Answer:
1 ; 7 /17
Step-by-step explanation:
17 balls numbered 1 through 17
Picking without replacement :
If the second ball picked = 4
P(first ball has a smaller number)
Numbers less Than = (3, 2, 1)
P(number less than second ball Given 4 is drawn for second ball) :
= (3/17 * 1/16) ÷ (3/17 * 1/16) +) 14/17 * 0)
= (3 / 272) / (3 /272) * 0
= 3 / 272 * 272 / 3
= 1
2.)
(8/17 * 7/8) ÷ (8/17 * 7/8) + (9/17 * 1/17)
7/17 ÷ (7 /17) + 10/17
7 /17 ÷ 17/17
7/17 ÷ 1
7 /17
Answer:
a = 1/8
b = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
a (1/2) ^3 = (1/2) *(1/2) * (1/2) = 1/8
b( 1/2 ) ^ -3 The negative exponent means 1 / (1/2)^3 = 1/ (1/8) = 8
