Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

2 mint sticks,

9 jelly treats, and

9 fruit tart chews.

Sample space = {2+9+9} = 20

N/B this is done without replacement since the candy are eaten Hence after each selection the candy and the sample size reduces

1.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 9/20

2.The probability of eating the first jelly treat = 8/19

Hence the probability of her first two pieces will both

be jelly i= 9/20*8/19= 72/380

= 18/95

Answer:

18.95%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case what we must do is calculate the probability of eating a jelly treats first and then another jelly treats, being the final probability the multiplication of these events.

We know that there are 20 in total and that initially there are 9 jelly treats, so the first event is the probability:

9/20  

And the second event, with one less in each, would be:

8/19

The final probability then:

9/20 * 8/19 = 0.1895

So the probability of this happening is 18.95%

Darina [25.2K]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Step 2 is incorrect. She added 4 and 2 first, but you are supposed to multiply and divide first. Then she multiplied 6 and 6, which is 36. Then she divided 36 and 2, which is 18, and then she subtracted 7, giving her 11. Step 2 is what threw the whole thing off.

Here is what Sandy should have done.

STEP 1: 6·4+2÷2-7

STEP 2: 24+1-7

STEP 3: 25-7

STEP 4: 18

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D

Answer:

48%

Step-by-step explanation:

96 out of the 200 species of birds have been seen nesting. To make it easier, let's make it out of a hundred. Just divide both numbers by 2, this will result in the ratio being 48 out of 100. Now, we have our percentage, 48%.

Determine whether the given equation has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions: 4x+10=2(2x+5)
murzikaleks [220]

if we distribute 2(2x+5), we'll end up with 4x + 10, so in short, the right-hand-side, is really the left-hand-side in disguise.

and since  4x + 10 = 4x + 10, both equations are equal, meaning in short, the system has an infinite number of solutions.
