On a store counter are exactly two boxes containing only purple marbles and yellow marbles. Box A has 30 purple marbles and 20 y

klemol [59]

Answer: Our required probability would be 0.35.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of boxes = 2

Number of purple marbles in Box A = 30

Number of yellow marbles in Box A = 20

Number of purple marbles in Box B = 15

Number of yellow marbles in Box B = 35

So, If Melanie randomly selects one of the boxes and then randomly selects one marble from that box.

Probability that the marble selected will be purple is given by

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{20}{50}+\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{15}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{20+15}{50})\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{35}{50}\\\\=\dfrac{35}{100}\\\\=0.35$

Hence, our required probability would be 0.35.

Q.16 please<br> With steps

blsea [12.9K]

The equations

$2x^2+9x-5=0$

and

$2\left(t-\dfrac12\right)^2+9\left(t-\dfrac12\right)-5=0$

are really the same, we're just setting $x=t-\dfrac12$ , or $t=x+\dfrac12$ .

$2x^2+9x-5=(2x-1)(x+5)=0\implies x=\dfrac12,x=-5$

So we get

$t=\dfrac12+\dfrac12=1,t=-5+\dfrac12=-\dfrac92$
