Answer:

option a)

0.286

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

number of red pens in cup = 5

number of black pens in cup = 10

number of pen randomly selected = 3

There are 5 red pens and 10 black pens. So there are 5 + 10 = 15 pens in all.

probability of having all red pens = (5/15 x 4/14 x 3/13)

                                                       = 2/91

probability of having all black pens = (10/15 x 9/14 x 8/13)

                                                           = 24/91

probability that all pen are of same colour = 24/91 + 2/91

                                                                      =  2/7

                                                                      ≈ 0.286

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Uche's pumping rate is <u>300 mL/s</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Uche pumps gasoline at a rate of 18 L/min.

Now, to find Uche's pumping rate in mL/s.

The rate at which Uche pumps gasoline = 18 L/min.

So, to get the pumping rate in mL/s we use convert L/min to mL/s by using conversion factor:

<u>1 L/min = 16.6667 mL/s.</u>

18 L/min = 16.6667 × 18 mL/s.

18L/min = 300 mL/s.

Therefore, Uche's pumping rate is 300 mL/s.
