His mistake is that he didn't need to remove one even number on the spinner, so we just need to take 2/5×1/5=2/25.

Answer and Explanation:

Given : A spinner with equal sections numbered from 1 to 5 is spun twice. Raul is finding the probability that both spins will result in an even number.

He did  \frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{2}{20}            

To find : His mistake and correct it ?

Solution :

Outcomes = {1,2,3,4,5}        

Total outcomes = 5

Even number = {2,4}        

Favorable outcome of getting even number = 2

Probability of getting an even number is \frac{2}{5}

When he spin twice there is no change in probability.

So, The probability that both spins will result in an even number is

P=\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{2}{5}

P=\frac{4}{25}

The mistake in Rahul's calculation is he apply replacement which is not applied in this.

Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. The length of PQ is (x + 2) units, and the length of QA is
Phoenix [80]

Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

As given by the statement in the problem,

Q may be the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

In rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

which means that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

Grouping the terms, we will get,

3x -x = 14+ 2

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x = 16/2 = 8

8+2 = 3(8) - 14 = 10 = PQ or QA
