Answer:

0.0023 = 0.23% probability that all 5 balls selected will be the same color

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the balls are selected is not important, which means that the combinations formula is used to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

Either 5 amber from a set of 6, or 5 blue from a set of 5. So

D = C_{6,5} + C_{5,5} = \frac{6!}{5!1!} + \frac{5!}{5!0!} = 6 + 1 = 7

Total outcomes:

5 balls selected from a set of 6 + 5 + 4 = 15. So

T = C_{15,5} = \frac{15!}{5!10!} = 3003

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{7}{3003} = 0.0023

0.0023 = 0.23% probability that all 5 balls selected will be the same color

if the area of a square is 144 feet and the perimeter of the triangle is 28 feet, what is the perimeter of the room's floor?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

52+12\pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram for the question is attached below

perimeter of the triangle is 28 feet

area of a square is 144 feet

Area of the square is side^2

side ^2= 144

take square root on both sides

side = 12

side of the square = 12

side is the diameter of the semicircle

Diameter = 12 , so radius = 12 divide 2 = 6

circumference of semicircle = 2\pi r=2\pi (6)=12\pi

one side of the rectangle is calculated in the perimeter of triangle and other side is calculated using circumference

perimeter of other two side = 2(12)= 24

Total perimeter = 28+24+12\pi =52+12\pi

Solve the inequality below. Use the drop-down menus to describe the solution and its greah
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The solution of the inequality is x ≤ -4. A graph of the solution should have a vertical line passing through x = -4 and be shaded to the left of x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-7x + 13 ≥ 41

Subtract 13 from both sides

-7x ≥ 28

Dividing both sides by the -7 changes the inequality sign and we have

x ≤ -4

Hence, the solution of the inequality is x ≤ -4 and the graph of the solution should have a vertical line passing through x = -4 and it should be shaded to the left of x = -4 indicating that only numbers less than or equal to -4 are possible solutions of the inequality.

Hope this Helps!!!
