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.

Arada [10]

Answer:

A number cubed plus a 3 times a number squared all multiplied by 2 is equal to 4 times a number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we can't say "in parenthesis", we will have to say the expressions in the parenthesis first and then say "all multiplied by 2" to express parenthesis in word form. The rest are pretty straight forward.

A won a race at the local fair by running 10.5 miles in exactly 2 hours. At this constant​ rate, how long does it take the same
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The dog will run the 21-mile race in 4.04 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing we need to do is find out how far he ran the race at the local fair in 1 hour.

To do this, we can set up a simple relationship:

If he ran 10.5 miles in 2 hours,

He will run x miles in 1 hour

Cross multiplying, we have

x = (10.5 X 1)/2 = 5.25 miles in 1 hour.

We can now comfortably say that he runs at the rate of 5.2miles/hr

He now goes to the state fair race, which is 21 miles long.

if he runs at the rate of 5.2 miles in 1 hour,

He will run 21 miles in y hours

y = 21 / 5.2 = 4.04 hours

The dog will run the 21-mile race in 4.04 hours
