Here are all the independent probabilities that would get us a good outcome (black on the 4th pick): P(BBBB) = 5/8 * 4/7 * 3/6 * 2/5 = 1/14 P(YBBB) = 3/8 * 5/7 * 4/6 * 3/5 = 3/28 Since (BYBB) and (BBYB) are also good outcomes, total number of ways to get 1 yellow with black on the 4th pick = 3 * 3/...

"every homeowner" sounded too extreme in option B because there could be home-owners who do NOT fall in either of the categories - 1) who bought the house 11 years ago, and 2) who bought the house the house this year. Maybe there are house-owners who bought the house before 11 yrs ago or i...

Experts, Please help here: Still confused between D and E and D sounds only better of the two to me for the reason below: E would’ve sounded better if it was slightly different: [E] Newborn marsupial lions would not have had only their forelimbs developed if this development were *not for climbing...

@iongmat, very interesting sentence indeed. A mixture of poems and short fiction, Jean Toomer’s Cane has been called one of the three best novels ever written by a Black American-the others being Richard Wright’s Native Son and Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man . This is a correct sentence. It is...

Experts, Could you please explain why's B correct? B: If Proposition 13 is repealed, every homeowner is likely to experience a substantial increase in property taxes. With Proposition 13. a 75,000 flat (11 years ago) --> $914 tax a 200,000 flat (now) --> $2000 Option B is too specific to be correct ...

Hi Divine Acclivity, I think I see the issue; you're interpreting the words "can be" to mean "must be." I read answer C to mean "The new R-Computer can be used with other computers", meaning that the R-Computer is compatible with other computers. This information doesn...

Thank you Rich for your reply. I don't understand why C is not a weakener, especially because of the clause "in conjunction with other high-priced computers". My thought process: C says the R-computers can be used in conjunction with higher-priced computers of other companies (sounds like ...

That makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for the explanation. Could you also please give a similar explanation to eliminate option D?
