Probabilities

We have the following elements to choose from:

Rock songs (R) = 2

Reggaes songs (G) = 3

Country songs (C) = 3

It's required to find two probabilities:

a) The first is a rock song

As stated above, there are R = 2 rocks songs and there are 8 songs in total, thus the probability of randomly picking a rock song is:

\begin{gathered} p(R)=\frac{2}{8} \\ \text{Simplify:} \\ p(R)=\frac{1}{4} \end{gathered}

b) The second song is a country song.

This is quite more complex to calculate. Let's assume the first song was not a Country song (NC). This has a probability of:

P(NC)=\frac{5}{8}

Since there are 5 non-country songs out of 8. For the second pick, we have all of the country songs unplayed out of 7, thus the probability of selecting it is:

P(C)=\frac{3}{7}

The probability of this 'brank' of events is:

P(NC,C)=\frac{5}{8}\cdot\frac{3}{7}=\frac{15}{56}

Now assume the first song was actually a country song. It has a probability of:

P(C)=\frac{3}{8}

For the second pick, we now have only 2 country songs out of 7, so the probability of selecting another country song is:

P(C)=\frac{2}{7}

The probability of this 'branch' of events is:

\begin{gathered} P(C,C)=\frac{3}{8}\cdot\frac{2}{7}=\frac{6}{56} \\ Simplify\colon \\ P(C,C)=\frac{3}{28} \end{gathered}

The total probability of selecting a country song as the second song is:

\begin{gathered} P(B)=\frac{15}{56}+\frac{3}{28} \\ P(B)=\frac{15}{56}+\frac{6}{56} \\ P(B)=\frac{21}{56} \\ P(B)=\frac{3}{8} \end{gathered}

El área del paralelogramo con base de 13 centímetros y altura de 8 centímetros es 104 centímetros cuadrados.

El área del paralelogramo, en centímetros cuadrados, es igual al producto de su base por su altura, ambos en centímetros. En consecuencia, el área de la figura geométrica es la siguiente:

A = (13\,cm)\cdot (8\,cm)

A = 104\,cm^{2}
