Answer:

c. 0.3974

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of white balls, W = 17

number of red balls, R = 18

Total number of balls, T = 35

The number of ways the event will occur is given by

= P(2 whites) and P(2 reds)

= P(2whites) x P(2 reds)

= 17C2 x 18C2

= 136 x 153

= 20,808

The total number of possible outcome

= 35C4

= 52,360

The probability = 20,808 / 52,360

                          = 0.3974

The correct option is "C"

(3x2 + 10x + 3) by (x + 3)​
Nata [24]
Explanation: 3 x 2 + 10 x + 3 We can Split the Middle Term of this expression to factorise it. In this technique, if we have to factorise an expression like a x 2 + b x + c , we need to think of 2 numbers such that: N 1 ⋅ N 2 = a ⋅ c = 3 ⋅ 3 = 9 and, N 1 + N 2 = b = 10 After trying out a few numbers we get: N 1 = 9 and N 2 = 1 9 ⋅ 1 = 9 , and 9 + ( 1 ) = 10 3 x 2 + 10 x + 3 = 3 x 2 + 9 x + 1 x + 3 = 3 x ( x + 3 ) + 1 ( x + 3 ) ( 3 x + 1 ) ( x + 3 ) is the factorised form for the expression.
