The probability is the number of positive events divided by the number of total possible events. The probability searched will be the probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish times the probability that the second fish selected is also a goldfish. The probability that the first fish selected is a goldfish is the number of goldfish in the tank divided by the total number of fish, i.e. 18 / 40. The probality that the second fish selected is a goldfish is 17 / 39 (because there is one goldfish less in the thank). Then, the joint probability is (18/40)*(17/39) = 306/1560 =102/ 520 = 51/260. Then,<span> the answer is the option b. 51/260</span>

The sun shines at a 30° angle to the ground. To the nearest inch, how long is the shadow cast by a 72-in. tall fence post?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The length of the shadow is 124.7 in

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u />

Given:

Angle, θ = 30°

Height of the fence,  h = 72 in

Length of the shadow, l = ?

Given:

tan 30° = \frac{perpendicular}{base}  = \frac{height of the fence}{length of the shadow}

\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } = \frac{72}{l} \\\\l = 72\sqrt{3} \\\\l = 124.7 in

Therefore, the length of the shadow is 124.7 in

The circle below is centered at the origin, and the length of its radius is 7. What is the circle's equation. A. 7x+7y=49. B. x^
Scilla [17]
Equation of a circle is: <span>(x−h<span>)2</span>+(y−k<span>)2</span>=<span>r2</span></span> h is the x-coordinate of the center and k is the y-coordinate of the center. Even though the formula has minus signs, those are positive numbers. If there were plus signs in there, the numbers h and k would actually be negative. Now since you're centered at the origin, that means h and k are 0, so you'd just have this: <span><span>x2</span>+<span>y2</span>=<span>r2</span></span><span> Now since your radius is 7, just square it and replace r^2 woth that value :)</span>

Samantha read 22 books in 4 months. How many books would she read in 10 months?
kari74 [83]

Well first let's find out how many books she reads in 1 month.
1) 22 (books) ÷4 (months)=5.5 she reads 5.5 books in one month.
Now we multiply 5.5 by the amount of months she will be reading.
2) 5.5 (books) ×10 ( months)=55 books
