14/99

Select 1 marble; the chance that it is white is 4/12. Select a 2nd marble; the chance that it is white is 3/11. Select a 3rd; the chance it is white is 2/10. Select a 4th; the chance it is red is 8/9. Select a 5th; the chance it is red is 7/8. The chance of getting this specific set of 5 marbles in this order is (4/12)×(3/11)×(2/10)×(8/9)×(7/8)=(2×7)/(11×10×9).

This specific set could occur in the permutation of 5 things taken 5 at a time where 3 are identical (white), and the other 2 are also identical (red). The formula for this is 5!/(3!2!)=10.

Combining the chance of getting white, white, white, red, red with the number of ways 3 white and 2 red could have been distributed in the draw of 5 marbles gives the answer:

{(2×7)/(11×10×9)}×10=14/99

A similar process will show that the chance of getting 5 red marbles is 7/99; 4 white and 1 red is 1/99; 2 white and 3 red is 42/99; and 1 white and 4 red is 35/99.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

181 feets

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Rate of change in water level = - 1.5 feets per month

Water level at beginning of May = 187 feets above sea level

Water level at the end of 4 months =?

Total change after four months = rate of change per month * number of months

= - 1.5 * 4 = - 6 feets

Hence water level after 4 months :

187 feets + (-6 feets)

187 feets - 6 feets

= 181 feets
