When you divide the same value raised to different powers keep the value and subtract the powers.
A^15 / a^5 = a ^(15-5) = a^10
Answer: probability of Jake took 2 reds marbles = 3/52
probability of John took 1 blue marble = 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, I will assume in this problem that the sample is not replacement, which means after Jake took 2 marbles, he didn't put it back into the sample.
The total of the sample = 20 + 10 +5 +5
Probability of Jake took the 1st red marble is 10/40 because there are 10 marbles in a whole bag of 40 marbles. Once Jack picked the 1st red marble out, there are only 9 red marbles left, thus the probability of the 2nd red marble is 9/39.
=> probability of Jake took 2 reds marbles = (10/40) *(9/39) = 3/52
and it goes the same way for John, except we only need to find 1 blue marble so we don't have to multiply anything here.
=> probability of John took 1 blue marble = 5/40 = 1/8
Rule: Y=X-2
1st blank spot: -5
2nd blank spot: -3
3rd blank spot: -2
Hope this helped! :)
Your money grows faster because the interest is added back into the principle and then the next time it compounds you get interest on the new principle amount. So for example, you deposit $100 in an account that gets 5% interest compounded semiannually. The first time it compounds you get $5 added to your account so your new balance is $105. The next time it compounds you get 5% on $105 so you get $5.25 added and so on. If this is only happening semi-annually that would be all you get for the year. But if it happens quarterly you would get would get deposits of $5.51 and $5.79 as well. If it compounds monthly or even daily your money would grow more and more. Hope this helps.
