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

What is the transformation of the logarithmic function from the parent log5 x?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: Choice #3 - compressed horizontally and translated by 4 units to the right.

$g(x)=\log_5(4x-16)=\log_5 4(x-4)$

This corresponds to horizontal shift to the right by 4 units and a horizontal compression.

For the cyclic quadrilateral ABCD, which statement is true? A) The sum measure of ∠A and ∠B equals 180°. B) The sum measure of ∠

kifflom [539]

See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
A quadrilateral is called Cyclic quadrilateral if its all vertices lie on the circle.
The opposite angles of a Cyclic - quadrilateral are supplementary
so
∠A+∠C=180°
and
∠B+∠D=180°

therefore
the answer is
C) The sum measure of ∠B and ∠D equals 180°
