The probability of drawing a goldfish on the first draw is 16 / ( 16 + 24 ), or 16/40, or 2/5. Supposing that the first fish drawn is actually a goldfish, then there are 15 goldfish left among 39 fish, and the probability of drawing a goldfish on the 2nd draw is 15/39, or 5/13. The (joint) probability of drawing 2 goldfish on the 1st 2 draws, without replacement, is (5/13)(2/5) = 2/13.

Answer:

9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point C is the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯.
suter [353]

Answer:

See proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

If C is the midpoint of AB, then AC = CB

Given

AC=7x−10;

CB=3x+10

Then 7x - 10= 3x+10

Add 10 to both sides

7x-10+10 = 3x +10+10

7x = 3x + 20

7x - 3x   = 10+10

4x = 20

x = 20/4

x = 5

Get AC

AC = 7x - 10

AC= 7(5) - 10

AC = 35-10

AC = 25 (Proved)
