Answer:

   D.  0.098

Step-by-step explanation:

The probabilities of all choices must total 1, so we have ...

  p(never) + p(married) + p(widowed) + p(divorced) = 1

  p(divorced) = 1 - (p(never) + p(married) + p(widowed))

  = 1 - (0.239 + 0.595 + 0.068) = 1 - 0.902

  p(divorced) = 0.098

Step-by-step explanation:

So the probability of picking a purple marble is 8/12, after that there are 11 marbles left in the box

Now the probability of picking a green marble without placing the first marble back is 4/11

So the probability of doing both is 8/12 x 4/11 = 8/33

A line with a negative slope intersects a horizontal line 3 units above the x-axis. Select each point that can not be the inters
AnnyKZ [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both lines intersect each other 3 units above the x-axis, the y-value of the point of intersection must be 3.

Looking at the options, (-3, 5), (3, -2) and (0, -3) are all invalid points.
