<span>25/28 is the probability of picking two or three white balls. Given that there are only 8 balls in total and of those 8, 5 of them are blue, this problem can be turned around to "What's the probability of selecting 5 blue balls?" And then subtracting that result from 1. There are a total of 6 ways of selecting all 5 blue balls. The only difference is when the single white ball is selected. The 6 ways are BBBBBW, BBBBWB, ..., WBBBBB. So let's calculate the probability of each of those 6. 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * 1/4 * 3/3 + 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 * 3/4 * 1/3 + 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 + 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 + 5/8 * 3/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 + 3/8 * 5/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 * 2/4 * 1/3 = ? If you look closely at each of the 6 lines, you'll realize that the numerator will always be the product of 5!3 and the denominator will be 3*4*5*6*7*8. So, let's simplify to 6*5!3/(3*4*5*6*7*8) = 6*5*4*3*2*3/(3*4*5*6*7*8) = 2*3/(7*8) = 3/(7*4) = 3/28 Now we just need to calculate 1 - 3/28 = 28/28 - 3/28 = 25/28</span>

PLEASE HELP me with the magic square
defon

Fill in each slot in the square with variables <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, <em>d</em>, and <em>e</em>, in order from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. In a magic square, the sums across rows, columns, and diagonals all add up to the same number called the <em>magic sum</em>.

The magic sum is -3.9, since "diagonal 2" (bottom left to top right) has all the information we need:

3 + (-1.3) + (-5.6) = -3.9

Use this to find the remaining elements

  • row 1:

<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + (-5.6) = -3.9

  • row 2:

<em>c</em> + (-1.3) + <em>d</em> = -3.9

  • row 3:

3 + <em>e</em> + 0.02 = -3.9

  • column 1:

<em>a</em> + <em>c</em> + 3 = -3.9

  • column 2:

<em>b</em> + (-1.3) + <em>e</em> = -3.9

  • column 3:

(-5.6) + <em>d</em> + 0.02 = -3.9

  • diagonal 1 (top left to bottom right):

<em>a</em> + (-1.3) + 0.02 = -3.9

You will find

<em>a</em> = -2.62

<em>b</em> = 4.32

<em>c</em> = -4.28

<em>d</em> = 1.68

<em>e</em> = -6.92
