There is a bag filled with 5 blue, 6 red and 2 green marbles. A marble is taken at random from the bag, the colour is noted and then it is replaced. Another marble is taken at random. What is the probability of getting exactly 1 blue? Find the total number of marbles in the bag: Total marbles = 5 blue + 6 red + 2 green Total marbles = 13 The problem asks for exactly one blue in 2 draws [I]with replacement[/I]. Which means you could draw as follows: Blue, Not Blue Not Blue, Blue The probability of drawing a blue is 5/13, since we replace the marbles in the bag each time. The probability of not drawing a blue is (6 + 2)/13 = 8/13 And since each of the 2 draws are independent of each other, we multiply the probability of each draw: Blue, Not Blue = 5/13 * 8/13 =40/169 Not Blue, Blue = 8/13 * 5/13 = 40/169 We add both probabilities since they both count under our scenario: 40/169 + 40/169 = 80/169 Checking our [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/fraction.php?frac1=80%2F169&frac2=3%2F8&pl=Simplify']fraction simplification calculator[/URL], we see you cannot simplify this fraction anymore.

True or False (a) The normal distribution curve is always symmetric to its mean. (b) If the variance from a data set is zero, then all the observations in this data set are identical. (c) P(A AND A^c)=1, where A^c is the complement of A. (d) In a hypothesis testing, if the p-value is less than the significance level ?, we do not have sufficient evidence to reject the null hypothesis. (e) The volume of milk in a jug of milk is 128 oz. The value 128 is from a discrete data set. [B](a) True, it's a bell curve symmetric about the mean (b) True, variance measures how far a set of numbers is spread out. A variance of zero indicates that all the values are identical (c) True. P(A) is the probability of an event and P(Ac) is the complement of the event, or any event that is not A. So either A happens or it does not. It covers all possible events in a sample space. (d) False, we have sufficient evidence to reject H0. (e) False. Volume can be a decimal or fractional. There are multiple values between 127 and 128. So it's continuous.[/B]
