|\Omega|=C(14,2)=\dfrac{14!}{2!12!}=\dfrac{13\cdot14}{2}=91\\|A|=C(6,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}=15\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{15}{91}\Rightarrow \text{B}

Answer: 15/91 which is choice B

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

There are two methods to find this answer.

Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91

--------------------

Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.

We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)

Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)

So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.

Estimate 6.1 DIVIDED 8
jenyasd209 [6]
<span>Estimate 6.1 DIVIDED 8
When you say estimate, meaning you have to round off the decimal to its nearest whole number to solve it easily 
=> 6.1 = 6
=> 6  / 8 = 0.75 is the quotient of the given equation.</span>

The perimeter of a rectangle swimming pool is 160 feet. The length of the swimming pool is four times its width . Find the dimen
Helga [31]
Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:

P = 2(L + W)

Plug in 160:

160 = 2(L + W)

L = 4W
<span>So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.</span>
<span>160 = 2(L + W)

160 = 2(4W + W)

Combine like terms:

160 = 2(5W)

160 = 10W

Divide 10 to both sides:

W = 16

Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.

L = 4W

L = 4(16)

L = 64

So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>
