Answer:

Probability = 0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

White = 6

Black = 4

Required

Probability that second is black

This selection can be represented as:

(Black and Black) or (White and Black)

The probability of Black and Black is:

P(Black\ Only) = \frac{Black}{Total} * \frac{Black - 1}{Total - 1}

<em>1 is subtracted from the second fraction because it is probability without replacement</em>

P(Black\ Only) = \frac{4}{10} * \frac{4- 1}{10 - 1}

P(Black\ Only) = \frac{4}{10} * \frac{3}{9}

P(Black\ Only) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{3}

P(Black\ Only) = \frac{2}{15}

The probability of White and Black is:

P(Black\ and\ White) = \frac{Black}{Total} * \frac{White}{Total - 1}

<em />

<em>1 is subtracted from the second fraction because it is probability without replacement</em>

P(Black\ and\ White) = \frac{4}{10} * \frac{6}{10- 1}

P(Black\ and\ White) = \frac{4}{10} * \frac{6}{9}

P(Black\ and\ White) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2}{3}

P(Black\ and\ White) = \frac{4}{15}

So, the required probability is:

Probability = P(Black\ Only) + P(Black\ and\ White)

Probability = \frac{2}{15} + \frac{4}{15}

Probability = \frac{2+4}{15}

Probability = \frac{6}{15}

Probability = 0.4

Answer:

A) A = 1; B = 0; C = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form for a quadratic is

Ax^2 +Bx +C=0

We are given

1/4x^2 + 5 = 0

Rewriting

1/4x^2 +0x+ 5 = 0

A = 1/4  B=0 C=5

We can multiply each side by 4

4(1/4x^2 +0x+ 5) = 0*4

x^2 +0x+ 20 = 0

A = 1  B=0 C=20
