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

rusak2 [61]
1. The answer is two because if you factor what you can from the equation and then simplify, you are left with 2v+16=(v+8)(?), and by looking at it, the correct answer is two, or A. Review your work, make sure to check your answers before submitting
2. Since two simple factors of 8 are 4 and 2, and they add up to 6, the correct answer is (x+4)(x+2), or B
3. Again, two simple factors of 12 are -4 and -3, so the correct answer is (x-3)(x-4), or D
4. Basically, just factor the quadratic trinomial g^2-2g-24, which turns out to (G+4)(g-6), which is B

4c+3d+f c=5 3=d f=-2
ratelena [41]

Hey there!

• If c = 5; d = 3; f = –2, then SUBSTITUTE it for their values !

• 4(5) + 3(3) + (–2)

4(5) = 20

• 20 + 3(3) + (–2)

3(3) = 9

• 20 + 9 + (–2)

20 + 9 = 29

• 29 + (–2)

➡️ 29 – 2 = 27

Answer: 27 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
