I think there's an easy way and a hard way to do this, and I think that the way
I'm about to describe is the easier way.

Probability = (number of successful outcomes)/(total number of possible outcomes)

<em>How many total pairs can be drawn from 8 total pens ?</em>
-- The first one drawn can be any one of 8 pens. For each of these . . .
-- The second one drawn can be any one of the remaining 7 .
-- Total number of ways of drawing a pair = (8 x 7) = 56 ways.
-- But there aren't 56 different different pairs. Whether you draw A and then B,
or B and then A, you wind up with the same pair.  There are 2 different ways to
draw each pair, so the 56 ways of drawing a pair only produces <u>28</u> different pairs.

<u>How many pairs are two of the same color ?</u>

<em>Possible number of blue pairs:</em>
The reasoning is exactly the same as calculating the TOTAL number of
pairs, as explained above.
With 5 blue pens, you can make <u>10</u> different pairs.
AB, AC, AD, AE, BC, BD, BE, CD, CE, and DE.

<em>Possible number of red pairs:</em>
The reasoning is exactly the same as calculating the TOTAL number of
pairs, as explained above.
With 3 red pens, you can make <u>3</u> different pairs.
AB, AC, and BC.

Total number of possible same-color pairs = 10 + 3 = 13

successes / total possible outcomes = 13/28 = <u>46.4</u>%  (rounded)

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

YZ = XZ

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular Bisector:

A perpendicular bisector of a line segment 'l' is a line that is perpendicular to the line segment 'l' and cuts the line segment 'l' into two equal parts.

Given:

1. A triangle WXY.

2. A perpendicular bisector from vertex W that intersects XY at point Z.

Conclusion based on the drawing:

a. Z is the midpoint of the line segment XY because point Z lies on the perpendicular bisector of XY.

b. Hence, XZ = YZ.
