Answer:

The list of these events from least likely to most likely is Blue-Blue -> Black-Blue -> Blue-Black -> Black-Black

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Possible outcomes:

Black - Black

Black - Blue

Blue - Black

Blue - Blue

Probability of each outcome:

Black-Black:

14 out of 20, and then 9 out of 12. So

P_{BkBk} = \frac{14}{20} \times {9}{12} = \frac{14*9}{20*12} = \frac{126}{240}

Black-Blue:

14 out of 20, then 3 out of 12. So

P_{BkBl} = \frac{14}{20} \times {3}{12} = \frac{14*3}{20*12} = \frac{42}{240}

Less likely than black-black.

Blue - Black:

6 out of 20, then 9 out of 12. SO

P_{BlBk} = \frac{6}{20} \times {9}{12} = \frac{6*9}{20*12} = \frac{54}{240}

More likely than black-blue, less likely than black-black.

Blue - Blue

6 out of 20, then 3 out of 12

P_{BlBl} = \frac{6}{20} \times {3}{12} = \frac{6*3}{20*12} = \frac{18}{240}

Least likely of the outcomes.

List these events from least likely to most likely:

The list of these events from least likely to most likely is Blue-Blue -> Black-Blue -> Blue-Black -> Black-Black

You and your friend each collect rocks and fessis your friend collects three times as many roots and half as many fossils as you
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Number of rocks and fossils collected by you is <u>1 and  24</u> respectively

Number of rocks and fossils collected by your friend is <u>3 and 12 </u>respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the number of Rocks you collect be x

Let  the number of Fossils you collect be y

Then the total number pf objects you collected will be

x + y = 25

x = 25 - y------------------------------(1)

Your friend collects three times as many rocks and half as many fossils as you.

This can be written as

3x + y (1/2) = 15

3x + (y/2) = 15-------------------(2)

Substituting (1) in (2)

3(25 - y) + (y/2) = 15

75 - 3y + (y/2) = 15

Grouping the like terms we get,

75 - 15 = 3y = (y/2)

60 = ( 6y - y /2)

60 x 2 = 6y -y

120 = 5y

y = 120/5

y = 24

Substituting  y value in equation(1) we get

x = 25 - 24

x= 1

y= 24

Friends collects 3 times rock

so collects 3x =3(1) = 3rocks

Also he collects half as many fossils

That is

y/2 = 24/2 = 12 fossils

<u><em>Hope this help you! :)</em></u>

Find the first derivative of y = sin^2(cos2x)
AveGali [126]
Hello,

y=sin²(cos(2x))
y'=2*sin(cos(2x))*cos(cos(2x))*(-sin(2x)*2)
= -4*sin(cos(2x))*cos(cos(2x))*sin(2x)
