1 pencil and 4 pens = 5 total

Picking the pencil would be 1/5 ( 1 pencil out of 5 total items)

5 color pencils  + 5 crayons = 10 total items.

Picking a color pencil would be 5/10 which reduces to 1/2

To find the probability of both happening, multiply them together:

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10

The probability is 1/10

inessss [21]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate population proportion from a sample, we must ensure that the sample data is random. Though a simple random sample of college students from a particular college was used as the sample data. However, selection of the college should have been randomized as well, a stratified random sample would have been a better sampling method whereby certain colleges are selected based on region or other criteria and then a random sample of it's statistics students selected. The sample proportion Obtian from a sample of this nature will be more representative of the population proportion of all college statistic student.

In-s [12.5K]

6 numbers per cube

 if one is a 1, then the other one has to be a 2, 4 or 6 to be an odd sum

1+2=3, 1+4=5,1+6=7

 since there are 3 numbers you can get that would be a 3/6 ( reduce to 1/2) probability


so 1/2 probability

Prove the identity<br> cos(A+B+C)=cosAcosBcosC-cosAsinBsinC-sinAcosBcosC-sinAsinBcosC
blagie [28]
Hello !

cos (a+b) = cos a cos b - sin a sin b
sin (a+b) = sin a cos b + sin b cos a

cos (a+b+c) = cos (a+(b+c))
cos (a+b+c) = cos a cos (b+c) - sin a sin (b+c)
cos (a+b+c) = cos a (cos b cos c - sin b sin c) - sin a (sin b cos c + sin c cos b)
cos (a+b+c)=cos a cos b cos c - cos a sin b sin c - sin a sin b cos c - sin a cos b sin c
