Step-by-step explanation:

probability, without looking in the drawer, that you will first select and remove a black pair, then select either a blue or a white pair

=P(first black pair)*P(2nd white or blue|1st black)

=(5/17)*(12/16)*100

=22.06 %

PLEEAASEE HELP!!! Suppose Q and R are independent events. Find P(Q and R) if P(Q) = 4/5 and P(R) = 4/11.
kari74 [83]
The answer is C. 16/55 because P(Q and R) = P (Q) . P (R) (for independent events Q and R) 

So, the prob. is 4/5 * 4/11 = 16/55 = D.

The area of the resulting figure will be given by:
∫f(x)dx
f(x)=13/2x^3
thus
∫f(x)dx=13/2∫x³dx=13/8[x^4]
integrating over the inerval

You randomly pick two numbers from 1 to 9 (including 1 and 9). A number that is chosen once could be chosen again. If at least o
Mnenie [13.5K]
Assume that you only include whole numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and not 3.5 and such
so if 1 is odd and less than 5 then it is
1 or 3, since 5 isn't included
then the other number, to be less than 5 when added,
must be
1+x<5
3+x<5
solve each
1+x<5
subtract 1
x<4
set of answers are 1,2,3

3+x<5
subtract 3
x<2
set of answer is 1
so the possible numbers are
1,2,3
that is 3 numbesr out of 9 so
probability=(total desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes) so
disred outcomes=3
total possible=9
3/9=1/3
the probabiltiy is 1/3
