Answer:

6 red balls

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability in the first pick

6/21

The probability in the second pick (without replacement)

5/20

the requested probability

(6/21)(5/20) = 30/420

simplification

30/420 = 3/42 = 1/14

Hope this helps

Answer:

6 red balls.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are x red balls then

probability of 2 red balls

= x/21 * (x - 1)/20 = 1/14

x^2 - x / 420 = 1/14

x^2 - x = 30

x^2 - x - 30 = 0

(x - 6)(x + 5) = 0

x = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

It can help to plot these temperatures on a number line. The ones farther to the left are less than ones to their right.

__

16. -197 < -110 . . . Uranus < Jupiter

__

17. 167 > -65 . . . Mercury > Mars

__

18. Reading the graph from right to left, the order greatest to least is ...

Rosa climbs a 16-meter tower to ride a straight water slide. After landing in the slash pool, she walks 9 meters back to the bas
erastova [34]

Answer:

The length of slide is 18.36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right-angled triangle where

The height of tower id perpendicular, the distance between slash pool and base of tower is base and the length of slide will be hypotenuse.

Height of tower = h = 16 meters

Distance between slash pool and base of tower = b = 9 meters

Length of slide = s = ?

As it is a right angled triangle, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of slide

Pythagoras theorem states that:

(Hypotenuse)^2 = (Base)^2+(Perpendicular)^2\\s^2 = b^2+h^2\\s^2 = (9)^2+(16)^2\\s^2 = 81+256\\s^2 = 337\\s^2 = 18.36\ meters

Hence,

The length of slide is 18.36 meters
