The probability of drawing a goldfish on the first draw is 16 / ( 16 + 24 ), or 16/40, or 2/5. Supposing that the first fish drawn is actually a goldfish, then there are 15 goldfish left among 39 fish, and the probability of drawing a goldfish on the 2nd draw is 15/39, or 5/13. The (joint) probability of drawing 2 goldfish on the 1st 2 draws, without replacement, is (5/13)(2/5) = 2/13.

Which of the following could be the equation for a parabola that opens to the left with vertex (-17,2)?

Sholpan [36]

A sideways opening parabola is in the form $x= y^{2}$ , so we know from the process of elimination that it will either be b or c. Next we have to realize that if the parabola opens to the left it is a negative parabola, just like if a parabola opens upside down it is a negative parabola. So the one that has the negative out front is b.
