A box contains five slips of paper, each with one of the letters A, B, C, D, or E written on it. Another box has four slips of p

aper, each with one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4 written on it. Without looking, Nancy draws a slip of paper from each box. What is the probability that Nancy draws the letter B from one box and the number 2 from the other box?

Answer:

The probability that Nancy draws the letter B from one box and the number 2 from the other box is:

\dfrac{1}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the probability of drawing a slip of paper from one box is independent of drawing a piece of slip from the other.

Let first box contain five slips of paper, each with one of the letters A, B, C, D, or E written on it.

This means that the probability of drawing B is:

ratio of the number of slips containing B to the total number of slips.

i.e.

P(Drawing\ B)=\dfrac{1}{5}

Second box has four slips of paper, each with one of the numbers 1, 2, 3, or 4 written on it.

This means that the probability of drawing number 2 is:

ratio of the number of slips containing number 2 to the total number of slips.

i.e.

P(Drawing\ 2)=\dfrac{1}{4}

Hence,

P(drawing\ B\ and\ number\ 2)=P(drawing\ B)\times P(drawing\ 2)\\\\i.e.\\P(drawing\ B\ and\ number\ 2)=\dfrac{1}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\P(drawing\ B\ and\ number\ 2)=\dfrac{1}{20}

Hence, the probability is:

\dfrac{1}{20}

Which of the following sums would be under the radical symbol to find the distance between the points (7, -1) and (-8, -9)?
Alexxandr [17]

Sadly, you didn't put any sums on your list of choices. 
In fact, I can't even find a list of choices !

To find the distance between  (7, -1)  and  (-8, -9),
you would build a sum under a square-root (radical)
symbol, and it would look something like this:

               √ ( 225 + 64 ) .
