Answer:
A) The best way to picture this problem is with a probability tree, with two steps.
The first branch, the person can choose red or blue, being 2 out of five (2/5) the chances of picking a red marble and 3 out of 5 of picking a blue one.
The probabilities of the second pick depends on the first pick, because it only can choose of what it is left in the urn.
If the first pick was red marble, the probabilities of picking a red marble are 1 out of 4 (what is left of red marble out of the total marble left int the urn) and 3 out of 4 for the blue marble.
If the first pick was the blue marble, there is 2/4 of chances of picking red and 2/4 of picking blue.
B) So a person can have a red marble and a blue marble in two ways:
1) Picking the red first and the blue last
2) Picking the blue first and the red last
C) P(R&B) = 3/5 = 60%
Step-by-step explanation:
C) P(R&B) = P(RB) + P(BR) = (2/5)*(3/4) + (3/5)*(2/4) = 3/10 + 3/10 = 3/5
You have to make a tape diagram and divide it in to 9 parts because it is 5 out of 9 then you will make a bracket pointing to only 4 parts of the tape diagram then you do 36/9 and it will equal 4 so put 4 in to each part and so 4 x 4 is 16 so the answer is 16 people prefer historical books
Answer:
1/6561
Step-by-step explanation:
3^-2 = 1/9
1/9^4 = 1/6561
You can simply collect terms, subtract the constant and divide by the x-coefficient. It is generally considered easier to do those steps if you eliminate fractions first (multiply by 12).
Multiply by 12
... 4(x -1) +3(x +5) = 6
... 4x -4 +3x +15 = 6 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
... 7x +11 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .collect terms
... 7x = -5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract the constant 11
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

Here it is the other way.
... x(1/3 +1/4) +(-1/3 +5/4) = 1/2
... (7/12)x + 11/12 = 1/2 . . add the fractions to finish collecting terms
... x + 11/7 = 6/7 . . . . . . . multiply by 12/7
... x = -5/7 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 11/7
At the third step here, you could subtract 11/12 before doing the multiply. You get the same answer, but you have to do the extra conversion of 1/2=6/12.
