There are 9 students in a class: 2 boys and 7 girls. If the teacher picks a group of 4 at random, what is the probability that e

notsponge [240]

Answer:

<h2>28% probability that every student in the group is a girl.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we have independent events, that is, the event "picking a girl" doesn't affect an "picking a boy", also, picking picking a girl doesn't affect the probability of the other subjects.

So, the probability when the first girl is being picked is:

$P_{1}=\frac{7 \ girls}{9 \ students}$

Because among the total 9 students, there are 7 girls.

Now, after picking one girl, there remains 6 girls and 8 students to be picked. So, the probability of the second girl would be:

$P_{2}=\frac{6 \ girls}{8 \ students}$

Then, the probability of the third girl:

$P_{3}=\frac{5 \ girls}{7 \ students}$

The fourth girl probability:

$P_{3}=\frac{4 \ girls}{6 \ students}$

Therefore, the probability of picking all 4 girls would be the product of each probability, because events are independent (we use product when they are independent):

$P=\frac{7 \ girls}{9 \ students} \times \frac{6 \ girls}{8 \ students} \times \frac{5 \ girls}{7 \ students} \times \frac{4 \ girls}{6 \ students}\\P=\frac{5}{18}=0.28 \ (or \ 28\%)$

Therefore, there's 28% probability that every student in the group is a girl.

Eighth grade ) T.5 Pythagorean theorem: word problems 87U

Komok [63]

Answer:

The tree is 12 feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the length of where the bird was sitting to the oak tree

let b represent the height of the tree

let c represent the length at which the bird flew

by pythagoras theorem

c²=a²+b²

b²=c²-a²

$b = \sqrt{ {c}^{2} - {a}^{2} }$

subtitute in the values

$b = \sqrt{ {15}^{2} - {9}^{2} }$

$b = \sqrt{225 - 81}$

$b = \sqrt{144}$

$b = 12$

Answer:

Concept: Inverse Functions

We want the inverse of a root function which is x^1/2
Now we combine that result to get
${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{ { x }^{2} }{3} - 2$
