Bill's golf bag contains 9 white golf balls, 6 yellow golf balls, 1 orange golf ball, and 1 pink golf ball. Without looking, Tim

is going to take 1 golf ball out of his bag to tee off with and a different golf ball out to putt with. What is the probability of Tim teeing off with a white ball and putting with an orange ball? P(white, then orange) Are the events above independent or dependent events?

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.0330 and the events are independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of balls in Bill's golf bag = 17

Let A be the event of drawing a white ball and B be the event of drawing an orange ball.

Number of white balls Bill has in his bag is 9.

Probability of the event A in the first draw = \frac{9}{17}

Number of orange ball in Bill's bag is 1.

Probability of event B in the second draw = \frac{1}{16}

Thus total probability for Tim to tee off with a white ball and putt with an orange ball = \frac{9}{272} = 0.0330

The above events are independent on each other.

Consider the following portion of an electric circuit with three relays. Current will flow from point a to point b if there is a
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

0.9009

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the event that Current will flow

Let Y be the event that the first relay which is 1 is closed

Thus, we can say that every element of Y is in X, but X possesses more elements. Thus, Y ⊂ X.

Thus, we can say that;

P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y)

Thus, given that current flowed, the probability that relay 1 functioned will be expressed as;

P(Y | X) = (P(Y ∩ X))/P(X)

From earlier, we saw that P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y). Thus;

P(Y | X) = P(Y)/P(X)

From the question, P(Y) = 0.9

Since there are 3 relays, then we have;

P(X) = 1 - 0.1³ = 0.999

Thus;

P(Y | X) = 0.9/0.999

P(Y | X) = 0.9009

The inequality 10.45b + 56.50 &lt; 292.67 is used to find the number of boxes (b) that can be loaded on a truck without exceedin
PSYCHO15rus [73]
We solve the inequality by subtracting 56.50 from both sides of the equation,
                                10.45b + 56.50 - 56.50 < 292.67 - 56.50 
                                        10.45b < 236.17
Then, divide both sides of the inequality by 10.45
                                             b < 22.6
The solution suggests that the number of boxes than can be loaded on a truck without exceeding the weight limit of the truck should always be lesser than 22.6. Since we are talking about number of boxes, the maximum number of boxes that can be loaded should only be 22.
