Question
A box contains 10 red balls, 12 green balls, and 8 blue
balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that both balls drawn are either red or green?Solution
Total balls = 10 + 12 + 8 = 30. P(both red or green) = P(both red) + P(both green). P(both red) = (10/30) * (9/29) = 90/870. P(both green) = (12/30) * (11/29) = 132/870. P(both red or green) = 90/870 + 132/870 = 222/870 = 37/145. Correct Option: d
Which numerical method approximates the definite integral of a function by dividing the area under the curve into trapezoids?
In numerical computing, what type of error occurs when a continuous function is approximated by a discrete sum or a finite number of terms?
Which statistical measure quantifies the average squared deviation of each data point from the mean?
The Newton-Raphson method is an iterative technique primarily used for:
The "standard deviation" is the square root of which other statistical measure?
What does a p-value less than a significance level (e.g., 0.05) typically indicate in hypothesis testing?
Which type of data can be ordered, but the differences between values are not meaningful (e.g., satisfaction ratings: "Good," "Better," "Best")?
