The answer is 62/95. You determine this by calculating the probability of both students being girls.

Probability first student is girl: 12/20
Probability second student is girl: 11/19
Multiply 12/20 * 11/19 = 132/380 or 0.347
Probability of both students not being girls: 1 - 0.347 = 0.653 or 62/95

Angles L and M are supplementary. What is the sum of their measures? The sum of the measures of angles L and M is

Reil [10]

Supplementary angles will always add up to 180. If you had a straight line, and you drew another line across that line, the two angles on either side of that line would add up to 180 because a flat line is equal to 180 degrees.

Jay estimates that a basketball weights about .5 pounds. Shawna estimates that a basketball weights about.05. Whose estimate is

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Jay's estimate is closer to the actual weight of the basketball

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard weight of an NBA basketball is 1.4 pounds.

Judging the accuracy of Jay's and Shawna's answer based on their percentage error when compared with the standard, we have that Jay's answer has a lower error as shown below

Error = (Standard value - Estimated value)/ Standard Value ×100

Error in Jays answer = $\frac{1.4 - 0.5}{1.4}$ × 100 = 64.28 %
