Answer:

<em>The probability that the second ball is red is 71%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

We know there are 5 red balls and 2 green balls. Let's analyze what can happen when two balls are drawn in sequence (no reposition).

The first ball can be red (R) or green (G). The probability that it's red is computed by

\displaystyle P(R)=\frac{5}{7}

The probability is's green is computed by

\displaystyle P(G)=\frac{2}{7}

If we have drawn a red ball, there are only 4 of them out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a second red ball is

\displaystyle P(RR)=\frac{5}{7}\cdot \frac{4}{6}=\frac{10}{21}

If we have drawn a green ball, there are still 5 red balls out of 6 in the urn, so the probability to draw a red ball now is

\displaystyle P(GR)=\frac{2}{7}\cdot \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{21}

The total probability of the second ball being red is

\displaystyle P(XR)=\frac{10}{21}+\frac{5}{21}=\frac{5}{7}=0.71

The probability that the second ball is red is 71%

What can you conclude and reason
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Because it consists of two congruent triangles created by CD, side AC = CB, making it an isosceles triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

I can conclude that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

Perpendicular means intersecting at 90°. Bisector means intersecting at the midpoint, halfway between the two ends.

Since CD is dropped from vertex C and is a perpendicular bisector of AB, angle C is also bisected.

Therefore angle C for both triangles CDA and CDB is of equal measure.

We know angle D for both triangle CDA and CDB is of equal measure, 90°, because CD is a <em>perpendicular </em>bisector of AB.

The two triangles also share the same side CD.

Triangles CDA and CDB are congruent for having 2 equal angles and 1 equal side (ASA property).

Since they are congruent, AD = AB and AC = CB. Therefore triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

1,040 teenagers do not enjoy going to the movies out of 5,200. 80% of 5,200 is 4,160. You would have to subtract 4,160 from 5,200 which is 1,040.
