Answer
Step-by-step explanation
You would use the pythagorean theorem for this problem. The point on the y-axis is 5 away from (0,0). The point on the x-axis is 3 away. You would square these, leading from
5+3 to
25+9=
Answer is .
Consider such events:
A - slip with number 3 is chosen;
B - the sum of numbers is 4.
You have to count
Use formula for conditional probability:
1. The event consists in selecting two slips, first is 3 and second should be 1, because the sum is 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 1 and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event
is
2. The event consists in selecting two slips with the sum 4. The number of favorable outcomes is exactly 2 (1st slip 3 and 2nd slip 1 or 1st slip 1 and 2nd slip 3) and the number of all possible outcomes is 5·4=20 (you have 5 ways to select 1st slip and 4 ways to select 2nd slip). Then the probability of event
is
3. Then
