There are 5+6+4+3+2=20 m&m's in the bag.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 20:
_{20} C _3=\frac{20!}{3!(20-3)!}=\frac{20!}{3! \times 17!}=\frac{17! \times 18 \times 19 \times 20}{6 \times 17!}=\frac{18 \times 19 \times 20}{6}=3 \times 19 \times 20= \\
=1140

There are 6 yellow m&m's.
Calculate in how many ways you can choose 3 m&m's from 6:
_6 C _3 = \frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=\frac{6!}{3! \times 3!}=\frac{3! \times 4 \times 5 \times 6}{3! \times 6}=\frac{4 \times 5 \times 6}{6}=4 \times 5=20

The probability is the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 6 m&m's divided by the number of ways of choosing 3 m&m's from 20 m&m's.
P=
\frac{20}{1140}=\frac{20 \div 20}{1140 \div 20}=\frac{1}{57}

The probability is 1/57.

Rachel has $9 in a savings account. The interest rate is 5%, compounded annually.
pogonyaev
1 % of 9 is 0.09, multiply 0.09 by 5= 0.45 (to find 5%)
Then multiply 0.45 by 36 (3years)= 16.20
Then add 16.20 to $9= $25.20

Which points can be connected to draw a line of symmetry through this figure?
Alex Ar [27]

The symmetry line is passing through points F and E. Then the correct option is B.

<h3>What is reflectional symmetry?</h3>

Consider a plane. Consider a design or shape on that plane. Now consider an axis.

If we think of that axis as a mirror, and on the opposite side of that axis create the image of the considered shape, then if the shape's image looks exactly like the shape itself, then that shape is called to have reflectional symmetry.

Then the symmetry line is passing through points F and E. Because F and E are the mid-points of AD and BC.
