Answer: In step 1, Andrew used the commutative property

Explanation:
In step 1 he used commutative, which is a + b = b + a
(- 5.7 + 2.2) = 2.2 + (- 5.7)

Step 2, he used associative property, not the distributive.

Step 3, he just added5.7 + 1.1 = 6.8

Step 4, he distributed the negative sign:
- (6.8) = - 6.8

In step 2, Andrew used the distributive property

Thus is because a -1 was taken out of both -5.7 and -1.1

What's the probability of the compound event for. A bag contains 4 red, 8 blue, 6 yellow and 2 green marbles. Maria selects a ma
Nataly [62]

Given:

Number of red marbles = 4

Number of blue marbles = 8

Number of yellow marbles = 6

Number of green marbles = 2

To find:

The probability of getting a blue marble then a red marble, i.e., P(blue, red).

Solution:

Using the given information,

The total number of marbles = 4+8+6+2

                                                = 20

Probability of getting a blue marble in first draw is

P(Blue)=\dfrac{\text{Number of blue marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}

P(Blue)=\dfrac{8}{20}

P(Blue)=\dfrac{2}{5}

Maria selects a marble, puts it back and then selects a second marble. It means the total number of marbles remains the same.

P(red)=\dfrac{\text{Number of red marbles}}{\text{Total number of marbles}}

P(red)=\dfrac{4}{20}

P(red)=\dfrac{1}{5}

Now, the probability of getting a blue marble then a red marble is

P(blue,red)=\dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{5}

P(blue,red)=\dfrac{2}{25}

Therefore, the required probability P(blue, red) is \dfrac{2}{25}.
