A bag contains n blue and m red marbles. You randomly pick a marble from the bag, write down its color, and then put the marble

back in the bag. This process is repeated until you pick either two consecutive blue or two consecutive red marbles. Given that the process stopped because you picked two consecutive blue marbles, what is the probability that the first marbled you picked was blue

Answer:

(mn+n²)/(m+n)

Step-by-step explanation:

probability of blue marble= n/(n+m)

probability of red marble= m/(n+m)

probability that process stops = Probability of both blue + probability of both red=  n/(n+m) × n/(n+m) + m/(n+m)×m/(n+m)

                        = (n²+m²)/(n+m)²

P(1st marbel is blue)= P(blue and red) + P(blue and blue)

                                  = mn/(n+m) + n²/(n+m)

                                   = (mn+n²)/(m+n)

P(1st marble is blue | process stops)= ( (mn+n²)/(m+n)× (n²+m²)/(n+m)²)/ ((n²+m²)/(n+m)²)

= (mn+n²)/(m+n)

Describe the effect an increase in i, the interest rate applied to the present value, has on the monthly payment P in the formul
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B. An increase in i, the interest rate, will create an increase in P, the monthly payment.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula for the monthly payment as,

P=\frac{i \times PV}{1-(1+i)^{-n} },

where P = monthly payment, i = rate of interest, PV = present value and n = time period.

Now, as i increase we get that (1+i) increases and so (1+i)^{n} increases.

This gives us that, \frac{1}{(1+i)^{n} } decreases and so 1-\frac{1}{(1+i)^{n}} decreases

Therefore, \frac{1}{1-(1+i)^{-n} } increases.

So, we get that as i increases , the value of P will increase.

Hence, option B is correct.
