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

Write the equation in standard form<br><br> y = -10x + 6
Mumz [18]
Step (1) Flip the equation

−10x+6=y


Step (2) Add -6 to both sides

−10x+6+−6=y+−6

−10x=y−6

Step (3) Divide both sides by -10

−10x−10=y−6−10

ANSWER
x =  \frac{ - 1}{10} y +  \frac{3}{5}

I need help!<br> What is the value of t?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The t-value measures the size of the difference relative to the variation in your sample data. Put another way, T is simply the calculated difference represented in units of standard error. The greater the magnitude of T, the greater the evidence against the null hypothesis.
