<h3>What is the meaning of Probability ?</h3>

Probability is the stream in mathematics in which likeliness of an event to happen is studied.

The range of probability lies between 0 to 1 , where 0 indicates uncertainty and 1 indicates certainty.

It is given that anna, becky, christina, debbie, and esther are the five candidates for student representative for the school board.

two students will be selected, and they will alternate attending the school board meetings.

all five students are equally well qualified, so the school superintendent decides to draw names at random.

probability he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = ?

Probability of chosing debbie is 1/5

Probability of choosing Esther is also 1/5

Either of them if chosen first the probability is 1/5

and the either of them chosen second the probability is 1/4

Probability that he will choose debbie and esther as the two representatives = (1/5)*(1/4) = 1/20 .

What is the missing length??
amid [387]

Answer

The missing length is 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the missing length with x

The sides of the given shape are directly proportional.

Mathematically:

(15 + x) to (12 + 8) and x to 7

Represent as a ratio:

(15 + x) : (12 + 8) = x : 8

15 + x : 20= x : 8

Convert to fraction

\frac{15 + x}{20} = \frac{x}{8}

Cross Multiply:

(15 + x)*8 = 20 * x

120 + 8x = 20x

Collect Like Terms

20x - 8x = 120

12x = 120

Solve for x

x = \frac{120}{10}

x = 10

<em>The length of the missing side is 10</em>
