Answer:

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of having a married couple in nonadjacent desks is the total number of probabilities minus the probabilities of having them in adjacent places divide by total number of outcomes

The total possibilities (outcomes) of 9 elements in a row is:

P(₉) = 9!

P(₉) = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₉) = 362880

And the outcomes in which they are adjacent to each other is:

We consider them as one unit them we in this situation have 8 elements

P(₈) = 8!

P(₈) = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

P(₈) = 40320

Then the probability that the married couple will have nonadjacent desks is:

P = P(₉)  -  P(₈) / P(₉)

P =  362880 - 40320 / 362880

P = 322560/ 362880

P = 0,88          or       P  =  88 %

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: 139.27

Step-by-step explanation:

So let find the area of the black swuare the length is 10 and the widith is 10, using bxh the area is 100. Now let find the aea of the semi-circle. The area of a fill circle is pi radius squared so a semi circle area will be 1/2( pi radius squared). The radius is 5 so we can calculate 1/2 of 25 pi equal = 39.27. Now let add the areas: 100+39.27=139.27.
