A bag contains n white tiles and five black tiles. The tiles are all equal in shape and sizes. A tile is drawn at random and is

replaced. A second tile is then drawn.

We know that our bag has n white tiles and 5 black tiles.

So, the total number of tiles in the bag is n + 5.

We know that a tile is drawn at random and is replaced, then a second tile is drawn.

a) We want to find the probability that the first tile is white.

Because all the tiles have the same probability of being randomly drawn, the probability of drawing a white tile is just the quotient between the number of white tiles and the total number of tiles in the bag.

P = n/(n + 5)

And for the second draw, we do not have any restrictions, so the probability is the above one.

P = n/(n + 5)

b) Now we want both tiles to be white.

For the first one we already know the probability, which is:

P = n/(n + 5)

And because the tile is replaced, the probability of drawing a white tile again is exactly the same:

Q =n/(n + 5)

The joint probability (the probability of both of these outcomes to happen together) is the product of the individual probabilities.

Probability = P*Q = (n/(n + 5))^2

Please help 100 points!!
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Looking at the first question, it's asking what best describes the probability of tossing a number less than 6 on a number cube that has 6 numbers.  Impossible means that it will never land on it, for example asking what the probability of landing on 7 is.  Unlikely is something that doesn't happen often.  The best option that fits our scenario is option C, likely.

Looking at the second question, it's asking what the probability that the teacher chooses a girl in his class.  There are 15 girls and a total of 27 students in the class so we take the probability by doing 15/27.  We can narrow both the numerator and the denominator using 3 which gives us 5/9.  Therefore, the best option that fits our scenario is option C, 5/9.

Finally, looking at the last question, it's asking what the theoretical probability that the coin will land on heads on the next toss.  Theoretical probability doesn't consider how much times Murray tossed the coin, the only thing it cares about is what the actual probability of tossing a coin is.  Therefore that makes it a 50% chance of landing on a heads and a 50% chance of landing on a tails.  The best option that first our scenario is option B, 1/2.

Solve for x: 3x + 3 = -2x + 13
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable (x)

To do this, we must get all the variables to one side of the equation, and all the numbers to the other

3x+3= -2x+13

Add 2x to both sides to "reverse" the subtraction

5x+3=13

Subtract 3 from both sides to "reverse" the addition

5x=10

Divide both sides by 5 to "reverse" the multiplication

x=2
