered in an hour. This will result in your answer of 44.
