There is a bag filled with 3 blue, 4 red and 5 green marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and

then it is replaced. Another marble is taken at random. What is the probability of getting 2 different colours?

Calculate Total marbles:

Total marbles = Blue + Red + Green

Total marbles = 3 + 4 + 5

Total marbles = 12

Probability of a green = 5/12

Probability of not green = 1 - 5/12 = 7/12

To get exactly one green in two draws, we either get a green, not green, or a not green, green

First Draw Green, Second Draw Not Green

1st draw: Probability of a green = 5/12

2nd draw: Probability of not green = 7/11 <-- 11 since we did not replace the first marble

To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities

Probability of the event is (5/12) * (7/11) = 35/132

First Draw Not Green, Second Draw Not Green

1st draw: Probability of not a green = 7/12

2nd draw: Probability of not green = 5/11 <-- 11 since we did not replace the first marble

To get the probability of the event, since each draw is independent, we multiply both probabilities

Probability of the event is (7/12) * (5/11) = 35/132

To get the probability of exactly one green, we add both of the events:

First Draw Green, Second Draw Not Green + First Draw Not Green, Second Draw Not Green

35/132 + 35/132 = 70/132

SO THE ANSWER IS 35/66

How do I add and subtract radicals with no like terms
liq [111]

Most real number arithmetic is pretty vacuous

\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 = \sqrt{2} + \sqrt{3}

That's about as good a way as possible to write this particular real number. But it's far from the only way.

(\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3)^2 = \sqrt{2}^2 + 2\sqrt 2 \sqrt 3 + \sqrt{3}^2 = 5 + 2 \sqrt 6

so

\sqrt 2 + \sqrt 3 = \sqrt{5 + 2 \sqrt 6}

Sometimes you can factor something out and you have a common radical:

\sqrt{32} + \sqrt{128} = \sqrt{2^5} + \sqrt{2^7} = 4 \sqrt{2} + 8 \sqrt{2} = 12 \sqrt{2}

But most of them are vacuous,

3\sqrt{7} + 34 \sqrt{13} = 3\sqrt{7} + 34 \sqrt{13}

ANSWER THIS ASAP FOR BRAINIEST What type of triangle is shown below?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

The last one

Step-by-step explanation:

A scalene triangle has no similarities between the angles or the sides

In the shown triangle none of the sides are similar and none of the angles are congruent therefore this is a scalene triangle

Reasons why its not the other answers

  • This is not an acute triangle. In order for it to be an acute triangle all of the angles have to have a measure less than 90 degrees. There is an angle with a measure of 120 degrees the triangle is not an acute triangle
  • This triangle is not an isosceles triangle. In order for it to be an isosceles triangles it has to have at least one congruent side. None of the sides are congruent therefore it is not an isosceles triangle
  • This is not a right triangle. In order for it to be a right triangle one of the angles has to have a measure of 90 degrees. Because none of the angles measure 90 degrees it is not a right triangle

In conclusion the answer would be that this triangle is a scalene triangle
