Answer:

A: 14/65

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the event of pulling a blue marble first, there are 28 blue marbles

Let B be the event of pulling a red marble second, there are 12 red marbles

There are 40 total marbles in the bag.

So

P(A) = 28/40

Since he pulls two marbles with out replacement, there is one less marble in the bag when he pulls the second marble, so there are only 39 marbles left, so

P(B) = 12/39

When calculating the probability of multiple events, you multiply their probabilities together, so we have

P(A then B) = (28/40)(12/39) = 336/1560

Now reduce the fraction...

112/520

28/130

14/65

A town’s population went from 35,000 to 42,000 in 3 years. What was the percent of change?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

The population changed by 20% in 3 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage change, is given by the following equation;

Percentage \ change = \dfrac{Final \ value - Initial \value }{Initial \ value} \times 100

The given parameters are;

The initial population of the town = 35,000

The final population of the town = 42,000

The percentage change in the population is therefore;

Percentage \ change \ in \ population= \dfrac{42,000 - 35,000 }{35,000} \times 100 = 20 \%

The population changed (increase) by 20% in 3 years.
