Three bottles of different sizes contain different compositions of red and blue candy. The largest bottle contains eight red and

two blue pieces, the mid-size bottle has five red and seven blue, the small bottle holds four red and two blue. A monkey will pick one of these three bottles, and then pick one piece of candy from it. Because of the size differences, there is a probability of 0.5 that the large bottle will be picked, and a probability of 0.4 that the mid-size bottle is chosen. Once a bottle is picked, it is equally likely that the monkey will select any of the candy inside, regardless of color.
a. What is the probability that a blue candy is picked?
b. If a blue candy is picked, what is the probability that the large bottle was selected?

Answer:

0.3667

0.2727

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

P (Blue) = P (large and Blue) + P (mid and Blue) + P (small and Blue)

P (Blue) = (0.5 * 0.2) + (0.4*7 / 12) + (0.1* 1 / 3)

P (Blue) = 0.3667

b)

Conditional Probability:

P (Large / Blue ) = P (large and Blue) / P ( Blue)

P (Large / Blue ) = 0.5*0.2 / 0.36667

P (Large / Blue ) = 0.2727

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

AB+BC>AC

2x + 3 + x + 1 > x + 10

we correct like terms

2x + x + 3 + 1> x+ 10

3x + 4> x + 10

3x - x > 10-4

2x > 6

divide both sides by 2

2x÷2 > 6÷2

x = 3

A student is saving money to buy a video game. The student currently has $20 and plans to save $10 every month. Write a function
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

y = amount saved in dollars

x = months

Since the student already has $20 dollars saved (20) and plans to save $10 per month (10x), the equation so far is y = 20 + 10x.

You can use this to solve questions based of the equation/situation by filling in any numbers you are given where the variables are.

Hope this helps! :)

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

72.73% probability of selecting a​ girl, given the flip resulted in​heads

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Coin resulted in heads

Student is selected at random from a class of six boys and sixteen girls.​

Desired outcomes:

16 girls, so D = 16

Total outcomes:

16+6 = 22, that is, 22 students, so T = 22

Probability:

P = \frac{16}{22} = 0.7273

72.73% probability of selecting a​ girl, given the flip resulted in​heads
