The total number of fish available in the tank is (18 + 22) = 40. We want to randomly select 2 fish and come up with 2 goldfish. The probability for 1 goldfish to be taken out would be 18/40. Now, after drawing the first fish, the probability to get another goldfish would be 17/39. And the probability to draw 2 goldfish would be the product of both probabilities. P = (18/40)(17/39) = 51/260 Thus, the answer is <span>B.</span>

If two lines are parallel the lines must they lie on the same plane
ale4655 [162]
Yes, because if you would draw 2 parallel lines in 3D space, a plane would exist between those two lines.

A farmer has 100 m of fencing to enclose a rectangular pen.
Natasha2012 [34]
A(w) = 50w-w^2

rewrite it as y = -w^2 +50w

using quadratic formula y = ax^2 +bx +c
a would equal -1, b = 50 and c = 0

find the axis of symmetry using x = -b/2(a)
so x  = -50 / 2(-1) = -50/-2 = 25

so the width = 25 m

the greatest area is a square, so area = 25^2 = 625 square meters
