Answer:

15.15% probability that Neil selects a bone and then a ball

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Initially, there are 3+4+5 = 12 treats. 4 of those are bones. So the probability of selecting a bone is 4/12 = 1/3.

Now suppose a bone has been selected. Now there are 11 treats, 5 of which are balls. So the probability of selecting a ball in this situation is 5/11.

What is the probability Neil selects a bone and then a ball?

p = \frac{1}{3}*\frac{5}{11} = \frac{5}{33} = 0.1515

15.15% probability that Neil selects a bone and then a ball

What is the slope of the line that goes through -3,7 & -17,3
Natalka [10]

Point 1: (-3, 7)

Point 2: (-17, 3)

To find the slope, we need to use the slope formula which is as follows: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We will plug in each x and y coordinate from our points above, respectively.

m = (3 - 7) / (-17 - - 3)

m = (-4) / (-14)

m = 2/7

The slope of the line that goes through (-3, 7) and (-17, 3) is 2/7.

Hope this helps!! :)
