Betty picks 4 random marbles from a bowl containing 3 white, 4 yellow, and 5 blue marbles. The probability that exactly 1 of the 4 marbles drawn is blue is ? The probability that at least 1 of the 4 marbles drawn is white is ?

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

well right of the bat we know the chances of getting one blue marble in one pull, 5/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

put your answr chices

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

in the first question the odds are against us

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

so it will be less than 5/12

question 1 choices 0.0707 0.2135 0.3535 0.6465

OpenStudy (anonymous):

question 2 choices 0.2181 0.2546 0.5090 0.7455

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

for the first question we know it is not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

i would go with b, the chances are not as good as .35, but not as bad as .07 but i am not 100% sure on this one

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

for question 2 we know it is either c or d just by the fact that drawing a bluw is .416 chance

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

but atleast one that boosts are chances

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

so i would go with d as .5 isnt much better than .42.

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

but these answers unlike the last ones, might not be 100% correct

OpenStudy (jennyrlz):

i just used the process of elimination
