Answer:

a) 0.0023

b) 0.007

c) 0.993

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of marbles are;

5 + 10 = 15

Probability of red = 5/15

Probability of white = 8/15

Probability of 4 being red means, 4 will be white too;

Thus, the probability without replacement will be;

5/15 * 4/14 * 3/13 * 2/12 * 10/11 * 9/10 * 8/9 * 7/8 =

0.002331002331 which is approximately 0.0023

b. All white

Here, we have all the marbles selected being white

Thus the probability without replacement will be;

10/15 * 9/14 * 8/13 * 7/12 * 6/11 * 5/10 * 4/9 * 3/8

= 0.006993006993 which is approximately 0.007

c. At least one will be red

Mathematically, that will be;

1 - p(no red)

p(no red) = p(all white)

P(all white) = 0.007

hence P(no red) = 0.007

P(at least one red) = 1 - 0.007 = 0.993

PLEASE HELPPP!!! Which expression is equivalent to sum of quantity negative three and one third times n plus one sixth end quant
uranmaximum [27]

The given expression is equivalent to the expression - 11/6 n - 1/12. Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is Algebra?</h3>

The analysis of mathematical representations is algebra, and the handling of those symbols is logic.

The sum of capacity minus three and one-third times n plus one-sixth ended capacity + capacity one and three-sixths times n minus three-twelfths end quantity.

Let n be the number. Then the expression will be

⇒ -(3  1/3)n + 1/6 + (1  3/6)n - 3/12

Simplify the equation, then we have

⇒ -(3  1/3)n + 1/6 + (1  3/6)n - 3/12

⇒ -10/3 n + 3/2 n + 1/6 - 1/4

⇒ -11/6 n - 1/12

The given expression is equivalent to the expression - 11/6 n - 1/12. Then the correct option is C.

Leo wants to paint a mural that covers a wall with an area of 300 square feet. The height of the wall is 1/3 of its length. What
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Length = 30

Height = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for the area = height * length. We know that the height of the wall is 1/3 of its length. This gives us another formula which is  h=\frac{1}{3} l

Now substitute this into the formula, while knowing that the area is 300.

So we have 300 = \frac{1}{3}l * l

Solving for l gives us 30 and then substituting it back into the equation

h = \frac{1}{3} l, will give us that the height is 10.

Hope this helps
