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\%.

Lara wants to inscribe a square in a circle using only a compass and straightedge. She will first construct a circle and locate
Mamont248 [21]

In Step 2, Lara did not ensure that the second diamter was perpendicualr to the first diameter she drew.


The correct steps should be:

Step 1: Use the straightedge to draw a diameter of the circle. Label the points at which the diameter touches the circle as A and B.

Step 2: Draw a second diameter <em>perpendicular to the first diameter</em>. Label the points at which the second diameter touches the circle as C and D.

Step 3: Join the end points of the two diameters to form a square.
