Suppose that 3 balls will be randomly put into 3 buckets, with each ball being equally likely to be put into each of the buckets

, independently of which buckets are chosen for any of the other balls. (E.g., the first ball is equally likely to be put into any of the 3 buckets, and then regardless of which bucket the first ball is placed in, the second ball is equally likely to be put into any of the 3 buckets.) What is the probability that all of the balls will be put into the same bucket

Answer:

\frac{1}{27}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are a total of three buckets and only one can be chosen at a time, this would mean that the probability of a ball being placed in a bucket is 1/3. Since each ball has the same probability of being placed into any bucket regardless of the where the previous ball landed, it means that each ball has the same 1/3 probability of a bucket. In order to find the probability that all three land in the same bucket, we need to multiply this probability together for each one of the balls like so...

\frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{3}  = \frac{1}{27}

Finally, we see that the probability of all three balls landing in the same bucket is \frac{1}{27}

Answer:

11/8 or, 1 and 3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to make both the denominators the same. In this case, we can multiply 3/4 by 2, to make 4, the denominator, into 8. What we do to the denominator, we must do to the numerator! So, we multiply 3 by 2, and get 6!

Now we have, 5/8 + 6/8, which equals 11/8! Which can also be simplified to 1 and 3/8 (because the numerator is larger than the denominator)

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

3¼

Step-by-step explanation:

formula \frac{{y}^{2} - {y}^{1}  }{ {x}^{2} -  {x}^{1}  }

We take any of the two points shown in the question. I will take (-3, 1) and (1, 14).

x¹ = -3

y¹ = 1

x² = 1

y² = 14

Now, we sub these figures into the formula.

\frac{14 - 1}{1 - ( - 3)}

This leaves us with 14-1/1+3, which we can make into 13/4

13/4 = 3¼
