Answer:

33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

The order in which the buttons are chosen is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

Desired outcomes:

Five black buttons, from a set of 10

Four brown buttons, from a set of 6.

D = C_{10,5}*C_{6,4} = \frac{10!}{5!(10-5)!}*\frac{6!}{4!(6-4)!} = 3780

Total outcomes:

Nine buttons, from a set of 16.

T = C_{16,9} = \frac{16!}{9!(16-9)!} = 11440

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{3780}{11440} = 0.3304

33.04% probability that exactly five of them are black

Tell whether the triangle with the given side lengths is a right triangle.<br> 10in., 24in., 26in.
ra1l [238]
Answer- Yes it is a right triangle.
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
( a^2 + b^ = c^2 ) and replace a with 10, b with 24, and c with 26 and the equation will be balanced on both sides.

(10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2)
(100 + 576 = 676 )

(3x) + (x+60) = 180

4x + 60 = 180

Subtract 60 from both sides

4x = 120

Divide 4 from both sides

x = 30
