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.

How much sand would you need to fill this box ?
grin007 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

l =5ft

b=2ft

h=3ft

volume(v) = l \times b \times h

v = (l*b*h)

v = (5*2*3)ft

v = (30)ft

.•. v = 30ft

Adult men have heights that a normally distributed with a mean of 69.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.4 inches. Adult wome
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

For Adult Men

Mean \mu = 69.5

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.4

observed value X = 74

For Adult Women

Mean \mu = 63.8

Standard deviation \sigma = 2.6

observed value X = 70

Therefore ; the values for their z  scores can be obtained in order to determine who is more unusually tall within his or her respective sex

For Adult Men :

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{74- 69.5}{2.4}

z = \dfrac{4.5}{2.4}

z = 1.875

For Adult Women :

z = \dfrac{X- \mu}{\sigma}

z = \dfrac{70- 63.8}{2.6}

z = \dfrac{6.2}{2.6}

z = 2.3846

Thus; we can conclude that , the women is more unusually tall within his or her respective sex

Cal is packing his suitcase to go on a trip. He wants to pack 4 pairs of pants chosen from the 8 pairs of pants in his closet an
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

8820 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Selecting 4 pairs of pant from 8 available and selecting 5 shirts from 9 available

Using combination :

4 pants from 8 = 8C4

5 shirts from 9 = 9C5

Recall:

nCr = n! / (n-r)! r!

8C4 * 9C5 = [8! /(8-4)!4!] * [9! /(9-5)!5!]

8C4 * 9C5 = (8! /4!4!) * (9! /4!5!)

8C4 * 9C5 = 70 * 126

8C4 * 9C5 = 8820 ways
