lol now we are doing probability?

rootbeer003:

mhm

satellite73:

there are 50 numbers written in blue, and another 9 between 1 and 9 in red, for a grand total of 59 out of the 100 the probability is \(\frac{59}{100}=0.59=59\%\)

rootbeer003:

Do i write all that?

satellite73:

for the second one, there are 50 written in red, plus 3 more that are multiples of 20, namely 60,80, and 100 for a total of 53 out of 100 the probability is \[\frac{53}{100}=0.53=53\%\]

satellite73:

you can write whatever you like put it in your own words, but you do not need too many words because it is basically arithmetic

"multiples of 20" not "multiples to 21"

satellite73:

in the fraction bar next to the "penny" fill in 15/25 since there are 15 pennies and 25 coins total

m confused u do it

satellite73:

i just said what to do, there should be no confusion there 15/25

satellite73:

next to the pennies

satellite73:

guess what goes next to the nickles?

satellite73:

yay

rootbeer003:

whats next

satellite73:

guess what goes next to the nickles?

Ultrilliam:

Don't mind this random comment: Grats on 90 rootbeer x'D

rootbeer003:

thanks, even tho i dont help anyone.. lol

satellite73:

@Ultrilliam why don't you go ahead and say what goes next to the nickles

rootbeer003:

lolllllll u act like an annoying teacher

Ultrilliam:

Because I'm legit in the middle of taking a english test LOL

satellite73:

oh have fun

satellite73:

lets not always see the same hands...

satellite73:

@rootbeer003 how many nickles are there, i forget

rootbeer003:

@satellite73 idK

satellite73:

then you can't do this

rootbeer003:

:(

satellite73:

if you don't know the number of coins of each kind, this is impossible

rootbeer003:

1. A container holds 15 pennies, 8 nickels, and 10 dimes. You will randomly select two coins without replacement. (a) Fill in the probabilities on each branch of the tree diagram. (b) Use the tree diagram to answer the following: How many ways can you select the coins? How many way can you select exactly 1 nickel? What is the probability that you select 2 pennies? What is the probability that you select a dime and then a penny?

satellite73:

lol

rootbeer003:

8

satellite73:

doh

satellite73:

and how many coins total?

rootbeer003:

33

satellite73:

oh then a made a mistake next to the pennies goes \[\frac{15}{33}\] next to the nickles goes \[\frac{8}{33}\]

rootbeer003:

seriously

satellite73:

yeah and guess what goes next to the dimes?

rootbeer003:

10/33

satellite73:

bingo

satellite73:

nice handwriting

satellite73:

now on the next part one coin is already selected, so all the denominators will be 32

rootbeer003:

y r u making me write this dumb Cake

satellite73:

next the the pennies will be the following three \[\frac{14}{32}\\ \frac{8}{32}\\ \frac{10}{32}\]

satellite73:

i'll let you figure out what goes for the next three next to the nickel, i have to go see a man about a horse

rootbeer003:

r u serious

rootbeer003:

hello?

rootbeer003:

@satellite73

satellite73:

did you figure it out?

rootbeer003:

No

satellite73:

what do you have so far?

rootbeer003:

i legit sat here waiting 4 u

satellite73:

but i already told you what goes next to the pennies on the right layer

rootbeer003:

1 attachment
satellite73:

yes good the reason the denominators are all 32 is because one coin is already picked the reason the numerator for the pennies is 14 instead of 15 is because in that part of the tree, the first coin chosen was a penny, leavening 14 left

satellite73:

for the next one, next the the nickles will be \[\frac{15}{32}\\ \frac{7}{32}\\ \frac{10}{32}\]

satellite73:

7 for the nickles because in that part of the tree the first one chosen was a nickel

satellite73:

you can do the last three

rootbeer003:

i still dont get it

satellite73:

oh

rootbeer003:

im stupid

satellite73:

no, just not trying or reading or whatever you need to do do you understand how the diagram works?

satellite73:

|dw:1496888653860:dw|

satellite73:

those numbers represent the probability you get a penny, nickel or dime respectively it is the number of each divided by the total number of coins

satellite73:

|dw:1496888804176:dw|

satellite73:

the numbers represent the probability you pick a penny, nickel or dime given that the first pick was a penny

satellite73:

what do you have filled in so far?

rootbeer003:

satellite73:

ok last one \[\frac{15}{32}\\ \frac{8}{32}\\ \frac{9}{32}\]

rootbeer003:

satellite73:

oooh kay

satellite73:

How many ways can you select the coins? ambiguous, but i think they want you to say 9, the number of boxes on the right

rootbeer003:

So 9?

satellite73:

yeah 9

rootbeer003:

Do i gotta put that?

satellite73:

How many way can you select exactly 1 nickel? 1) penny, nickel 2) nickel, penny 3) nickel, dime 4) dime, nickel four ways

satellite73:

What is the probability that you select 2 pennies?\[\frac{15}{33}\times \frac{14}{32}\] whatever that is, reduced etc

satellite73:

What is the probability that you select a dime and then a penny? \[\frac{10}{33}\times \frac{15}{32}\] reduced etc

satellite73:

gotta run, ttyl
