Answer: $\dfrac{7}{145}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ,The bag contains :

9 chocolate chip cookies, 5 peanut butter cookies, 9 sugar cookies and 7 oatmeal raisin cookies.

Total cookies = 9+5+9+7=30

Now , the number of ways to choose any two cookies ( one after another) :

$^{30}C_2=\dfrac{30!}{2!(30-2)!}=\dfrac{30\times29\times28!}{2\times28!}=435$

The number of way to choose two oatmeal raisins ( one after another) :

$^{7}C_2=\dfrac{7!}{2!(7-2)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5!}{2\times5!}=21$

Now , the probability that Skyler randomly selects an oatmeal raisin cookie from the bag, eats it, then randomly selects another oatmeal raisin cookie will be :

$\dfrac{21}{435}=\dfrac{7}{145}$

Hence, the required probability is $\dfrac{7}{145}$ .

Directions: Calculate the area of a circle using 3.14x the radius

Leokris [45]

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

As we know ~

Area of the circle is :

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\pi {r}^{2}$

And radius (r) = diameter (d) ÷ 2

[ radius of the circle = half the measure of diameter ]

<h3>Problem 1</h3>

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = d \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 4.4\div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 2.2 \: mm$

Now find the Area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(2.2)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {4.84}^{}$

Bow, calculate the Area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \pi {r}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (1.85) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 3.4225 {}^{}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 5.8 \div 2$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:r = 2.9 \: \: yd$

now, let's calculate area ~

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times {(2.9)}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 8.41$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times (0.5) {}^{2}$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:3.14 \times 0.25$

Assume: c = 40 + 0.8(y - t) g = 10 i = 20 t = 0, where t are taxes. (a) calculate y at equilibrium. (b) calculate c, i, and g at

Sonja [21]

(a). To calculate Y at equilibrium

Y = C + I + G

Y = 40 + 0.8(Y – 0 + 10 + 20)

Y = 350

(b). To calculate C, I and G at Equilibrium

C = 40 + 0.8 Y

Since Y = 350

C = 40 + 0.8(350)

C = 40 + 280

C = 320

I = 20

G = 10

(c).To find equilibrium Y

Given,

EX = 4 + 3EP/P

IM = 8 + 0.1 (Y - T) - 2EP/P

E = 3

P = 1

P = 1.5

Y = 170
