Five marbles are randomly selected, one at a time (without return), from a bowl of 100 marbles (20 green, 30 blue, 10 yellow, and 40 black). What is the probability that all five marbles are black?

Let K = black. The bowl has 40 black marbles (we don't care what color the other marbles are because success is black only), so the probability of getting black is P(K) = 40/100 on the first selected marble. Because selection is (without return), the P(K) has changed for following selections. Now, there are 99 marbles and black is dependent upon whether first marble was black, or not... and so on.... Therefore, conditional probability! The probability that event B occurs, given that event A has already occurred is: Formula = P(A\B) = P(A and B)/P(B). P(A\9139/1045660) = (40/100)(39/99)(38/98)(37/97)(36/96) = 78960960/9034502400 = 9139/1045660 Answer: 9139/1045660 <result>B</result>

Mean: If all values are multiplied by -6 then their sum will also be multiplied by -6 so Mean will also get -6 Variance: Variance is equal to (Sum of (Square of (the difference between mean and individual values))/Total number of values When we multiply all the values by -6 then the difference between the mean and the individual values also gets multiplied by -6 and the square of that difference becomes 36. So, the variance gets multiplied by a factor of 36 SD: Standard Deviation is the square root of variance so sqrt(36)=6. So SD gets multiplied by a factor of 6. So, answer will be -6,36,6. <result>D</result>
