Each of the 25 balls in a certain box is either red, blue or white and has a number from 1 to 10 painted on it. If one ball is t

o be selected at random from the box, what is the probability that the ball selected will either be white or have an even number painted on it?
(1) The probability that the ball will both be white and have an even number painted on it is 0
(2) The probability that the ball will be white minus the probability that the ball will have an even number painted on it is 0.2

Answer:

Not sufficient information

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of white ball: P(W)

Probability of even number: P(E)

Probability of white ball or even number: P(W∨E) is asked

Considering case (1):

Probability of white ball and even number: P(W∧E) = 0

And we know that,

P(W∨E) = P(W) + P(E) - P(W∧E) = P(W) + P(E) - 0 = P(W) + P(E)

It is not sufficient to calculate the desired probability.

Considering case (2):

P(W) - P(E) = 0.2

Here, it is possible for P(W) and P(E) to get multiply values.

So P(W∨E) cannot be determined.

Considering cases (1) & (2):

P(W∧E) = 0 and P(W) - P(E) = 0.2

So, P(W∨E) = P(W) + P(E) = P(E) + 0.2 + P(E) = 2P(E) + 0.2

Again multiple answers are possible.

Such as, for P(E) = 0.4 (10 even balls) ⇒ P(W∨E) = 1

but for P(E) = 0.2 (5 even balls) ⇒ P(W∨E) = 0.6

So, the information are not sufficient.

What value of x makes the equation true?<br> -1=1 – 4(-5+4x) – 4x
cluponka [151]

Answer:

x = 11/10

Step-by-step explanation:

we have from statement:

-1=1 - 4(-5+4x) – 4x

we apply distributive property:

-1 = 1 -4*(-5) -4*(4x) -4x

so we have:

-1= 1+20 -16x -4x

-1 = 21 -20x

-22=-20x

so we have:

x=22/20

x=11/10

we can substitute the x value found:

-1 = 1 - 4(-5+4*(11/10)) – 4*(11/10)

-1 = 1+20 -17.6 -4.4

-1 =21 -22

so we have:

-1 = -1

Which math subject is the hardest
lesya [120]

Combinatorial Enumeration. That whole class was a rollercoaster ride of mind-blowing generating functions to prove crazy things. The exam had ridiculous questions like 'count the number of cactus trees with n vertices such that etc etc etc' and you'd do three pages of terrible terrible sums and algebra. Then your final answer would be something beautiful like n/2 and you'd breath a sigh of relief and thank the math gods.

Find the value of x: 7e(×/3)=14
velikii [3]
<span>7e^(×/3)=14
</span><span>e^(×/3)=14/7
</span>e^(×/3)=2
take ln of both sides;
lne^(×/3)=ln2
****You should be familiar that lne^x=x as ln is the inverse function of e and vice versa****
then;
x/3=ln2
x=3ln2
x approximately is equal to 2.1
