The probability of randomly picking out a red marble is 50%, or 1/2.

You can figure this out by finding out the percentage of each marble in the bag, and that percentage would be the probability for picking out that colour of marble. For example, the percentage of red marbles in the bag is 50%, the percentage of blue marbles in the bag is 20%, and the percentage of green marbles in the bag is 30%.

By doing this, you figured out not only the percentage of each colour of marble in the bag, but you also figured out the probability of each marble being randomly picked out of the bag.

Prove that the product of any two consecutive natural numbers is even.
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the 2 consecutive natural numbers are 'n' and 'n+1'

Thus the product of the 2 numbers is given by

Product=n(n+1)\\\\

We know that the sum of 'n' consecutive natural numbers starting from 1 is

S_n=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\\\\\therefore n(n+1)=2\times S_n............(i)

Thus from equation 'i' we can write

Product=2\times S_n

As we know that any number multiplied by 2 is even thus we conclude that the product of 2 consecutive numbers is even.

suppose six of these people are men, and the other six are women. in how many ways can they join hands for a circle dance, assum
Drupady [299]

Twelve people join hands for a circle dance.In how many ways can they do this? Suppose six of these people are men, and the other six are women. In how many ways can they join hands for a circle dance, assuming they alternate in gender around the circle

Answer:

86400 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the circle can be rotated, the number of ways to arrange a distinct number of n objects in a circle will be (n−1)!.

Now, if we rotate the circle with the six women, we will see that there are 5! ways with which they can be placed in the circle.

After picking the places for the women, we will now fill each gap between two women with a man.

We have 6 men. Thus, number of ways to arrange the men is 6!

Thus,number of ways they can join hands for a circle dance, assuming they alternate in gender around the circle = 5! × 6! = 86400 ways
