Without looking, Luke picks necklace beads from a bag of 52 beads. Half the beads are rough. The other half are smooth. There are 13 red beads, 13 blue beads, 13 green beads, and 13 black beads. What is the theoretical probability of selecting a blue bead? Write the probability as a fraction in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The total no of beads is 52

there 13-red,13-blue,13-green, and 13-black

favorable outcomes to select a blue bead is 13

Total outcomes are 52

Probability is given by

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
