Answer:

<u>18/95</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability Formula :

<u><em>Probability (Event) = Number of outcomes with Event / Total outcomes</em></u>

<u><em /></u>

=============================================================

Given :

⇒ <u>7 black caps</u>

⇒ <u>4 yellow caps</u>

⇒ <u>9 blue caps</u>

<u />

===========================================================

Solving :

<u>P (1st cap is blue)</u> :

⇒ Number of blue caps / Total caps

⇒ 9 / 7 + 4 + 9

⇒ 9/20

It mentions the cap is not replaced. Hence, when taking the probability of the 2nd cap, subtract a blue cap from the number of blue caps and the total.

<u>P (2nd cap is blue)</u> :

⇒ Number of blue caps - 1 / Total caps - 1

⇒ 9 - 1 / 20 - 1

⇒ 8/19

<u>P (both caps are blue)</u> :

⇒ P (1st cap blue) × P (2nd cap blue)

⇒ 9/20 × 8/19

⇒ 9/5 × 2/19

⇒ <u>18/95</u>

Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

What is probability?

Probability is simply the chances of something occuring.

As a formula, I like to say that formula = # of favorable outcomes / total # of outcomes

Where favorable outcomes is what we want to happen and total # of outcomes is the total number of possibilities.

In order to find the probability of the occurrence of something in a row, we multiply the individual probabilities of each action

Understanding the question

Here we are given that caleb has 7 black caps 4 yellow caps and 9 blue caps in his wardrobe and given this we want to find the probability of Caleb randomly selecting 2 blue caps without replacing it the first being drawn.

So here # of favorable outcomes = # of blue caps = 9

and

total number of outcomes = total # of caps = 7 + 4 + 9 = 20

Finding the probability

<em>For </em><em>first </em><em>draw</em>

First let's find the probability that caleb will select a blue cap the first time.

We know that probability = # of favorable outcomes / total # of outcomes

We also know that # of favorable outcomes = 9 and total # of outcomes = 20

Plugging this in, we get that the probability of Caleb randomly selecting a blue cap on the first draw is 9/20

<em>For </em><em>second </em><em>draw</em>

Because it says that caleb will not replace the cap when drawn it's important to subtract 1 from both the # of caps and # of blue caps

This results us in having # of favorable outcomes as 8 and total # of outcomes as 19

Plugging this in we get that the probability of Caleb drawing a blue cap the second time is 8/19

Finally to find the total probability of him selecting two blue caps in a row without replacing the first cap, we multiply the individual probabilities

From doing so we acquire 9/20 * 8/19 = 18/95

PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS HELP!!!
Alona [7]

Answer:

1. Option A

2. Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

I would like to elaborate on the answer to the second question, since the first answer is actually  option a. Why? The question asks for a parametric equation, not set, so it would be choice a.

2. x=3t + 5 - isolate t

t=(x-5)/3 - substitute into the second equation

y = [(x-5)/3]^2 - 1

your solution is  option b

Given: The coordinates of isosceles trapezoid JKLM are J(-b, c), K(b, c), L(a, 0), and M(-a, 0). Prove: The diagonals of an isos
In-s [12.5K]
We have to find the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL:
d ( KM ) = √ (( - a - b )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ (( a + b )² + c² )
d ( JL ) = √ ( ( a - ( - b ) )² + ( 0 - c )²) = √ ( ( a + b )² + c² )
So the lengths of the diagonals KM and JL are congruent.
The lengths of the diagonals of the isosceles trapezoid are congruent.
