Answer:

77.

Step-by-step explanation:

an = a1 + (n-1)d where d is the common difference.

a12 = a1 + 11d

22 = a1 +11(-5)

22 = a1 - 55

a1 = 22 + 55

a1 = 77.

A bag contains 5 red marbles, 6 blue, and 4 green. If three marbles are drawn what is the probability to the nearest 10th all th

fredd [130]

Answer: 4.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of drawing blue first is 6 in 15

Assuming you get that one, the second is 5 in 14 (as you've taken a blue one out)

If that's successful you have 5 in 13 chances of pulling another blue

As you want the first AND second AND third to happen, you multiply them…

(6/15)*(5/14)*(4/13) = 0.04395

So as a percentage, to the nearest tenth is 4.4%
