Answer 1

Answer:

1.) It's 20th century painting

2.) 0.5 probability

Step-by-step explanation:

If the universal = 60

We need to first get the value of X. That is,

x (x - 2) + x + 2x + 8 + 10 = 60

First open the bracket

x^2 - 2x + x + 2x + 8 + 10 = 60

x^2 + x + 18 = 60

x^2 + x - 42 = 0

Factorise the above equation

x^2 + 7x - 6x - 42 = 0

x (x + 7) -6(x + 7) = 0

x = 6 or - 7

Since x can't be negative, so we will ignore -7

The value for T = 6(6 - 2) = 6×4 = 24

The value for B = 2(6) + 8 = 12 + 8 = 20

If a painting is chosen from random,

If it's from 20th century, the probability will be 34/60 = 0.567

If it's from British painting, the probability will be 30/60 = 0.5

We can therefore conclude that it's from 20th century painting since it has higher value of probability.

The the probability of choosing a British painting will be 30/60 = 0.5
