Step-by-step explanation:

in total we have 3+4 = 7 balls.

when we draw the first ball, the probability to draw a red ball is 3/7, and a blue ball 4/7.

when we draw the second ball, we have now only 6 balls in total.

the probabilty to draw a red back now depends also on the result of the first draw.

if the first ball was already red, then we have only a chance now of 2 out of 6.

if the first ball was blue, then we have now a chance of 3 out of 6.

so, the probably to draw at least 1 red ball in 2 draws is the probability of drawing one on the first draw plus the probability of drawing one on the second :

1 - probability to see 2 blue balls

1 - 4/7 × 3/6 = 1 - 12/42 = 30/42 = 0.714285714...

the expected number of red balls in 2 draws is

1 red in first red in first red in second

but not second and second but not first

1×(3/7 × 4/6) + 2×(3/7 × 2/6) + 1×(4/7 × 3/6) = 12/42 + 12/42 + 12/42 = 36/42 = 6/7 = 0.857142857 ≈ 0.8571

What role do individuals play in a capitalist system?
Vitek1552 [10]
The very rich control the market and decide what industries to invest in or lend money too. They influence the government so that they don't have to pay very much in taxes, which would support the nation's infrastructure, & provide jobs. The middle class works hard to produce products, and also spends money on products, which helps to make the rich investors even more wealthy. The poor are typically unable to compete in a capitalist economy (for a number of reasons), & require public assistance to survive.

y = 4x-3

-3 = 4(4) -3

-3 = 16-3

-3 = 13  false

-19 = 4(-4) -3

-19 = -16-3

-19 -19   true
