The sum of the probabilities should be equal to 1. Given the information provided, we can calculate the value of x by subtracting the sum of the given probabilities from 1.

Sum of given probabilities = 0.25 + 0.18 + 0.30 + 0.17 = 0.90
x = 1 - 0.90 = 0.10

Therefore, the value of x is 0.10.
Use the table to answer the question.

Number of White Balls Selected Number of Red Balls Selected
Bowl A 45 55
Bowl B 60 40
Bowls A and B contain a number of white and red balls. Clark repeatedly selected a ball from both bowls and recorded the results in a table. If there are 500 balls in Bowl B, what is the estimated difference in the expected number of white and red balls in Bowl B?

To estimate the expected number of white balls in Bowl B, we can use the proportion of white balls in Bowl A:

Number of white balls in Bowl A = 45
Total number of balls in Bowl A = 45 + 55 = 100

Proportion of white balls in Bowl A = 45/100 = 0.45

If Bowl B contains 500 balls, then the estimated number of white balls in Bowl B would be:
Number of white balls in Bowl B = 0.45 * 500 = 225

Similarly, the estimated number of red balls in Bowl B would be:
Number of red balls in Bowl B = 500 - 225 = 275

The estimated difference in the expected number of white and red balls in Bowl B is:
Difference = Number of white balls in Bowl B - Number of red balls in Bowl B
Difference = 225 - 275
Difference = -50

Therefore, the estimated difference in the expected number of white and red balls in Bowl B is 50 (Note that it is negative which means there are fewer white balls expected than red balls in Bowl B).
