For each lecture the professor chooses between white, yellow, and purple chalk, independently of previous choices. Each day she chooses white chalk with probability 0.5, yellow chalk with probability 0.4, and purple chalk with prob- ability 0.1. (a) What is the probability that over the next 10 days she will choose white chalk 5 times, yellow chalk 4 times, and purple chalk 1 time

step-by-step explanation:

(3rd option) - c

we can set up an equation to find the girls' ages. the equation is         28=0.5x-5+x. (comment if you need me to explain how i got this equation.) so, you add x and 0.5x to get 1.5x and add 5 to each side. your new equation is 33=1.5x. now divide both sides of the equation by 1.5 to get 22=x. because x is mary's age, to find jasmine's age we subtract mary's age from 28. we find that mary is 22 years old and jasmine is 6 years old.

the result can be shown in both exact and decimal forms.

exact form; 76 · 75, 4911, 4935, 711, 735

decimal form: 5700, 4911, 4935, 711, 735
