Answer:
The wrt=itten expressions are too difficult to interpret properly. I did my best but I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
"Negative 3 x minus one-half 4 y"
-3x- (1/2)4y
<u>or -3x - 2y</u>
<u>=====</u>
The answer options are too garbled for me to make sense of them. Are they:
1. 2 y minus 5 x minus one-half 2 y : 2y -5x - (1/2)2y; <u>y -5x</u> ?
2. 2 x Negative 2 x minus one-half 6 y : 2(-2x)- (1/2)6y; <u>-4x - 3y</u> ?
3. 3 x Negative 3 x minus three-fourths 4 y : 3x(-3x) - (3/4)4y; <u>-9x -3y</u> ?
4. one-fourth Negative 3 y minus three-fourths 7 y one-fourth minus 3 x:
(1/4)(-3y) - (3/4)7y - (1/4)(-3x); -(3/4)y -(21/4)y + (3/4)x; -(24/4)y + (3/4)x; ?
I don't see any of the answers as equivalent to <u>-3x - 2y, so please check my interpretations of the answer options.</u>
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Red marbles = 3,
Green marbles = 10,
So, the total marbles = 3 + 10 = 13,

Since, here replacement is not allowed,
Thus, the probability of getting a green marble and a red marble
= first red and second green + first green second red




Note : The probability of getting a green marble first and a red marble second
= 


I'll leave the computation via R to you. The

, so that

each with mean/expectation
![E[W_i]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty wf_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac w{10i}\,\mathrm dw=5i](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BW_i%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20wf_%7BW_i%7D%28w%29%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D%5Cint_0%5E%7B10i%7D%5Cfrac%20w%7B10i%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D5i)
and variance
![\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=E[(W_i-E[W_i])^2]=E[{W_i}^2]-E[W_i]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_i%5D%3DE%5B%28W_i-E%5BW_i%5D%29%5E2%5D%3DE%5B%7BW_i%7D%5E2%5D-E%5BW_i%5D%5E2)
We have
![E[{W_i}^2]=\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty w^2f_{W_i}(w)\,\mathrm dw=\int_0^{10i}\frac{w^2}{10i}\,\mathrm dw=\frac{100i^2}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5B%7BW_i%7D%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdisplaystyle%5Cint_%7B-%5Cinfty%7D%5E%5Cinfty%20w%5E2f_%7BW_i%7D%28w%29%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D%5Cint_0%5E%7B10i%7D%5Cfrac%7Bw%5E2%7D%7B10i%7D%5C%2C%5Cmathrm%20dw%3D%5Cfrac%7B100i%5E2%7D3)
so that
![\mathrm{Var}[W_i]=\dfrac{25i^2}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_i%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B25i%5E2%7D3)
Now,
![E[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[W_1]+E[W_2]+E[W_3]=5+10+15=30](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3DE%5BW_1%5D%2BE%5BW_2%5D%2BE%5BW_3%5D%3D5%2B10%2B15%3D30)
and
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E\left[\big((W_1+W_2+W_3)-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]\big)^2\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3DE%5Cleft%5B%5Cbig%28%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29-E%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%5Cbig%29%5E2%5Cright%5D)
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]-E[W_1+W_2+W_3]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3DE%5B%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29%5E2%5D-E%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%5E2)
We have

![E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5B%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29%5E2%5D)
![=E[{W_1}^2]+E[{W_2}^2]+E[{W_3}^2]+2(E[W_1]E[W_2]+E[W_1]E[W_3]+E[W_2]E[W_3])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3DE%5B%7BW_1%7D%5E2%5D%2BE%5B%7BW_2%7D%5E2%5D%2BE%5B%7BW_3%7D%5E2%5D%2B2%28E%5BW_1%5DE%5BW_2%5D%2BE%5BW_1%5DE%5BW_3%5D%2BE%5BW_2%5DE%5BW_3%5D%29)
because
and
are independent when
, and so
![E[(W_1+W_2+W_3)^2]=\dfrac{100}3+\dfrac{400}3+300+2(50+75+150)=\dfrac{3050}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E%5B%28W_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%29%5E2%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B100%7D3%2B%5Cdfrac%7B400%7D3%2B300%2B2%2850%2B75%2B150%29%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3050%7D3)
giving a variance of
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{3050}3-30^2=\dfrac{350}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3050%7D3-30%5E2%3D%5Cdfrac%7B350%7D3)
and so the standard deviation is 
# # #
A faster way, assuming you know the variance of a linear combination of independent random variables, is to compute
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D)
![=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]+2(\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_2]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_1,W_3]+\mathrm{Cov}[W_2,W_3])](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_2%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_3%5D%2B2%28%5Cmathrm%7BCov%7D%5BW_1%2CW_2%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BCov%7D%5BW_1%2CW_3%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BCov%7D%5BW_2%2CW_3%5D%29)
and since the
are independent, each covariance is 0. Then
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\mathrm{Var}[W_1]+\mathrm{Var}[W_2]+\mathrm{Var}[W_3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3D%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_2%5D%2B%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_3%5D)
![\mathrm{Var}[W_1+W_2+W_3]=\dfrac{25}3+\dfrac{100}3+75=\dfrac{350}3](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cmathrm%7BVar%7D%5BW_1%2BW_2%2BW_3%5D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B25%7D3%2B%5Cdfrac%7B100%7D3%2B75%3D%5Cdfrac%7B350%7D3)
and take the square root to get the standard deviation.
