He will have more than sufficient, as he only has to account for an area of 84.1425 square feet.
Correct question:
An urn holds 3 red and 7 black balls. Players A and B take turns withdrawing balls until a red one is chosen. Calculate the probability that A picks the red ball. (A goes first, followed by B, with no replacement of drawn balls).
Answer:
The likelihood that A picks the red ball is 58.33 %
Step-by-step explanation:
A will select the red ball if it is drawn 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th.
1st draw: 9C2
3rd draw: 7C2
5th draw: 5C2
7th draw: 3C2
Calculating for all possible scenarios gives us:
9C2 = (9!) / (7!2!) = 36
7C2 = (7!) / (5!2!) = 21
5C2 = (5!) / (3!2!) = 10
3C2 = (3!) / (2!) = 3
Adding these possibilities results in 36 + 21 + 10 + 3 = 70.
The total outcomes for selecting a red ball = 10C3
10C3 = (10!) / (7!3!)
= 120.
The probability that A selects the red ball is determined by dividing the sum of possible events by the overall outcomes.
P( A selects the red ball) = 70 / 120
= 0.5833
= 58.33 %
The pot has the capability to hold 1/3 more than its current level. Therefore, 1/3 of 5 1/2 quarts equals:
(1/3)(11/2) = 11/6 quarts. Thus, the total capacity of the pot is 11/6 quarts.
Answer:
Darnell reads 1,715 words in 7 minutes.
Step by step Explanation:
1. First, determine how many words he can read in a minute by dividing 735 words by 3. The result is 245.
245
______
3)735
6 drop the 3 to form 13
-_____
1 3
12 drop the 5 to make 15
-______
1 5
15
___________
0
2. Next, since he reads 735 words over 3 minutes, multiply that by 2 to find words read in 7 minutes: 3×2=6, thus, 735+735 (735×2) equals 1,470 words.
3. Finally, add 245 to account for the last minute we calculated. Therefore, the total is 1,715 words in 7 minutes.
Answer:
2.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance equals speed multiplied by time. For constant distance, time varies inversely with speed. When traveling at 60/50 = 6/5 times the original speed, the return journey takes 5/6 of the initial duration:
(5/6)(3 hours) = 2.5 hours... return trip duration
