Answer:

16.7%.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are initially 24 + 15 + 8 = 47 pencils in the bag.

Take a pencil out of this bag of 47 pencils. 15 out of the 47 pencils blue. Let A represent the event of getting a blue pencil on the first pick. The probability of getting a blue pencil is:

\displaystyle P(A) = \frac{15}{47}.

There are now 47 - 1 = 46 pencils left in the bag. However, given that the first pencil removed from the bag is blue, the number of red pencils in the bag will still be 24. Take another pencil out of this bag of 46 pencils. Let B represent the event of getting a red pencil on the second pick. The possibility that the second pencil is red given that the first pencil is blue will be:

\displaystyle P(B|A) = \frac{24}{46}.

The question is asking for the possibility that the first pencil is blue and the second pencil is red. That is:

\displaystyle P(A\cap B) = P(A) \cdot P(B|A) = \frac{15}{47}\times \frac{24}{46} = 0.166512 \approx 16.7\%.

Solve 4a = 20
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Here's the solutions :

1. solve for a :

  • 4a = 20

  • a =  \dfrac{20}{4}

  • a = 5

2. solve for y :

  • 3y + 9 = 24

  • 3y = 24 - 9

  • 3y = 15

  • y =  \dfrac{15}{3}

  • y = 5

3. solve for y :

  • \dfrac{y}{3}  - 5 = 4

  • \dfrac{y}{3}  = 5 + 4

  • \dfrac{y}{3}  = 9

  • y = 9 \times 3

  • y = 27

4. solve for k :

  • 3 = 9 -  4k

  • 3 - 9 =  -4 k

  • - 6 =  - 4 k

  • k =  \dfrac{ - 6}{ - 4}

  • k =  \dfrac{3}{2}  \:  \:  \: or \:  \: 1.5

5. there's something wrong with this question.

6. solve for x :

  • 3x + 8 = 2

  • 3x = 2 - 8

  • 3x =  - 6

  • x =  \dfrac{ - 6}{3}

  • x =  - 2

i hope it helped...

What is the measure of angle A?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

∠A=65º

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A angle of a line is 180º, so we can say that angle ABC=(180-6x)º
  • The interior angkes of a triangle is 180º, so (x+40)º+(3x+10)º+(180-6x)º=180º
  • Remove parenthesis, x+40+3x+10+180-6x=180
  • Combine like terms, -2x+230=180
  • Subtract 180, -2x=-50
  • Divide by -2, so x=25

Now:

  • ∠CAB=(25+40)º=65º
  • ∠ABC=[180-6(25)]º=30º
  • ∠BCA=[3(25)+10]=85º
