1) Our marbles will be blue, red, and green. You need two fractions that can be multiplied together to make 1/6. There are two sets of numbers that can be multiplied to make 6: 1 and 6, and 2 and 3. If you give the marbles a 1/1 chance of being picked, then there's no way that a 1/6 chance can be present So we need to use a 1/3 and a 1/2 chance. 2 isn't a factor of 6, but 3 is. So we need the 1/3 chance to become apparent first. Therefore, 3 of the marbles will need to be one colour, to make a 1/3 chance of picking them out of the 9. So let's say 3 of the marbles are green. So now you have 8 marbles left, and you need a 1/2 chance of picking another colour. 8/2 = 4, so 4 of the marbles must be another colour, to make a 1/2 chance of picking them. So let's say 4 of the marbles are blue. We know 3 are green and 4 are blue, 3 + 4 is 7, so the last 2 must be red.
The problem could look like this:
A bag contains 4 blue marbles, 2 red marbles, and 3 green marbles. What are the chances she will pick 1 blue and 1 green marble?
You should note that picking the blue first, then the green, will make no difference to the overall probability, it's still 1/6. Don't worry, I checked
2) a - 2% as a probability is 2/100, or 1/50. The chance of two pudding cups, as the two aren't related, both being defective in the same packet are therefore 1/50 * 1/50, or 1/2500.
b - 1,000,000/2500 = 400
400 packages are defective each year
Answer:
This season
Step-by-step explanation:
Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of 20 and 25 = 100
10/20 * 5/5 = 50/100 = 5/10
15/25 * 4/4 = 60/100 = 6/10
5/10 < 6/10
10 (13) 15
35 (37) 40
45 (48) 50
60 (61) 65
90 (93) 95
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use those points to find the slope
use the equation
then plug in the numbers
so (1-1)/(-8-7) = 0/15 so the slope is zero meaning it is a horizontal line which we can tell logically because the y coordinates of both points are 1.
so if you plug those numbers into the formula y=mx+b where m is slope and b is the y intercept then
you get y=0*x+1
then 0*x is just zero and it goes away so the equation for this line is y=1
Hope this helps! :)
