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 %

Sever21 [200]

Hey there!

Each step is three feet. This can be represented by 3s= feet. We can plug that in to figure out our side lengths.

20(3)=60

40(3)=120

Now we can multiply these two together to get the area.

120(60)= 7,200

Therefore, his backyard is about 7,200 square feet.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to solving this question is to find the distance bwtween the two points given

distance=y2-y1/x2-x1

(2,4)(4,8)

2=x1,4=y1

4=x2

8=y2

8-4/4-2

4/2=2

The depth of the water is increasing by 2 ft each minute

The tables represent two linear functions in a system.<br><br> What is the solution to this system?
Darya [45]

The solution to this system is (x, y) = (8, -22).

The y-values get closer together by 2 units for each 2-unit increase in x. The difference at x=2 is 6, so we expect the difference in y-values to be zero when we increase x by 6 (from 2 to 8).

You can extend each table after the same pattern.

In table 1, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 8.

In table 2, x-values increase by 2 and y-values decrease by 6.

The attachment shows the tables extended to x=10. We note that the y-values are the same (-22) for x=8 (as we predicted above). That means the solution is ...

... (x, y) = (8, -22)

Find the quotient of 2,300 and (0.4 · 10^-8). In your final answer, include all of your calculations.
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

5.75x10^11

Step-by-step explanation:

quotient of 2,300 and (0.4x10^-8) is

2,300 ÷ (0.4x10^-8)

2300 = 2.3x10^3

We now have

2.3x10^3 / 0.4x10^-8

= (2.3/0.4) x ( 10^(3 - (-8))

= 5.75 x (10^(3+8))

= 5.75 x (10^11)

= 5.75x10^11

Please mark brainliest if helpful. Thanks
