Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The 1st Beatles song heard is the 5th song played means that first 4 songs are not Beatles songs (there are 100 - 10 = 90 such songs) and the 5th song is Beatles song (there are 10 such songs). Hence, the probability that the first Beatles song heard is the fifth song played is

\dfrac{C^{90}_4\cdot C^{10}_1}{C^{100}_5}=\dfrac{2,555,190\cdot 10}{75,287,520}\approx 0.3394

2. There are exactly two Beatles songs in the first five songs played means there are 2 Beatles songs and 3 not Betles songs (the number when these songs are played do not matter). Hence, the probability that there are exactly two Beatles songs in the first five songs played is

\dfrac{C^{10}_2\cdot C^{90}_3}{C^{100}_5}=\dfrac{45\cdot 117,480}{75,287,520}\approx 0.0702

Find the area of the triangle whose vertices are (0,4) , (0,0) and (2,0) by plotting them on graph
Luden [163]

Refer to the attached image. Since one vertex is the origin and the other two lay on the coordinate axes, the triangle is a right triangle. This means that, if we consider AB to the be base, AC is his height, and vice versa.

Anyway, it means that the area is given by

A = \cfrac{\overline{AB}\times\overline{AC}}{2}

Since AB is a horizontal segment and AC is a vertical segment, their length is given by the absolute difference of the non-constant coordinate: points A and B share the same x coordinate, so we subtract the y coordinates:

\overline{AB} = |2-0| = |2| = 2

The opposite goes for AC: points A and C share the same y coordinate, so we subtract the x coordinates:

\overline{AC} = |4-0| = |4| = 4

So, the area is

A = \cfrac{2\times 4}{2} = 4

Monica measures 91 milliliters of water into 9 tiny beakers. she measures an equal amount of water into the first 8 beakers. she
UkoKoshka [18]
To determine the amount of water in the first 8 beakers, you will subtract the 19 ml that are in the 9th beaker from the total to see how much water was actually put into the first 8 beakers.

91 ml - 19 ml = 72 ml.

The 72 ml are divided evenly between 8 beakers.

72/8 = 9 ml

There would be 9 ml of water in each of the first 8 beakers.
