Find the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row from a bag that contains 40 brown M&Ms out of 350 M&Ms total. Note that as you choose
them, you immediately eat them.

The the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row and eat them immediately is 0.0014.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to find the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row and they are eaten immediately after selecting them, this implies that we are dealing with a probability of without replacement.

Without replacement means the number of brown M&Ms and the total M&Ms decreases by one as we select one each in a row.

Therefore, we have:

Probability of selecting the first brown M&M without replacement = 40 / 350

Probability of selecting the second brown M&M without replacement = 39 / 349

Probability of selecting the third brown M&M without replacement = 38 / 348

Let B represents the the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row. Therefore, we have:

B = (40 / 350) * (39 / 349) * (38 / 348) = 0.114285714285714 * 0.111747851002865 * 0.109195402298851 = 0.00139455446243313

Approximating to 4 decimal places, we have:

B = 0.0014

Therefore, the the probability of randomly choosing three brown M&Ms in a row and eat them immediately is 0.0014.

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
