There are 3 bags each containing 100 marbles. Bag 1 has 75 red and 25 blue marbles. Bag 2 has 60 red and 40 blue marbles. Bag 3

jekas [21]

Answer:

0.4 ; 0.6125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Bag 1 : 75 red ; 25 blue

Bag 2: 60 red ; 40 blue

Bag 3: 45 red ; 55 blue

Probability = (required outcome / Total possible outcomes)

A) since the probability of choosing each bag is equal :

BAG A:

P(choosing bag A) = 1 / total number of bags = 1/3 ; P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 25/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 75/100) = 25/300

BAG B:

P(choosing bag B) = 1/3 ;

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 40/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 40/100) = 40/300

BAG C:

P(choosing bag C) = 1/3

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 55/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (1/3 × 55/100) = 55/300

= (25/300) × (40/300) × (55/300) = (25 + 40 + 55)/300 = 120/300 = 0.4

2) What is the probability that the marble is blue when the first bag is chosen with probability 0.5 and other bags with equal probability each?

BAG A:

P(choosing bag A) = 0.5 ; P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 25/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.5 × 75/100) = (0.5 * 0.75) = 0.375

BAG B:

P(choosing bag B) = (1-0.5) / 2 = 0.25 ;

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 40/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.25 × 40/100) = (0.25 × 0.4) = 0.1

BAG C:

P(choosing bag C) = (1 - (0.5+0.25)) = 0.25

P(choosing blue marble) = number of blue marbles / total number of marbles = 55/100

HENCE, choosing a blue marble from bag A : = (0.25 × 55/100) = 0.25 × 0.55 = 0.1375

= 0.1375 + 0.1 + 0.375 = 0.6125

The cash drawer of the market contains $227. There are six more $5 bills than $10 bills. The number of $1 bills is two more than

k0ka [10]

Answer:

There are 122 one dollar bills, 11 five dollar bills and 5 ten dollar bills.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are bills of one dollar, five dollars and ten dollars on the cash drawer, therefore the sum of all of them multiplied by their respective values must be equal to the total amount of money on the drawer. We will call the number of one dollar bills, five dollar bills and ten dollar bills, respectively "x","y" and "z", therefore we can create the following expression:

$x + 5*y + 10*z = 227$

We know that there are six more 5 dollar bills than 10 dollar bills and that the number of 1 dollar bills is two more than 24 times the number of 10 dollar bills, therefore:

$y = z + 6\\x = 2 + 24*z$
