Answer:

Therefore the of blue in the second urn is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let second urn contain x number of blue ball .

Urn            Red Ball          Blue Ball         Total Ball

1                       4                       6                      10

2                      16                       x                    16+x

Getting a red ball from first urn is P(R_1)=\frac{\textrm {Number of red ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}}    =\frac{4}{10}

Getting a blue ball from first urn is P(B_1)=\frac{\textrm {Number of blue ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}} =\frac {6}{10}

Getting a red ball from second urn is P(R_2)=\frac{\textrm {Number of red ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}}    =\frac{16}{16+x}

Getting a blue ball from second urn is P(B_2)=\frac{\textrm {Number of blue ball}}{\textrm {Total ball}} =\frac {x}{16+x}

Getting two red balls from first and second urn is =\frac{4}{10}\times \frac{16}{16+x}

                                                                                  =\frac{32}{5(16+x)}

Getting two blue balls from first and second urn is =\frac{6}{10}\times \frac{x}{16+x}

                                                                                  =\frac{3x}{5(16+x)}

The probability that both balls are the same in color is =\frac{32}{5(16+x)}+\frac{3x}{5(16+x)}

Given that the probability that both balls are the same in color is 0.44.

According to the problem,

\frac{32}{5(16+x)}+\frac{3x}{5(16+x)}=0.44

\Rightarrow \frac{32+3x}{5(16+x)} =0.44

\Rightarrow \frac {32+3x}{(80+5x)} =0.44

\Rightarrow 32+3x =0.44(80+5x)

\Rightarrow 32+3x =35.2 +2.2x

\Rightarrow 3x -2.2 x= 35.2 -32

\Rightarrow 0.8x= 3.2

\Rightarrow x = 4

Therefore the of blue in the second urn is 4.

What is 0.37 in expanded form using powers of ten.
Leno4ka [110]

Solution

              To   write   0.37   in  expanded  form   using  powers  of  ten

              0.37   can  be   written   as

              0.37  =  0.30  +  0.07

              Since ,

                              0.30    =   3/10

                              0.07    =   7/ 100

              Therefore  ,

                          0.37  =    3/10  +  7/ 100

                                   =    3 x (1 / 10)  +  7 x (1 / 100)

                        Hence , option   C
