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

How do you do question number 5? If you do it can you please explain how to do it? Thank you!!

F(-3) = 4(-3) - 3 = -12 - 3 = -15.
H(2) = -5(2) + 7 = -10 + 7 = -3.

F(-3) + H(2) = -15 + -3 = -18.

The solution is -18.
