Answer: 4/25

=========================================

Explanation:

Let's define two events A and B
A = event of selecting red on the first draw
B = event of selecting red on the second draw

P(A) is the notation that means "probability of event A occurring"

P(A) = 2/5 because there are 2 red marbles out of 5 total (2 red + 3 black = 5)
Similarly, P(B) = 2/5 as well because A and B deal with the same color red, and because Abby put the first marble back

Multiply the probabilities
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B) ... see note below
P(A and B) = (2/5)*(2/5)
P(A and B) = (2*2)/(5*5)
P(A and B) = 4/25 which is the answer

Note: the equation used is only valid if events A and B are independent, which they are in this case. The fact we put the marble back means the chances of picking red are the same as before.

Find the cosine ratio of angle ?. hint: use the slash symbol ( / ) to represent the fraction bar, and enter the fraction with no
Andru [333]

We are given that the angle a is the right angle. So let us work from this.

ab = 12 (the vertical side of the triangle)

bc = 13 (which if drawn can be clearly observed to be the hypotenuse) = the side opposite to angle a

ca = 5 (the horizontal side of the triangle)

 

Since we are to find for the cosine ratio of angle c or angle θ, therefore:

cos θ = adjacent side / hypotenuse

cos θ = ca / bc

cos θ = 5 / 13

 

Check out the attached image below for the illustration of the triangle.
