Algebra.Com's Answer #259475 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are 4 white balls and 8 black balls in a box. If four balls are randomly selected. The probability that exactly 2 balls are white is: \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Ans: \n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 white: 4C2 = 6 ways \n" ); document.write( "Pick 2 black: 8C2 = 28 ways \n" ); document.write( "Pick 4 balls randomly: 12C4= 495 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "P(exactly 2 white in 4) = (6*28)/495 = 0.339\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a) 0.339 \n" ); document.write( "b) 0.406 \n" ); document.write( "c) 0.452 \n" ); document.write( "d) Other:_______ \n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------------------------ \n" ); document.write( "The average number of black balls obtained when four balls are randomly selected is: \n" ); document.write( "P(black) = 8/12 = 2/3 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "Average black of 4 = (2/3)4 = 2.667 \n" ); document.write( "--------------------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "--------------------- \n" ); document.write( "a) 2.333 \n" ); document.write( "b) 1.333 \n" ); document.write( "c) 2.667 \n" ); document.write( "d) Other : ______________\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
