There is a bag filled with 5 blue and 6 red 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 2 of the same colour?

There are 6+5 marbles.

Of those, 5 are red.

The chances of drawing a red marble are 5/11

Since you replace the marble you drew, the chances each draw remain 5/11

You cannot draw two red marbles without drawing a red marble on your first draw, so the odds of you making a second draw are 5/11. The odds of that also being red are 5/11… but we only care about that 5/11ths the time

5/11*5/11=25/121

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%

step-by-step explanation:

under the capital asset pricing model (capm), the required or expected rate of return for a particular security or asset is given using the formula:

required rate of return = risk-free rate + beta*(market risk premium)

we are given that;

risk-free rate = 4% = 0.04

beta = 1.4

market risk premium = 9% = 0.09

we simply plug these values into the above formula;

required rate of return = 0.04 + 1.4*(0.09)

required rate of return = 0.04 + 0.126

required rate of return = 0.166 = 16.6%
