Given:

Total number of marbles in the bag = 150

There are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles.

To find:

The number of blue marbles in the bag.

Solution:

Since, there are 21 blue marbles for every 4 white marbles, therefore the ratio of blue marble to white marbles is 21:4.

Let the number of blue marbles be 21x and white marbles be 4x.

Total number of marbles in the bag = 150

21x+4x=150

25x=150

Divide both sides by 25.

x=\dfrac{150}{25}

x=6

Now,

\text{Blue marbles}=21x

\text{Blue marbles}=21(6)

\text{Blue marbles}=126

Therefore, the number of blue marbles is 126.

Let X be a discrete random variable with geometric distribution.
 Let x be the number of tests and p the probability of success in each trial, then the probability distribution is:
 P (X = x) = p * (1-p) ^ (x-1). With x = (1, 2, 3 ... n).
 This function measures the probability P of obtaining the first success at the x attempt.
 We need to know the probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial.
  Where a success is defined as a customer buying online.
 The probability of success in each trial is p = 0.3.
 So:
 P (X = 3) = 0.3 * (1-0.3) ^ (3-1)
 P (X = 3) = 0.147
 The probability of obtaining the first success at the third trial is 14.7%

Answer:

  -160

Step-by-step explanation:

  -15(10 2/3) = -15(10) +(-15)(2/3) = -150 -30/3 = -150 -10 = -160

The mixed number can be written as the sum of an integer and a fraction. The multiplier then multiplies the integer and the fraction separately, and the two products are added.

How do I do pre-Algebra???
Lana71 [14]

Hey there!

The main concept of pre-algebra is solving equations for variables in them.

For example, let's say you have the algebraic equation below.

x+1=3

With algebra, you need to figure what x is equal to. To do so, you will use inverse operations on both sides of the equation to isolate x one side, showing what it is equal to.

We would subtract 1 to both sides to isolate x on one side.

x+1-1=3-1

As you can see, +1-1=0, therefore, this would give us x+0, or just x. Now it is isolated and will show us what it is equal to.

x=3-1

x=2

Therefore, in our equation x+1=3, x would be equal to 2.

I hope this explanation helps! Have a great time here at Brainly!
