Answer:

27.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement tells us that we have 5 red balls and 6 blue balls, that is, there are 11 in total (5 + 6)

So the probability of red balls = 5/11 and blue balls probability = 6/11

Let X be the number of red balls of those 5 selected balls.

 Then X follows a binomial distribution with the following parameters:

n = 5

p = 5/11

q = 6/11

P (X) = nCx * p ^ (x) * q ^ (n -x)

required probability is P (X = 3), replacing:

P (X = 3) = 5C3 * (5/11) ^ (3) * (6/11) ^ (5 -3)

P (X = 3) = 5! / (3! (5-3)!) * 0.02794

P (X = 3) = 10 * 0.02794

P (X = 3) = 0.2794

Which means that the probability is 27.94%

RIDDLE ME THIS Fresh and invigorated after completing her algebra homework, Mimi appeared at the living room door. She held a pi
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Mimi is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up two equations, and solve by elimination.

 2(m+5) = d+5

- 3(m-5) =  d-5

_____________

2(m+5) - 3(m-5) = 10

2m + 10 - 3m + 15 = 10

-m + 25 = 10

-m = -15

<u>m = 15</u>

Plug this back in to get dad's age.

2(m+5) = d+5

2(15+5) = d + 5

2(20) = d + 5

40 = d + 5

<u>d = 35</u>

<u></u>
