An urn contains 17 white balls and 18 red balls. A sample of four balls is selected at random from the urn. What is the probability that the sample contains two white balls and two red ones?

a. 0.0286
b. 0.2286
c. 0.3974
d. 0.0944
e. 0.0442
f. None of the above.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. 0.3974

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

number of white balls, W = 17

number of red balls, R = 18

Total number of balls, T = 35

The number of ways the event will occur is given by

= P(2 whites) and P(2 reds)

= P(2whites) x P(2 reds)

= 17C2 x 18C2

= 136 x 153

= 20,808

The total number of possible outcome

= 35C4

= 52,360

The probability = 20,808 / 52,360

                          = 0.3974

The correct option is "C"

Answer 2

Probability that the sample contains two white balls and two red ones is equal to 0.3974.

So, option c. is correct.

Permutations and combinations

Probability is a discipline of mathematics concerned with numerical explanations of the likelihood of an event occurring or the truth of a claim.

Number of white balls [tex]=\boldsymbol{17}[/tex]

Number of red balls [tex]=\boldsymbol{18}[/tex]

Total number of balls [tex]=\boldsymbol{35}[/tex]

Probability that the sample contains two white balls and two red ones  

[tex]=\frac{\binom{17}{2}\binom{18}{2}}{\binom{35}{4}}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{\frac{17!}{15!2!}\frac{18!}{16!2!}}{\binom{35!}{31!4!}}[/tex]

[tex]=\boldsymbol{0.3974}[/tex]

So, option c. is correct.

For what values of k does the function y = cos(kt) satisfy the differential equation 81y'' = â16y? (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)K = ______

Answers

Answer:

16/81

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression, 81y'' = -16y where y = coskt,

We want to know the value of k that satisfies the expression

y' = -ksinkt

y" = -k²coskt

Substitute y and y" into the expression given;

81y'' = -16y

81(-k²coskt) = -16(kcoskt)

-81k = -16

Divide both sides by -81

-81k/-81 = -16/-81

k = 16/81

Hence the value of k is 16/81

How many strings of five English letters that start with two consecutive vowels (A,E,I,O, or U) have no repeated letters

Answers

Answer:

242880

Step-by-step explanation:

In the English alphabet, we have 5 vowels. To form a string of 5 English letters in which it starts with two consecutive vowels; then we have the following.

                                           

In the first space, 5 vowels are possible.

in the second space, 4 vowels are possible since there is no room for repetition of letters.

Now, the total number of ways of assigning two distinct vowels in the first two spaces = 5 × 4 = 20

From the question, since it is said that the letter starts with two consecutive vowels, it implies that starting from the third letter, it can be filled with all the remaining alphabet, be it a vowel or consonant.

Thus, the remaining alphabet = 26 - 2 = 24 alphabets to fill the 3 remaining spaces, which can be achieved in 24P3 ways.

P(24,3) = 24!/(24-3)!

P(24,3) = 24!/21!

P(24,3) = 24 × 23 × 22 × 21! / 21!

P(24,3) = 24 × 23 × 22

P(24,3) = 12144 ways

Thus, the total number of strings of five  English letters that start with two consecutive vowels without having repeated letters is:

= 5  × 4  ×  24 × 23 × 22

= 242880

 5        4        24          23       22  

Suppose that the batting averages or AVG (hits per at-bat) of all players in the AAA baseball league are normally distributed with a mean of 0.2 and a standard deviation of 0.05. The middle 95% of the player will have a lower bound of:____.a. 0.19.b. 0.03.c. 0.30.d. 0.07.

Answers

Answer:

0.1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving using empirical rule formula

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ .

Hence, the lower bound 95% =

μ - 2σ

Mean = 0.2

Standard deviation of 0.05

= μ - 2σ

= 0.2 - 2(0.05)

= 0.2 - 0.1

= 0.1

The lower bound is 0.1

Answers

Answer:

Mathematical beauty is the aesthetic pleasure typically derived from the abstractness, purity, simplicity, depth or orderliness of mathematics.[1] Mathematicians often express this pleasure by describing mathematics (or, at least, some aspect of mathematics) as beautiful. They might also describe mathematics as an art form (e.g., a position taken by G. H. Hardy[2]) or, at a minimum, as a creative activity. Comparisons are often made with music and poetry.

Answer:

11cm = diameter.

c=circumference

d=diameter

π=3.14

r=half of diameter

34.56

C=2πr

d=2r

Solving for d (diameter)

d=C

π=34.56

π≈11.00079cm

rounded = 11cm!

You promised brainlest! Please!!

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

11.0008

Step-by-step explanation:

“Since we know circumference and diameter are related by π, we can use π to find diameter if we know circumference”

Equations:

C = πd

C/π = d

Therefore:

34.56 = pi(d)

what is the y intercept of f(x)=(1/2)x?​

Answers

Answer: C  (0,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept of a function is when it's x coordinate is zero, so input 0 into the function and solve for f(x)

f(0) = (1/2)^x  

f(0) = (1/2)^0

f(0) = 1     Any number raised to zero is 1  so the y intercept has to be 1.

The answer is C (0,1)

∆ABC has shown above has two given sides indicated, AB and AC, which are congruent to the corresponding two sides l, DC and DB, of ∆DCB.

Also, their third side is also congruent since they share a common side, side BC.

This means that the three sides of ∆ABC is congruent to the three corresponding sides of ∆DCB.

Therefore, ∆ABC is congruent to ∆DCB by the Side-Side-Side Congruence Theorem, which holds that of the three sides of one triangle is congruent to the three corresponding sides of another, then both ∆s are congruent.
