What is P(A), the probability that the first student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(B), the probability that the second student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(A and B), the probability that the first student is a girl and the second student is a girl? (1/2)
The probability that the first student is a girl is (3/4), likewise for the 2nd 3rd and 4th it's still (3/4). The order you pick them doesn't matter.
However, once you're looking at P(A and B) then you're fixing the first position and saying if the first student is a girl what's the probability of the second student being a girl.
I think the answer is x + 2y or 5(x + 2y) with 5 being the number of days in a school week

Step-by-step explanation:
May you explain what to do?
The best way to approach a word problem like this
is to break it down into pieces, so we can understand it fully.
In this problem, we have a number, which we don't know.
We can use any variable to represent it.
So let's use the variable <em>n</em> to represent it.
"Two less than three times a number" means 3n - 2.
A common mistake is for students to put 2 - 3n.
However, the word "less than" switches the order around.
So we have 3n - 2 = 19.
Solving from here, we add 2 to both sides to get 3n = 21.
Now divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we have n = 7.
So the number is 7.
