Assume that each material in each category has an equal chance of being selected.
Categories:
(a) Type of wood used to make the cabinet: birch, maple, cherry.
Each type of wood has a probability of 1/3 to be selected.
(b) Type of finish: transparent, semi-transparent.
Each type of finish has a probability of 1/2 to be selected.
(c) Knob: bronze, steel, wood.
Each material has 1/3 probability to be selected.
Each event (selecting material for the cabinet, for the finish, and for the knob) is an independent event.
Therefore
Probablity(birch wood AND bronze knob) = (1/3)*(1/3) = 1/9
Probability(wood knob) = 1/3
Probability(transparent stain) = 1/2
Probability(cheryy wood AND semi-transparent stain) = (1/3)*(1/2) = 1/6
Let's call the missing angles Q, R, and S. We know that Q = 2R and S = R - 8 and we also know that Q + R + S = 180. So that really just means that 180 = 4R - 8 Add 8 on both sides of the equal sign
188 = 4R So we divide on both sides of the equal sign by 4
47 = R And that means that Q = 2 * 47 So Q = 94 and S = 47 - 8 So S = 39
39 + 94 + 47 = 180
The missing angles are 39 degrees 94 degrees and 47 degrees.
You just multiply them because “as” in the question means the same thing as “of” so it will be 7/16.
