Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given



Required
The probability of selecting 2 same colors when the first is not replaced
The total number of ball is:


This is calculated as:

So, we have:

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






Required expression is x/9 - 7
We write it out as an equation:
-1 = -2v + 2/3
Rearrange:
-1 -2/3 = -2v
Multiply by negative to equal positive
1 2/3 = 2v
Make 1 into a fraction
3/3 + 2/3 = 2v
5/3 = 2v
10/6 = 2v
5/6 = v
The answer is: v equals 5/6
Answer:
<em>Most likely time, </em>according to PERT (Program evaluation and review technique).
Step-by-step explanation:
PERT is "a statistical tool used in <em>project management" (Program evaluation and review technique (2020), </em>in Wikipedia), and it is commonly used with CPM <em>(Critical Path Method)</em> to manage projects.
Inside PERT, there are different defined times to accomplished an activity in a project, that is:
- An <em>optimistic time</em> or minimum time required to accomplished an activity, i.e., if everything goes better than normal, the activity is accomplished before expected.
- A <em>pessimistic time, </em>a time quite the opposite to optimistic time.
- A <em>most likely time</em>, or a time required to accomplished an activity if everything goes as expected or normally.
- An <em>expected time</em>, an statistical estimation.
Considering the question, we have that the <em>time</em> when "the first module of the project could be completed":
- "[...] in as few as 15 days" is the <em>optimistic time</em>.
- "[...] or could take as many as 25 days" is the <em>pessimistic time</em>.
- "[...] but most likely will require 20 days" is the <em>most likely time</em>.
As a result, the <em>20-day estimate</em> is called the <em>most likely time</em> in the context of the PERT/CPM techniques.
-9(2)+4=-16 you do -9 times 2 which is -18 then you subtract that to 4 which you get -16. hope this helps!
