Probabilities are used to determine the chances of an event.
- The probability that the first contestant is a boy is 1/2
- The probability that the second contestant is a boy, if the first is a boy is 9/19
- The probabilities are not independent
The given parameters are:



<u>(a) Probability that first contestant is a boy</u>
This is calculated as:

This gives


<u>(b) Probability that the second contestant is a boy, if the first is a boy</u>
This is calculated as:

We subtracted 1, because the first contestant (a boy) is no longer part of the selection.
So, we have:


<u>(c) Independent probabilities</u>
The probabilities are not independent, because when a contestant is selected, the number of contestant is reduced by 1.
And this will affect the probability of the next selection.

It would be the first box, when multiplying exponents, you add the exponents and just keep the base. So it be 2^17
Given:
The pair of expressions in the options.
To find:
The pair that shows equivalent expressions.
Solution:
We have,

By using distributive property, we get


So, option A is incorrect and option B is correct.
We have,

By using distributive property, we get


So, options C and D both are incorrect.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
169 because 13 x 13 = 168
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
No, the decimal part is important.
For example, 1.4≈1, but 1.5≈2
Therefore, Enrique is wrong.
