Answer: 1/36

Step-by-step explanation: To find the probability of picking a green marble and picking another green marble, it's important to understand that once Yoko chooses the first marble, it's not replaced which means that there are fewer marbles in the bag.

This means that the outcome of the first event affects the outcome of the second event which means that these are dependent events.

When finding the probability of two dependent events, we first find the probability of each event and then multiply the probabilities.

Let's first find the probability of choosing one green marble.

Since there are 2 green marbles are 9 total marbles, the probability of choosing a green marble is 2/9.

Next we find the probability of choosing another green marble. Remember that the first marble was not put back in the jar which means that there are 8 total marbles in the bag.

Since there is only 1 green marble left and 8 of them are in the bag, the probability of choosing another green one is 1/8.

Now to find the probability of choosing a green marble, not replacing it, and choosing another green marble, we multiply (\frac{2}{9}) (\frac{1}{8}).

Image provided.

Therefore, the probability of choosing a green marble, not replacing it, and choosing another green marble is 1/36.

Answer:

  x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertical angles have equal measures, so ...

  2x +10 = 70

  2x = 60 . . . . . . subtract 10

  x = 30 . . . . . . . divide by 2

Find the rule and the graph of the function whose graph can be obtained by performing the translation 3 units left and 2 units d
Leya [2.2K]

Answer: Option a.

Step-by-step explanation:

 1. You have the following parent function given in the problem above:

f(x)=x³ (This is the simplest form. We need to translate it 3 units left and 2 units down)

2. If you take the parent function and make y=f(x+3), then you have:

y=f(x+3)=(x+3)^{3} (The function is shifted 3 units left on the x-axis).

3. Then you if you make y=f(x+3)-2, as following, you obtain:

y=f(x+3)-2=(x+3)^{3}-2  (The function is shifted 2 units down on the y-axis).

4. Therefore, that is how you obtain the final function.

The answer is the graph shown in the option a.
