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.

1. Flight 202's arrival time is normally distributed with a mean arrival time of 4:30
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let the random time variable, X = 45min; mean, ∪ = 30min; standard deviation, α = 15min

By comparing P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 30)

P(Z ≤ X - ∪/α) = P(Z ≤ 45 - 30/15) = P( Z ≤ 1)

Using Table

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.3413

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.3413) = 0.1537

∴ P(Z > 45) = 0.1537

2)  By compering (0 ≤ Z ≤ 15) ( that is 4:15pm)

P(Z ≤ 15 - 30/15) = P(Z ≤ -1)

Using Table

P(-1 ≤ Z ≤ 0) = 0.3413

P(Z < 1) = (0.5 - 0.3413) = 0.1587

∴ P(Z < 15) = 0.1587

3) By comparing P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 60) (that is for 5:00pm)

P(Z ≤ 60 - 30/15) = P(Z ≤ 2)

Using Table

P(0 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.4772

P(Z > 1) = (0.5 - 0.4772) = 0.0228

∴ P(Z > 60) = 0.0228

What is the converse of the following statement? If a number is odd, it is not divisible by two.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Converse in discrete mathematics is switching the hypothesis and conclusion of a conditional statement.

So the correct answer will be that If a number is not divisible by two, then it is an odd number. Which is option D.

The math converse of a statement switches the if and then, resulting in a statement that may or may not be true so we have no guarantee that the preposition is true or not.
