Answer:

8/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcome to the number of total outcome. The probability that an event will happen added to the probability that the event will not happen gives 1. In other words, the outcome of a probability cannot exceed 1.

The probability that an event a will happen or that another independent event b will happen is the sum of the probability that a will happen to the probability that b will happen.

Given that there are 25 red clips, 15 blue clips, 15 green clips and 20 pink clips,

total number of clips available

= 25 + 15 + 15 + 20

= 75

probability of picking a

red paper clip = 25/75

blue paper clip = 15/75

Probability of selecting red or blue paper clip

= 25/75 + 15/75

= 40/75

= 8/15

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Round to the nearest whole number. In order to find the standard deviation, we first have to calculate the mean (average) of the numbers. To get this we add all the numbers together and then divide by 12 since there are 12 numbers. The mean = 782. Next, we take each number and subtract the mean, taking the result and squaring it.
