11 black balls and 14 white balls are placed in an urn. two balls are then drawn in succession. what is the probability that the second ball drawn is a white ball if the second ball is drawn without replacing the first ball?

The probability that the second ball drawn is a white ball if the second ball is drawn without replacing the first ball is;

P(second ball being white) = 42/75

We are told there are;

Number of black balls = 11

Number of white balls = 14

Total number of balls = 25 balls

Since 2 balls are drawn without replacement, then;

possible number of ways of drawing the two balls = 25 × 24 = 600

Now, to find the probability of drawing two white balls;

Probability the first ball being white and second white = (14/25 × 13/24) = 91/300

Probability of the first ball being black and the second being white = (11/25 × 14/24) = 77/300

Thus;

P(second ball being white) = (91/300) + (77/300)

P(second ball being white) = 168/300 = 42/75

a.   we have two

lines:   y = 4-x   and  

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b.   4-x = 8-x^-1

  x           4-x       8-x^-1

-3           7        

8.33

-2           6         8.5

-1           5         9

  0           4

  2           2        

7.5

  3           1         7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:  

x=-4.236

y = 4-x   = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 =   .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

  y = 4-x   = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 =   8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c.   to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x   and   y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines.   the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.
