Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events
The probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is 8%
<h3>How to calculate the probability</h3>
Represent the events as follows:
- A represents mechanical pencil
- B represents wooden pencil
- C represents colored pencil
So, we have
P(A) = 20%
P(B) = 40%
P(C) = 30%
The probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is then calculated as:
P(B n A) = P(B) * P(A)
This gives
P(B n A) = 40% * 20%
Evaluate the product
P(B n A) = 8%
Hence, the probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is 8%

P = 2L + 2W ....subtract 2L from both sides
P - 2L = 2W ...divide both sides by 2
(P - 2L) / 2 = W .....can also be written like (P/2) - L = W
-24a²- 6a +9 = - 3(8a² +6a - 9)
8a² +6a - 9 =0
x=(-b +/-√(b² - 4ac))/2a
x = (-6 +/-√(36+4*8*9) /(2*8) = (-6 +/-√(324) /16 = (-6 +/-18)/16
x1 = (-6 +18)/16 = 0.75
x2 = (-6 -18)/16 = - 1.5
-24a²- 6a +9 = - 3(8a² +6a - 9) = -3(a - 0.75)(a + 1.5)
If u mean 4^4 or four to the fourth power then it’s 256
