Answer:

16.67% probability of getting 2 blues

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the marbles are selected is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

What is the probability of getting 2 blues?

Desired outcomes:

Two blue marbles, from a set of 4.

D = C_{4,2} = \frac{4!}{2!(4-2)!} = 6

Total outcomes:

Two marbles, from a set of 9.

T = C_{9,2} = \frac{9!}{2!(9-2)!} = 36

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{6}{36} = 0.1667

16.67% probability of getting 2 blues

How do you ungroup a 3 digit number? My nephew is working on his homework and I have no clue how to help him.
Talja [164]

In monetary terms, you're making change. If you need more ones, you trade one 10 for 10 ones.

When I was in school, many years ago, we used small superscript-type numbers to show this:

  7 3 0 ⇒ 7 2 ¹0 . . . . regrouping to gain 10 ones

  7 2 ¹0 ⇒ 6 ¹2 ¹0 . . .regrouping again to gain 10 more tens

You'd have to look at the example problems that precede this page in order to see what the meaning of "magnifying glass" is.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 4

Plugin x = 3 in the equation,

y = 3*3 + 4

 = 9 + 4

y = 13

Plugin x = 4 in equation,

y = 3*4 + 4

  = 12 + 4

y = 16

Plugin x = 5 in the equation,

y = 3*5 + 4

  = 15 + 4

y = 19

2) y =x - 7

Plugin x = 10 in the equation

y = 10 - 7

y = 3

Plugin x = 15 in the equation

y = 15 - 7

y = 8

Plugin x = 20 in the equation

y = 20 - 7

y = 13
