The probability for yellow is given by 11/15.

Here, we have given that,

P(not yellow) = 4/15

Mathematically, the addition of the probability of an event and its complement adds up to be 1

The complement we have here is P(yellow)

Thus, mathematically we have;

P(not yellow) + P(yellow) = 1

<h3>What is the formula for yellow probability?</h3>

P(yellow) = 1 - P(not yellow)

From the question P(not yellow) = 4/15

Plugging this value, we have;

P(yellow) = 1 - 4/15 = 11/15

Therefore the probability for yellow is given by 11/15.

How many lines of symmetry does this figure have?

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two lines of symmetry and here I list them:

1) The first is a horizontal line that divides the square in to even parts such that the top part is the projection of the down one trough the symmetry line (and vice versa).

2) The second one is the vertical line that divides the square in two even sides. Note that this line will also divide both stars at half. The left side will be projected on the right one (and vice versa) trough the symmetry line.

A third line could be thought to be a diagonal between opposite vertices, but notice that the stars projection won't by symmetric in this case.

So, we only have 2 symmetry lines.

The frequency table below shows the antenna careers among the incoming class of first-year college students. Every student is ch

To solve this you must use a proportion like so...

$\frac{part}{whole} = \frac{part}{whole}$

The total number of students that can be chosen are 4,663. This number will represent the whole of one fraction in the proportion. We want to know what percent probability out of these students are engineer, medical doctor/surgeon. This would be considered the part of this fraction. Sum the number of engineering students (615) with medical doctors/surgeons (723) to find this number

723 + 615 = 1,338 students that want to be an engineer or medical doctor/surgeon

Percent's are always taken out of the 100. This means that the other fraction in the proportion will have 100 as the whole and x (the unknown) as the part.

Here is your proportion:

$\frac{1,338}{4,663} =\frac{x}{100}$
