You randomly select 2 marbles from a mug containing 7 blue marbles, 3 red marbles, and 2 white marbles. How many times greater i

s the probability of selecting one blue marble and then one red marble when you do not replace the first marble before selecting the second marble than when you do replace the first marble before selecting the second marble? Express the answer as a fraction.

Answer:

Scenario 1: w/o replacement: P(blue, then red) = (7/12)(3/11) = 7/44

Scenario 2: w/ replacement:  P(blue, then red) = (7/12)(3/12) = 7/48

Ratio of Probability #1 to Probability # 2 = 48/44 = 12/11, i.e. Prob # 1 is 1.0909... times Prob # 2

Step-by-step explanation:

polet [3.4K]
The frequency of the second class is 6.

Since the class width is 6 and the lower limit of the first class is 50, this means the first class goes from 50-55.  This would put the second class at 56-61.  There are 6 data points in this set that would go in the second class.

Please help i am confused
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 18x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Step #1: Determine the length of each side.

The polygon is regular, so all the sides are equal. Thus, all sides measure 3x+2.

Step #2: Determine the number of sides in the polygon.

This polygon is identified as a hexagon meaning it consists of 6 sides.

Step #3: Set up an expression and distribute.

       (Number of sides) x (Length of each side)

       (6)(3x+2)

  • 6 times 3x equals positive 18x
  • 6 times 2 equals positive 12

So, the answer is 18x + 12.

NeX [460]
If Ms. Callahan has 24 feet of fencing, and she is building a pen, the PERIMETER of the pen must be 24 feet.  The perimeter is basically the distance around a figure.  The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to length plus width plus length plus width, AKA l+w+l+w, or P=2l+2w.  In a rectangle, two pairs of sides are of equal length--so the two lengths and the two widths must be equal.

So, the formula is P=2l+2w.  P, the perimeter, is 24, so 24=2l+2w.  Let's try some values for l and see what we get for w.  If the length is 1, l=1.  24=(2*1)+2w.  24=2+2w.  22=2w.  w=11.  So if length is 1 foot, width is 11 feet.

What if l=2?  24=(2*2)+2w.  24=4+2w.  2w=20.  w=10.  If l=2, w=10.  And l=3?  24=(2*3)+2w.  24=6+2w.  18=2w.  w=9.  If l=3, w=9.  Do you see a pattern?  Every time we add 1 to l, we subtract 1 from w.  So if l=4, w=8.  If l=5, w=7.  If l=6, w=6.  Here, we start getting similar answers: if l=7, w=5.  If l=8, w=4.  Since we already know these values work, it doesn't matter whether we call it length or width.  So, our answers are below.

Answer: Ms Callahan can make a pen with a length of 1 foot and a width of 11 feet, a length of 2 feet and a width of 10 feet, a length of 3 feet and a width of 9 feet, a length of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, a length of 5 feet and a width of 7 feet, or a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet.
