You play the following game against your friend. You have 2 urns and 4 balls One of the balls is black and the other 3 are white
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

Part a: <em>The case in such a way that the chances are minimized so the case is where all the four balls are in 1 of the urns the probability of her winning is least as 0.125.</em>

Part b: <em>The case in such a way that the chances are maximized so the case  where the black ball is in one of the urns and the remaining 3 white balls in the second urn than, the probability of her winning is maximum as 0.5.</em>

Part c: <em>The minimum and maximum probabilities of winning  for n number of balls are  such that </em>

  • <em>when all the n balls are placed in one of the urns the probability of the winning will be least as 1/2n</em>
  • <em>when the black ball is placed in one of the urns and the n-1 white balls are placed in the second urn the probability is maximum, as 0.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose there are two urns A and A'. The event of selecting a urn is given as A thus the probability of this is given as

P(A)=P(A')=0.5

Now the probability of finding the black ball is given as

P(B)=P(B∩A)+P(P(B∩A')

P(B)=(P(B|A)P(A))+(P(B|A')P(A'))

Now there can be four cases as follows

Case 1: When all the four balls are in urn A and no ball is in urn A'

so

P(B|A)=0.25 and P(B|A')=0 So the probability of black ball is given as

P(B)=(0.25*0.5)+(0*0.5)

P(B)=0.125;

Case 2: When the black ball is in urn A and 3 white balls are in urn A'

so

P(B|A)=1.0 and P(B|A')=0 So the probability of black ball is given as

P(B)=(1*0.5)+(0*0.5)

P(B)=0.5;

Case 3: When there is 1 black ball  and 1 white ball in urn A and 2 white balls are in urn A'

so

P(B|A)=0.5 and P(B|A')=0 So the probability of black ball is given as

P(B)=(0.5*0.5)+(0*0.5)

P(B)=0.25;

Case 4: When there is 1 black ball  and 2 white balls in urn A and 1 white ball are in urn A'

so

P(B|A)=0.33 and P(B|A')=0 So the probability of black ball is given as

P(B)=(0.33*0.5)+(0*0.5)

P(B)=0.165;

Part a:

<em>As it says the case in such a way that the chances are minimized so the case is case 1 where all the four balls are in 1 of the urns the probability of her winning is least as 0.125.</em>

Part b:

<em>As it says the case in such a way that the chances are maximized so the case is case 2 where the black ball is in one of the urns and the remaining 3 white balls in the second urn than, the probability of her winning is maximum as 0.5.</em>

Part c:

The minimum and maximum probabilities of winning  for n number of balls are  such that

  • when all the n balls are placed in one of the urns the probability of the winning will be least given as

P(B|A)=1/n and P(B|A')=0 So the probability of black ball is given as

P(B)=(1/n*1/2)+(0*0.5)

P(B)=1/2n;

  • when the black ball is placed in one of the urns and the n-1 white balls are placed in the second urn the probability is maximum, equal to calculated above and is given as

P(B|A)=1/1 and P(B|A')=0 So the probability of black ball is given as

P(B)=(1/1*1/2)+(0*0.5)

P(B)=0.5;

Why can you use fraction multiplication to check the answer to a fraction division problem? How do you use multiplication to che
erica [24]
Fraction division is basically multiplication of a reciprocal.

For example (1/4)/(1/8) = (1/4)x(8/1)=2

Multiplication of the answer and the piece that divides (in this case 2 x 1/8), you should get the piece that is being divided (in this case 1/4). If that is correct, then your division is correct.

Identity the composite number represented by the prime factorization below
Korolek [52]

Answer:look below

Step-by-step explanation: The prime factorization of number is the break down into factors which are prime numbers (numbers without factors except 1 and itself). The factors 22 and 32 are composite numbers since they have more than 1 and itself as factors. They are not prime.

However, the factorization of 22 * 32 * 5 will equal a number. 22*32*5 = 3, 520. But it does not match the solutions given.

Clark has a box of nickels and dimes that totals $1.90. there are a total of 27 coins. how many nickels and dimes does he have?
Andrej [43]
$0.05(n) + $0.10(d) = $1.90
n + d = 27
n + d - d =27 - d
n = 27 - d

$0.05(27-d) + $0.10(d) = $1.90
1.35 - 0.05d + 0.10d = $1.90
1.35 +0.05d = $1.90
1.35 - 1.35 +0.05d = $1.90 -1.35
0.05d = 0.55
0.05d/0.05 = 0.55/0.05
d = 11

n = 27 - 11
n = 16

$0.05(16) + $0.10(11) = $1.90
$0.80 + $1.10 = $1.90
$1.90 = $1.90

soldier1979 [14.2K]
If we know that Laura's canvas is square, and one side is 22cm,

area of a square is l*w, with a special case of l=w

 the area will be
A= l*w=22*22=484cm^2

also, Asquare is=l^2
