Answer:

24/99

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

White (W) balls = 4

Black (B) balls = 5

Blue (Bl) balls = 2

Probability that they are of different color =?

Next, we shall determine the total number of balls in the bag. This can be obtained as follow:

White (W) balls = 4

Black (B) balls = 5

Blue (Bl) balls = 2

TOTAL = 4 + 5 + 2 = 11 balls

Next, we shall determine the possible outcome of draw. This can be obtained as follow.

The possible outcome could be:

WBLB or WBBL or BBLW or BWBL or BLBW or BLWB

Next we shall determine the probability of each of outcomes.

Since the ball is drawn without replacement, it means the total number of ball will reduce after each draw.

White (W) balls = 4

Black (B) balls = 5

Blue (Bl) balls = 2

TOTAL = 11

P(WBLB) = 4/11 × 2/10 × 5/9 = 40/990

P(WBLB) = 4/99

P(WBBL) = 4/11 × 5/10 × 2/9 = 40/990

P(WBBL) = 4/99

P(BBLW) = 5/11 × 2/10 × 4/9 = 40/990

P(BBLW) = 4/99

P(BWBL) = 5/11 × 4/10 × 2/9 = 40/990

P(BWBL) = 4/99

P(BLBW) = 2/11 × 5/10 × 4/9 = 40/990

P(BLBW) = 4/99

P(BLWB) = 2/11 × 4/10 × 5/9 = 40/990

P(BLWB) = 4/99

Finally, we shall determine the probability that they are of different color. This can be obtained as follow:

P(WBLB) = 4/99

P(WBBL) = 4/99

P(BBLW) = 4/99

P(BWBL) = 4/99

P(BLBW) = 4/99

P(BLWB) = 4/99

Probability that they are of different color =?

Probability that they are of different color = P(WBLB) + P(WBBL) + P(BBLW) + P(BWBL) + P(BLBW) + P(BLWB)

= 4/99 + 4/99 + 4/99 + 4/99 + 4/99 + 4/99

= (4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4)/99

= 24/99

Thus, the probability that they are of different color is 24/99

Bodmass<br><br>-3[2/6+8{-9/3(8-5*3)-6}]​
Vadim26 [7]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  -361

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator can tell you the result. It is -361.

Start with the inner parentheses and work outward. Do multiplication and division in the order shown, left to right, before addition or subtraction.

  -3[2/6+8{-9/3(8-5*3)-6}]​

  = -3[2/6+8{-9/3(8-15)-6}]​

  = -3[2/6+8{-9/3(-7)-6}]​

  = -3[2/6+8{-3(-7)-6}]​

  = -3[2/6+8{21-6}]​

  = -3[2/6+8{15}]

  = -3[1/3+8{15}]

  = -3[1/3+120]

  = -3[361/3]

  = -361

Two solid metal spheres have masses of 5 kg and 135 kg respectively. If the radius of the smaller one is 4 cm, find the radius o
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The masses of the spheres are proportional to their volums, and the cube of the ratio is k^3=135/5=27 ==> k=3

The greater radius is 3*4=12 (cm)

Find three consecutive odd integers such that the product of the second and the third integers is twenty-six more than three tim
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Step-by-step explanation:

first number=x

second number=x+2

third number=x+4

(x+2)(x+4)=3x+26

x(x+4)+2(x+4)=3x+26

x²+4x+2x+8=3x+26

x²+6x+8=3x+26

x²+6x-3x=26-8

x²+3x=18

x²+3x-18=0

you can use that to find the numbers

A gambler has a coin which is either fair (equal probability heads or tails) or is biased with a probability of heads equal to 0
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a) 0.1719

(b) 0.3504

Step-by-step explanation:

For every coin the number of heads follows a Binomial distribution and the probability that x of the 10 times are heads is equal to:

P(x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}*p^x*(1-p)^{10-x}

Where n is 10 and p is the probability to get head. it means that p is equal to 0.5 for the fair coin and 0.3 for the biased coin

So, for the fair coin, the probability that the number of heads is less than 4 is:

P(x

Where, for example, P(0) and P(1) are calculated as:

P(0)=\frac{10!}{0!(10-0)!}*0.5^0*(1-0.5)^{10-0}=0.0009\\P(1)=\frac{10!}{1!(10-1)!}*0.5^1*(1-0.5)^{10-1}=0.0098

Then, P(x, so there is a probability of 0.1719 that you conclude that the coin is biased given that the coin is fair.

At the same way, for the biased coin, the probability that the number of heads is at least 4 is:

P(x\geq4 )=P(4)+P(5)+P(6)+...+P(10)

Where, for example, P(4) is calculated as:

P(4)=\frac{10!}{4!(10-4)!}*0.3^4*(1-0.3)^{10-4}=0.2001

Then, P(x\geq4 )=0.3504, so there is a probability of 0.3504 that you conclude that the coin is fair given that the coin is biased.

Elise walks diagonally from one corner of a square plaza to another. Each side of the plaza is 50 meters. What is the diagonal d
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

70.7 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Elise walks diagonally from one corner of a square plaza to another. Each side of the plaza is 50 meters.

Since we know that diagonal of a square is product of side length of square and \sqrt{2}. So we will find diagonal of our given square plaza by multiplying 50 by \sqrt{2}.

\text{Diagonal distance across the plaza}=50\times \sqrt{2}

\text{Diagonal distance across the plaza}=50\times 1.414213562373095

\text{Diagonal distance across the plaza}=70.71067811865475\approx 70.7

Therefore, diagonal distance across the plaza is 70.7 meters.
