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

12. A carpenter made two tables. The first table is 4 feet
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

a. True

b. True

c. False

d. False

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>First Table</u>

Length=10 feet, Width=4 feet

Area =10 X 4=40 Square Feet

<u>Second Table</u>

The second table is half as long  as the first table.

Length =0.5 X 10 =5 feet

Area=5 X Width= 5w

The area of the second table is one  fourth the area of the first table.

Area of Second Table =\frac{1}{4} X Area of first table

5w=\frac{1}{4} X 40

5w=10

Width of the Second table, w=2 feet

The following are true.

(a)The width of the second  table is 2 feet.

(b) The area of the second  table is 10 square feet.
