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

- a(-4-5a) - 3a(2 + a) =
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

(−a)(−4 − 5a) − 3a(2 + a)

Distribute:

= (−a)(−4) + (−a)(−5a) + −3a^2 + −6a

= 4a + 5a^2 + −3a^2 + −6a

Combine Like Terms:

= 4a+5a^2 + −3a^2+ −6a

= (5a2+ −3a^2) + (4a + −6a)

= 2a2 + −2a

Final Answer:

= 2a^2−2a!

The angles in a triangle are in the ratio 1:2:3 a) Show that the triangle is a right -angled triangle b) The hypotenuse of the t
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

8.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles of the triangle:

  • x+2x+3x= 180
  • 6x= 180
  • x= 30
  • 30°, 60° and 90°

Right triangle as it has 90° angle

Sides are a, b and 19 cm

  • sin 30°= a/19 ⇒ a= 19 sin 30°= 19*0.5= 8.5 cm  = shortest side
  • sin 60°= b/19 ⇒ b= 19 sin 60°= 19*0.866= 16.45 cm
