Answer:
The probability of getting two of the same color is 61/121 or about 50.41%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bag is filled with five blue marbles and six red marbles.
And we want to find the probability of getting two of the same color.
If we're getting two of the same color, this means that we are either getting Red - Red or Blue - Blue.
In other words, we can find the independent probability of each case and add the probabilities together*.
The probability of getting a red marble first is:
Since the marble is replaced, the probability of getting another red is:
The probability of getting a blue marble first is:
And the probability of getting another blue is:
So, the probability of getting two of the same color is:
*Note:
We can only add the probabilities together because the event is mutually exclusive. That is, a red marble is a red marble and a blue marble is a blue marble: a marble cannot be both red and blue simultaneously.
Let be the dimensions of the rectangle. We know the equations for both area and perimeter:
So, we have the following system:
From the second equation, we can deduce
Plug this in the first equation to get
Refactor as
And solve with the usual quadratic formula to get
Both solutions are feasible, because they're both positive.
If we chose the positive solution, we have
If we choose the negative solution, we have
So, we're just swapping the role of and
. The two dimensions of the rectangle are
