Answer:

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Red ball

Event B: From box A.

Probability of a red ball:

3/10 = 0.3 of 1/2 = 0.5(box A)

6/10 = 0.6 of 1/2 = 0.5(box B). So

P(A) = 0.3*0.5 + 0.6*0.5 = 0.45

Probability of a red ball from box A:

0.3 of 0.5, so:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.5 = 0.15

What is the probability that this red ball is from box A?

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.15}{0.45} = 0.3333

0.3333 = 33.33% probability that this red ball is from box A.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red balloons = 17

Number of purple balloons = 11

Number of orange balloons = 3

Number of green balloons = 1

Number of yellow balloons = 2

Total number of balloons = 34

The probability that a randomly selected balloon will be red will be:

= Number of red balloons/Total number of balloons

= 17/34

= 1/2

which are the triangles have the same size and shape, the corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent and the corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent.

<h3>What are congruent triangles?</h3>

Congruent triangles are triangles that have corresponding sides, angles which are all equal in measure.

They can be rotated and turned to be look be identical.

Thus, the statement which must be true are Options B, C and D

which are the triangles have the same size and shape, the corresponding sides of the triangles are congruent and the corresponding angles of the triangles are congruent.
