Probability that the 7th grader is a boy = number of boys/(total kids) = 4/(4+4) = 1/2

 

Probability that the 8th grader is a boy = 5/(5+7) = 5/12

 

Probability that both are boys = 1/2*(5/12) = 5/24 or 20.8%

I hope this helps!

The poem's repetitions reinforce a rhythm similar to the Jazz rhythm, allowing the reader to experience how this rhythm is engaging and realize the importance of Hughes and "Jazz poetry."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Jazz was a very important musical type for American culture and especially for African American culture.
  • The most striking feature of Jazz is the involving and influential rhythm that this type of music has, which is highlighted by the use of improvisation.
  • This rhythm and the feeling of unpredictability that Jaz produces are highlighted in Hughes' works through the repetition of words and a non-obvious and well-established rhyme.

With these elements, Hughes allows the reader to experience the rhythm of Jazz, as it allows the poem to have a similar rhythm and musicality.

Which statement best describes how the authors’ purposes are similar?
pav-90 [236]

An author can have several purposes for writing and it is primarily his reason for or intent for writing a certain piece. It could be to inform, entertain, amuse or persuade a reader.

An author's purpose is the reason or motivation for writing a text. When a reader knows an author's purpose, it allows for response to text and matching of texts to specific needs.

<h3>What is a purpose?</h3>

A purpose is known to be the reason for which something is done or created to exist.

An author's purpose can be reflected in the way he writes and clues about identifying a writer's purpose can be found in titles, prefaces and the author's background.

Hence, we can see that the question is incomplete as there was no text or excerpt given to indicate the similarity. A general answer was given to guide you.
