A box contains four blue and eight red balls. Jim and Jack start drawing balls from the box, respectively, one at a time, at ran

dom, and without replacement until a blue ball is drawn. What is the probability that Jack draws the blue ball?

Answer:

the probability that Jack draws the blue ball is 0.38539

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

box contains

blue balls = 5

red balls = 8

Jim and Jack start drawing balls from the box, respectively, one at a time, at random, and without replacement

Now,

on the first attempted;

⇒ ( 8/13) × ( 5/12) = 10/39  

on the second attempt;

⇒ ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) = 14/143

on the third attempt;

⇒ ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) ( 4/9 ) ( 5/8 ) = 35/1287

on the fourth attempt;

⇒  ( 8/13 ) ( 7/12) ( 6/11 ) ( 5/10 ) ( 4/9 ) ( 3/8 ) ( 2/7 ) ( 5/6 ) = 5/1287

so we add everything;  

⇒ 10/39 + 14/143 + 35/1287 + 5/1287

= 0.38539

Therefore, the probability that Jack draws the blue ball is 0.38539

Round to the nearest tenth 6.2x+1.2=8.9
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

x = 1.2...

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the given equation and isolate the variable.

6.2x + 1.2 = 8.9

Subtract 1.2 from each side:

6.2x = 7.7

Divide each side by 6.2:

x = 1.2...

Lines AC←→ and DB←→ intersect at point W. Also, m∠DWC=138° .
mr_godi [17]

m∠DWC=138°, ∠AWB = 138°, ∠AWD = 42°, ∠BWC = 42°

Solution:

Line \overrightarrow{A C} \text { and } \overrightarrow{B D} intersect at a point W.

Given m \angle D W C=138^{\circ}.

<em>Vertical angle theorem:</em>

<em>If two lines intersect at a point then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>

<u>To find the measure of all the angles:</u>

∠AWB and ∠DWC are vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, ∠AWB = ∠DWC

⇒ ∠AWB = 138°

Sum of all the angles in a straight line = 180°

⇒ ∠AWD + ∠DWC = 180°

⇒ ∠AWD + 138° = 180°

⇒ ∠AWD = 180° – 138°

⇒ ∠AWD = 42°

Since ∠AWD and ∠BWC are vertically opposite angles.

Therefore, ∠AWD = ∠BWC

⇒ ∠BWC = 42°

Hence the measure of the angles are

m∠DWC=138°, ∠AWB = 138°, ∠AWD = 42°, ∠BWC = 42°.

F almonds sell for $1.20 per pound, and walnuts sell for $.75 per pound, how many pounds of each must be used to make 45 pounds
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) let x be the the number of pounds of almonds

ii) let y be the number of pounds of walnuts

iii) therefore x + y = 45 pounds of the mixture

iv) 1.2x + 0.75y = 1.00 \times 45 = 45

v) Multipling equation in iv) by 4 we get

  4.8x + 3y = 180

vi) multiplying equation in iii) by 3 we get

     3x + 3y = 135

vii) subtracting equation vi) from equation v)  we get 1.8x = 45

ix) therefore we get x = 45/1.8 = 25 pounds of almonds

x) therefore 25 + y = 45  .... substituting value of x from ix) in iii) we get

   therefore y = 20 pounds of walnuts

Therefore option A.) 20 pounds of walnuts and 25 pounds of almonds is correct.

The given values are discrete. Use the continuity correction and describe the region of the normal distribution that corresponds
Lerok [7]

Answer:

P_B(X\leq35)=P_N(X

Step-by-step explanation:

If we approximate the binomial distribution with a normal distribution, we have to apply a correction factor for the fact that we are now dealing with a continuous variable instead of a discrete one, as it was with the binomial distribution.

The probability of no more than 35 defective CDs: P(X<35)

In this case, as X=35 is not included in the interval, we start the interval from X=35-0.5=34.5.

P_B(X\leq35)=P_N(X

being Pb the probability under the binomial distribution and Pn the probability under the normal distribution.

The area for the normal distribution is the one below X=34 (or P(X<34)).
