Since there are equal of each and there are four colors it is out of four, now because it is an equal amount of each color and there are two colors then there is a 2/4 chance of pulling a red or blue marble.
Answer: Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Let A be the event of getting a faulty switch.
Let B be the event of getting a defective cord.
Here, P(A∪B) = 4% = 0.04
P(A∩B) = 0.1% = 0.001
P(A) = 2.5% = 0.025
We need to find P(B):
As we know that
Hence, Probability that a coffee maker will have a defective cord is 0.376=37.6%.
Correct question:
An urn contains 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B withdraw balls from the urn consecutively until a red ball is selected. Find the probability that A selects the red ball. (A draws the first ball, then B, and so on. There is no replacement of the balls drawn).
Answer:
The probability that A selects the red ball is 58.33 %
Step-by-step explanation:
A selects the red ball if the first red ball is drawn 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th
1st selection: 9C2
3rd selection: 7C2
5th selection: 5C2
7th selection: 3C2
9C2 = (9!) / (7!2!) = 36
7C2 = (7!) / (5!2!) = 21
5C2 = (5!) / (3!2!) = 10
3C2 = (3!) / (2!) = 3
sum of all the possible events = 36 + 21 + 10 + 3 = 70
Total possible outcome of selecting the red ball = 10C3
10C3 = (10!) / (7!3!)
= 120
The probability that A selects the red ball is sum of all the possible events divided by the total possible outcome.
P( A selects the red ball) = 70 / 120
= 0.5833
= 58.33 %
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Let l be Lyle's height, h be Harry's height and v be Vince's height.
Thus, we can write:
Lyle's Height =
Harry's height =
Putting the value in the equation:
Thus, Vince's height is 3.5 feet.
