You can put this solution on YOUR website!Odds are given as outcomes for the event to outcomes against the event.
29 outcomes he wins, 3 outcomes he loses.
Probabilities are given differently.

Probability-and-statistics/312755: A bag contains 5 yellow marbles, 16 green marbles, and 2 red marbles. What is the chance of drawing a red marble? If a red marble is drawn the first time and then a second marble is drawn without replacement, what is the probability of drawing a yellow marble? Give solutions exactly in reduced fraction from separated by a comma?

Answer 223608 by Fombitz(13828) on 2010-06-09 08:13:01 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!5 yellow, Y
16 green, G
2 red, R
Add them up to get 23 total marbles.
P(event)=number of outcomes of that event/total outcomes.
.
.
.
1. So the chance of drawing a red marble is,
P(R)=Red Marbles/Total Marbles= 
.
.
.
Once you chose a red marble and don't replace it, the marble count changes, you then have 1 red marble and 22 total marbles. The probability of picking a red then changes to
P(R)=  .
The total probability of picking two reds in a row is the product of both probabilities.
P(2 R)= 
.
.
.
P(Y)=Yellow marbles/Total marbles= 
.
.
.
Just for fun,
P(G)=Green marbles/Total marbles=  .
Also note,
P(Y)+P(R)+P(G)= 
which means that picking a marble gives you 100% chance of picking either a yellow one, a red one, or a green one, since those are the only choices available.

Linear_Equations_And_Systems_Word_Problems/312710: an airplane is 12000 ft horizontally from the airport. the slanted distance to the airport is 13000 ft. what is the plane's altitude?
i need to know what formula to use, not necessarly the answer. I would really appreciate it. thanks!!! 1 solutions
Answer 223583 by Fombitz(13828) on 2010-06-09 00:11:04 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!The altitude and the horizontal distance are legs of a right triangle where the slanted distance is the hypotenuse.
Use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the altitude since the hypotenuse and the long leg of the triangle are known.
Good luck!
