Answer:

Probability that event will have both red marbles will be 2.3% or 0.023.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total red marbles=5

Total blue marbles=25

Total number of marbles =30

To Find:

The probability that both are red without replacement of marbles.

Solution:

Now

Total sample space is 30 and total red marbles are 5

For a event that getting red marble probability is ,

=Total red marbles /total marbles.

=5/30

=1/6

So probability if getting red marble is 1/6

<em>Now for second chance there will be 4 red marbles remaining and 29 total marbles so,</em>

In second chance  probability if getting red marble will be

=total red marbles present/total marbles remaining

=4/29

Now ,

The required probability will be getting both at a time

i.e probability getting red AND red marble so here AND operator which means multiple both the probability.

Probability both will have red =1/6*4/29

=4/(29*6)=2/(29*3)

=0.022988

=0.023

=2.3 %

telo118 [61]
The angle of 1/4 of a circle is given by:
 (1/4) * (360) = 90 degrees
 We now look for the angle that results from dividing 1/4 of a circle into three equal parts.
 We have then:
 (1/3) * (90) = 30 degrees.
 Answer:
 
the measure of each part is:
 
30 degrees

8090 [49]
In step 1, the commutative property of addition is used since x + 5 is just equal to 5 + x
In step 2, the associative property of addition is used since x is grouped to the last term.
In step 3, the distributive property of multiplication is used since 3 is multiplied to the terms inside the parenthesis. 
In step 4, multiplication is done.
