<h3>Answer:  17/24</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

We have these four cases or possible outcomes

  • Case 1) We select 0 black marbles and 3 red marbles.
  • Case 2) We select 1 black marble and 2 red marbles.
  • Case 3) We select 2 black marbles and 1 red marble.
  • Case 4) We select 3 black marbles and 0 red marbles.

Let's calculate the probability for case 4.

There are 7 black marbles out of 10 total. The probability of picking black is 7/10. If no replacement is made, then 6/9 is the probability of picking black again (subtract 1 from the numerator and denominator separately). Finally, 5/8 is the probability of getting black a third time.

The probability of getting 3 black marbles in a row is

(7/10)*(6/9)*(5/8) = (7*6*5)/(10*9*8) = 210/720 = 7/24.

That fraction 7/24 means that if you had 24 chances, then you expect about 7 of them will lead to getting three black marbles in a row (aka case 4). Therefore, 24-7 = 17 occurrences are expected where we get cases 1 through 3 occur in some fashion (pick one case only).

Notice how cases 1 through 3 encapsulate the phrasing "at most 2 black marbles" which is another way of saying "2 black marbles is the highest we can go".

So that's why the answer is 17/24.

Find a number that is between 2/7 and 4/11 .
Furkat [3]
To answer this problem, one way is to use the calculator and add directly the two numbers and get the average between the two. The answer is 25/77. We can also get this number by getting the LCM of the denominators which is 77. 2/7 is equal to 22/77 while 4/11 is equal to 28/77. 0.5*(22 +28) is equal to 25. Hence the answer is 25/77.

Work out the acceleration for the first 3 seconds?
Finger [1]

The acceleration is given by the slope of the line. This line passes through the points (0, 2) and (3, 5), so it has slope

\dfrac{5-2}{3-0}=1

which means the acceleration over this 3 second interval is 1 m/s^2.
