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>

Round 264 to the nearest hundred​
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

300

Step-by-step explanation:

300 would be the answer because they told us to round it up to the NEAREST HUNDRED. 2 neares hundred with 264 are 200 and 300

But as we can see which one is nearer:

300 - 264 = 36

200 - 264 = -64 or 264 -200 = 64

So in this case, 300 would be the closest round up to hundred of 264

Hope this help :3

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 5, 1, −3, . . . , −111?
masya89 [10]
Here, it helps to find a general expression for the nth term in the sequence. Since the sequence is arithmetic, the general term is a_n = a + bn, where b is the common difference. By inspection of the first few terms we see the common difference is -4. Then by solving a_1 = a - 4x1 = 5, we obtain a = 9, so the nth term is: a_n = 9-4n. We then solve a_n=-111 for n, so 9-4n=-111. Rearranging, we get 4n=9+111, or 4n=120, or n=30. Thus there are 30 terms in the sequence.
