Answer:

3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of employees = 7 + 9 = 16

Probability of a man being chosen first to be promoted = 9/16

Probability of the second choice is still a man for promotion = 8/15

Why 8/15?

The number of men left who are eligible for promotion after the 1st man was chosen for promotion is 9 - 1 = 8

The total number of people left after the 1st person is chosen for promotion that are eligible for promotion is 16 - 1 = 15

Hence Probability of choosing 2 men for promotion = 9/16 x 8/15 = 3/10

Triangle ABC was rotated about the origin. Which rule

Nuetrik [128]

<h3>Answer: Choice A $R_0, 90^{\circ}$ </h3>

The R stands for "rotation". The "O" as a small subscript means "origin" which is where the x and y axis cross. The 90 degrees means we rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. This is equivalent to 270 degrees clockwise, but writing $R_0, 270^{\circ}$ is not correct as we don't rotate 270 degrees counterclockwise.
