<h3>Answer: 5/18</h3>

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

Explanation:

There are 5+5 = 10 coins total, of which 5 are dimes. The probability of selecting a dime is 5/10 = 1/2.

The coin is not put back, so we have 10-1 = 9 coins overall. Of this, 5 are pennies. The probability of pulling a penny out is 5/9. Note how this is dependent on the first event above.

From here, multiply the two probabilities

(1/2)*(5/9) = 5/18

The rule used here is

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B given A)

where A and B are the events "pulling out a dime on the first selection" and "pulling out a penny on the second selection"

Answer:

2/9

Step-by-step explanation:

5 dimes and 5 pennies = 10 coins

P( dime) = number of dimes / total

=5/10 = 1/2

keep the dime

4 dimes and 5 pennies = 9 coins

P( penny) = number of penny / total

=4/9

P( dime, keep, penny) = 1/2 * 4/9 = 2/9

Determine and state the coordinates of the center and length of the radius of a circle whose equation is

padilas [110]

First, rewrite the equation in standard form.
The center-radius form of the circle equation is in the format:
(x – h)^2 + (y – k)^2 = r^2
with the center being at the point (h, k) and the radius being "r".

(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 81

From here, you can determine the center and radius. The center is at (3,-4) and the radius is 9.
