hey are selected) what is the probability that at least two balls must be selected in order to get a green ball. g

Answer:

0.43478

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The \  required  \ probability = P(1st ball = red) \times P(2nd ball = red) + P(1st ball = red) \times P(2nd ball = white)  + P(2nd ball = red) \times P(1st ball = white) + P(1st ball = white) \times P(2nd ball = white)

= \dfrac{6}{6+8+10}\times  \dfrac{5}{5+8+10} +  \dfrac{6}{6+8+10} \times  \dfrac{10}{5+8+10} +  \dfrac{10}{6+8+10} \times  \dfrac{6}{5+8+10} \times  \dfrac{10}{6+8+10} \times  \dfrac{9}{5+8+9}

=(\dfrac{6}{24}\times \dfrac{5}{23})+ (\dfrac{6}{24}\times \dfrac{10}{23}) +( \dfrac{10}{24}\times \dfrac{6}{23} ) + (\dfrac{10}{24}\times \dfrac{9}{23})

= 0.05434782609 + 0.1086956522  + 0.1086956522  + 0.1630434783

= 0.4347826088

≅ 0.43478

Michael: (a)(b)(c)
irinina [24]

Answer:

Ladonna: a + c + b

Step-by-step explanation:

-The commutative property in addition states that the order of arrangement of the integers to be added has no effect on their sum such that:

x+y=y+x

-Since the alphabet follows the order a,b, c....

Only Ladonna rearranged to change this order to show the commutative property.

-Hence, Ladonna wrote the expression correctly.

*The commutative property should not be confused with the associative property.

-The latter allows you to change the order and terms within the closed parentheses while retaining the answer.

Please help me how to graph y = 44 + 3x
astraxan [27]
Okay, so this is actually relatively simple:
Go up 44 units on the y-axis, where x=0, and put a point. Now, since the slope is 3x, you move 3 units up, and 1 unit right, and place a point. Do this about 3 times, continuing to make points up 3, over 1. You can also move 3 units down and 1 unit left from the point at (0,44) because by moving down, you move -3 units, and by moving left, you move -1 units. This causes the negatives to cancel out, and you keep the slope of 3. 
I hope this explanation makes sense; good luck!

To solve algebraically:
Plug in any number for x, besides 0 because the y-intercept is (0,44). We will use 1 for our x.
y=44+3x
y=44+3(1)
y=44+3
y=47
And so, (1, 47) would be our point
You can use -1, as well.
y=44+3(-1)
y=44-3
y=41
(-1, 44) would be our point
