Answer:

18/95

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 20 names, 9 of which are girl names.

The probability that the first name is a girl name is 9/20.

Since there's one less girl name in the hat, there are now a total of 19 names, 8 of which are girl names.  So the probability that the second name is a girl name is 8/19.

The total probability is (9/20) (8/19) = 18/95.

a coin is tossed, then a letter in the word accomplishment is chosen at random. find the probability of heads, then a vowel
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

\frac{5}{52}

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin toss:

Total\ outcome=\{H,T\}\\\\Favourable\ outcome=\{H\}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{Favourable\ outcome}{Number\ of\ total\ outcome}\\\\P(Head)=\frac{1}{2}

Letter Selection:

Number\ of\ total\ outcomes=26\ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ total\ letters\ are\ 26\\\\Favourable\ outcomes=5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ as\ there\ are\ 5\ vowels\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{Favourable\ outcomes}{Number\ of\ total\ outcomes}\\\\P(vowel)=\frac{5}{26}

These\ two\ events\ are\ independent.\\\\Hence\ probability\ of\ head\ and\ then\ vowel=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5}{26}=\frac{5}{52}
