Answer 9

@TragicTruth ? I thought you were gonna help me...?

Answer 10

Didn't get the notification :/

@TragicTruth hello?

Answer 12

Did they give you any multiple choice answers or not?

I'm also researching permutations in a factorial form because i've never had to do them like that

Answer 13

My choices are
A) 4!; 24
B) 4!; 120
C) 5; 120
D) 5!; 720
@TragicTruth

Answer 14

Okay so it looks like 120 because you can do 5*4*3*2*1= 120

Answer 15

so C?

Answer 16

I would say so because there's 5 people

Answer 17

ok, how about this question?

A bag contains tiles with the letters C-O-M-B-I-N-A-T-I-O-N-S. Lee chooses a tile without looking and doesn’t replace it. He chooses a second tile without looking. What is the probability that he will choose the letter O both times?

Answer 35

So once again, count how many letters there are ( 12 )

Answer 36

And how many of those letters are O?

Answer 37

2

Answer 38

Right so the answer is 2/12

thanks, and I swear on my grave and first unborn child these are the last 2 questions!

Answer 46

A bag contains 2 white marbles and 7 purple marbles. Two marbles are drawn at random. One marble is drawn and not replaced. Then a second marble is drawn.
a) What is the probability of selecting a purple marble and then a white marble?
b) what is the probability of selecting two white marbles?
c) Is there a greater chance of selecting two white marbles ina row or two purple marbles in a row?

Answer 47

Haha it's fine, sorry I'm taking so long, I'm working on my own stuff as well :)

Answer 48

its fine! I just need help in Math, your the first person to ever sit down and really help me :)

Answer 49

Okay so there are 9 marbles in total ( 7 + 2 ) and there are 7/9 purple and 2/9 white. So what's your probability of selecting a purple marble? And then a white marble?

Answer 50

i think 63 and 18?

Answer 51

The chances of the first marble being purple is 7/9 because we have 9 marbles in total and 7 of them are purple. But if we take one purple out of the bag, there is only 6/8 left.

7/9 * 6/8 = 7/12

Answer 52

For being able to select two white marbles, just change the numbers to be correct for the white marbles

( 2/9 * 1/8 ) = 1/36

Answer 53

The last question is asking if you think you have a greater chance of picking out two marbles in a row or two purple marbles in a row. The answer is purple because it's 7/12 vs. 1/36 meaning there is more purple ( while there are only 2 white marbles, there are 7 purple marbles )

Answer 54

So we have 1/36 chance of picking white marble?

Answer 55

OMG! MATH GENIOUS!!!!!!

Answer 56

Spelled that wrong

Answer 57

Right, it's a 1/36 chance of picking a white marble :)

Answer 58

I did the math above so in case you need to show it :)

Answer 59

the 2/9 turns to 1/8 because you have 2 white marble out of 9 but if you select one white marble, you're left with only one white marble and only 8 marbles in total.

Answer 60

I hope that made sense ^.^

Answer 61
