Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
P(0,0) = 2/12 times 1/11 = 1/66
Step-by-step explanation:
For probability questions, think of each event happening separately, it makes the maths easier to understand. For example, in this question, do not think of the two boys taking a fruit at the same time - that makes the maths complicated
.
Let Daniel take a fruit first, then Sean can take a fruit. There are two parts to consider.
P
r
o
b
a
b
i
l
i
t
y
=
number of desirable outcomes
total number of possible outcomes
For Daniel: there are 12 different pieces of fruit in the bowl, he just takes one without choosing a specific fruit. (random)
The chance that Daniel takes an orange is
2
12
Of the 12 pieces of fruit. 2 are oranges.
Now Sean: the numbers of fruit in the bowl have changed. There are now only 11 pieces of fruit in the bowl, and only 1 is an orange.
The chance that Sean takes an orange is
1
11

Answer: 24.5 </h3>
============================================================
Explanation:
It might help to draw it out. See the diagram below.
The base is JK which is 7 units long. I'm picking this as the base because this segment is completely horizontal.
Notice how the base JK spans from x = -3 to x = 4, which we can use subtraction and absolute value to get |J-K| = |-3-4| = 7.
The height is always perpendicular to the base. If the base is JK = 7, then the height is the vertical distance from K (or J) to L. This vertical distance is also 7 units. Subtract the y coordinates and apply absolute value. The base and height aren't always the same number.
Now we can find the area of the triangle
area = base*height/2
area = 7*7/2
area = 49/2
area = 24.5 square units
