An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns (A goes first) withdrawing balls from the urn consecutively.

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The probability that A selects the first red ball is 0.5833.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns (A goes first) withdrawing balls from the urn consecutively.

To find : What is the probability that A selects the first red ball?

Solution :

A wins if the first red ball is drawn 1st,3rd,5th or 7th.

A red ball drawn first, there are $E(1)= ^9C_2$ places in which the other 2 red balls can be placed.

A red ball drawn third, there are $E(3)= ^7C_2$ places in which the other 2 red balls can be placed.

A red ball drawn fifth, there are $E(5)= ^5C_2$ places in which the other 2 red balls can be placed.

A red ball drawn seventh, there are $E(7)= ^3C_2$ places in which the other 2 red balls can be placed.

The total number of total event is $S= ^{10}C_3$

The probability that A selects the first red ball is

$P(A \text{wins})=\frac{(^9C_2)+(^7C_2)+(^5C_2)+(^3C_2)}{^{10}C_3}$

$P(A \text{wins})=\frac{36+21+10+3}{120}$

$P(A \text{wins})=\frac{70}{120}$

$P(A \text{wins})=0.5833$

How to find all real solutions

AlladinOne [14]

$\bf \sqrt{\sqrt{x-5}+x}=5\leftarrow \textit{squaring both sides}
\\\\
\sqrt{x-5}+x=25\implies \sqrt{x-5}=25-x\leftarrow \textit{squaring both sides}
\\\\
x-5=(25-x)^2\implies x-5=625-50x+x^2
\\\\
0=x^2-51x+630\implies 0=(x-30)(x-21)$

and surely you'd know what the roots are

If the exponent is 3 and the base is 2 whats the simplified expression

Rom4ik [11]

If the base is 2 and the exponent is the the expression would look like this → 2³. In order to simplify it, you have to multiply the base number by the number of the exponent.

2×2×2=8
Therefore, the simplified expression would be 8.

I hope this helped.

Consider a large shipment of 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors. If X is the number among 15 randomly sel

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The required probability is 0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 400 refrigerators, of which 40 have defective compressors.

Therefore N = 400 and X = 40

The probability of defective compressors is:

$\frac{40}{400}=0.10$

It is given that If X is the number among 15 randomly selected refrigerators that have defective compressors,

That means n=15

Apply the probability density function.

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

We need to find P(X ≤ 3)

$P(X\leq3) =P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)\\P(X\leq3) =\frac{15!}{15!}(0.1)^0(1-0.1)^{15}+\frac{15!}{14!}(0.1)^1(1-0.1)^{14}+\frac{15!}{13!2!}(0.1)^2(1-0.1)^{13}+\frac{15!}{12!3!}(0.1)^3(1-0.1)^{12}\\$

$P(X\leq3) =0.944444369992\approx 0.94$

Hence, the required probability is 0.94

Use the diagram to complete the statement <br>

poizon [28]

I believe it is 105 since if added together they make a linear pair(I believe) so, 180-75 equals 105.
