probability, Check please? I will post a picture of the question below

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

for 35. C 36. A ...and if that is wrong my second choice is D 37. C ...but my second choice would be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi! What have you done so far?

OpenStudy (boldjon):

yeah i would put b for 37 but the others look right

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

thank you for looking :)

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

@jim_thompson5910 could you double check jus to be on the super safe side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no direct answers!

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

@pink33 he didn't give me direct answers, he simply check what I already had and agreed :) don't worry!

OpenStudy (boldjon):

-_- why u always on my back pink

35) 24+15 = 39 letters total 15 consonants out of 39 letters P(constant) = 15/39 Once the tile is taken out, a replacement is made. So you'd still have 39 letters 24 vowels out of 39 letters P(vowel) = 24/39 P(constant then vowel) = P(constant)*P(vowel) ... only works if events are independent P(constant then vowel) = (15/39)*(24/39) P(constant then vowel) = (15*24)/(39*39) P(constant then vowel) = 360/1521 P(constant then vowel) = 40/169 So 40/169 is the correct answer for problem 35

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

Okay, I wrote that down :)

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

for 36 I chose A, because it said HE DID NOT REPLACE THE BILL but D is my backup answer just in case

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

36) 3 ones + 4 fives + 2 tens = 3+4+2 = 9 bills total P($10) = (# of tens)/(# bills total) P($10) = 2/9 No replacements are made, so P($1) is going to be different. In this case, there is one less bill so there are 9-1 = 8 bills total P($1 based on previous event) = (# of ones)/(# of bills left over) P($1 based on previous event) = 3/8 Multiply the two values (2/9)*(3/8) = 6/72 = 1/12 so you have the correct answer for #36

OpenStudy (bookworm14):

awesome, thank you!

OpenStudy (reemii):

For #37, orange->5/15 ; apple->7/14 (1/3) * (1/2) = 1/6. Your answer is right. C.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

37) P(jonas gets an orange) = (# of oranges)/(# of fruit total) P(jonas gets an orange) = 5/15 P(jonas gets an orange) = 1/3 NO replacements are made. So there's 15-1 = 14 pieces of fruit left P(beth gets apple based on prev event) = (# of apples)/(# of fruit left over) P(beth gets apple based on prev event) = 7/14 P(beth gets apple based on prev event) = 1/2 Multiply the values (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6 #37 is also correct

Awesome!! I am gonna finish up my other questions like these, but there are some much harder questions I will end up posting in a few lol thank you so much to everyone involved in helping me out!
