A bag contains 4 blue marbles and 2 yellow marbles. Two marbles are randomly chosen (the first marble is NOT replaced before dra

wing the second one). What is the probability that both marbles are blue? What is the probability that both marbles are yellow? What is the probability of one blue and then one yellow? If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, what is the probability that both are blue?

Answer:

0.4 = 40% probability that both marbles are blue.

0.0667 = 6.67% probability that both marbles are yellow.

53.33% probability of one blue and then one yellow

If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, 0.8571 = 85.71% probability that both are blue

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand conditional probability(for the final question) and the hypergeometric distribution(for the first three, because the balls are chosen without being replaced).

Hypergeometric distribution:

The probability of x sucesses is given by the following formula:

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

In which:

x is the number of sucesses.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

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)!}

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

What is the probability that both marbles are blue?

4 + 2 = 6 total marbles, which means that N = 6

4 blue, which means that k = 4

Sample of 2, which means that n = 2

This is P(X = 2). So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 2) = h(2,6,2,4) = \frac{C_{4,2}*C_{2,0}}{C_{6,2}} = 0.4

0.4 = 40% probability that both marbles are blue

What is the probability that both marbles are yellow?

4 + 2 = 6 total marbles, which means that N = 6

2 yellow, which means that k = 2

Sample of 2, which means that n = 2

This is P(X = 2). So

P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}*C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}

P(X = 2) = h(2,6,2,2) = \frac{C_{2,2}*C_{4,0}}{C_{6,2}} = 0.0667

0.0667 = 6.67% probability that both marbles are yellow.

What is the probability of one blue and then one yellow?

Total is 100%.

Can be:

Both blue(40%)

Both yellow(6.67%)

One blue and one yellow(x%). So

40 + 6.67 + x = 100

x = 100 - 46.67

x = 53.33

53.33% probability of one blue and then one yellow.

If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, what is the probability that both are blue?

Conditional probability.

Event A: Both same color

Event B: Both blue

Probability of both being same color:

Both blue(40%)

Both yellow(6.67%)

This means that P(A) = 0.4 + 0.0667 = 0.4667

Probability of both being the same color and blue:

40% probability that both are blue, which means that P(A \cap B) = 0.4

Desired probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4}{0.4667} = 0.8571

If you are told that both selected marbles are the same color, 0.8571 = 85.71% probability that both are blue

WhT is 6811.09 rounded to the nearest ten
Ede4ka [16]

The answer is 6,811.1

The reason the 0 moved up to a 1 is because the number in the hundredth place was 5 or over. If it were 4 or under, then it would have remained a 0.

Answer:

____________

the answer is B

___________

explanation

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.

Group the first two terms and the last two terms.

(x^2 - 2x) - 3xy + 6y

Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF) from each group.

x(x - 2) - 3y (x - 2)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, x - 2

(x - 2) (x - 3y)
