Answer:

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red = 5

White = 6

Black = 9

Required

The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced

The total number of ball is:

Total = 5 + 6 + 9

Total = 20

This is calculated as:

P(Same)=P(Red\ and\ Red) + P(White\ and\ White) + P(Black\ and\ Black)

So, we have:

P(Same)=\frac{n(Red)}{Total} * \frac{n(Red) - 1}{Total - 1} + \frac{n(White)}{Total} * \frac{n(White) - 1}{Total - 1}  + \frac{n(Black)}{Total} * \frac{n(Black) - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{5 - 1}{20- 1} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{6 - 1}{20- 1}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{9- 1}{20- 1}

P(Same)=\frac{5}{20} * \frac{4}{19} + \frac{6}{20} * \frac{5}{19}  + \frac{9}{20} * \frac{8}{19}

P(Same)=\frac{20}{380} + \frac{30}{380}  + \frac{72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{20+30+72}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{122}{380}

P(Same)=\frac{61}{190}

Answer:

The 2nd choice ( the one that starts with square root of 5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

I turned all of the choices into decimals so they had the same playing field then I put them from least to greatest and I got square root of five, 5/2, 2.717171717171, 2 and 3/4.

Taya2010 [7]

I will try my best to assist you with your question ,

First we must divide the amount by 2

334/2 = 167

Now we add 16

167 + 16=183

So, the girl spent $183

Wow, she is spoiled!

Hope I helped!

Good Luck!

Azul spun a tri-color spinner twice. What is the probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order?
guapka [62]

Answer:

The Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = 2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - Azul spun a tri-color spinner twice.

To find - What is the probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order?

Solution -

Given that,

A tri-color spinner spun twice

So,

The Sample Space, S = {BB, BG, BY, GB, GG, GY, YB, YG, YY}

⇒n(S) = 9

Now,

Let A be an event that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green

So,

A = {BG, GB}

⇒n(A) = 2

Now,

Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = n(A) ÷ n(S)

         = 2 ÷ 9

∴ we get

The Probability that the spinner landed on the colors blue and green in any order = 2/9

Can someone please help me with this last one. I am totally lost and don’t understand
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

g(-4) = -1

g(-1) = -1

g(1) = 3

Explanation:

If you are given a function that is defined by a system of equations associated with certain intervals of x, just find which interval makes x true, and then substitute x into the equation of that interval.

For example, given g(-4), this is an expression which is asking for the value of the equation when x = -4. So -4 is not ≥ 2, so ¼x - 1 will not be used. -4 is also not ≤ -1 and ≤ 2, so -(x - 1)² + 3 will not be used either. So in turn, we will just use -1 which is always -1 so g(-4) will just be -1, right because there is no x variable in -1 so it will always be the same.

Using the same idea as before g(-1) is g(x) when x = -1 so -1 will not be a solution because -1 is not less than -1 (< -1). -1 is not ≥ 2 either so we will be using the second equation because -1 is part of the interval -1≤x≤2 (it is a solution to this inequality), therefore -(x - 1)² + 3 will be used.

As x = -1, -(x - 1)² + 3 = -(-1 - 1)² + 3 = -(-2)² + 3 = -4 + 3 = -1.

It is a coincidence that g(-1) = -1.

Now for g(1), where g(x) has an input of 1 or the value of the function where x = 1, we will not use the first equation because x = 1 → x < -1 → 1 < -1 [this is false because 1 is never less than -1], so we will not use -1.

We will use -(x - 1)² + 3 again because 1 is not ≥ 2, 1≥2 [this is also false]. And -1 ≤ 1 < 2 [This is a true statement]. Therefore g(1) = -(1 - 1)² + 3 = -(0)² + 3 = 3
