Answer:
24.24%
Step-by-step explanation:
In other words we need to find the probability of getting one blue counter and another non-blue counter in the two picks. Based on the stats provided, there are a total of 12 counters (6 + 4 + 2), out of which only 4 are blue. This means that the probability for the first counter chosen being blue is 4/12
Since we do not replace the counter, we now have a total of 11 counters. Since the second counter cannot be blue, then we have 8 possible choices. This means that the probability of the second counter not being blue is 8/11. Now we need to multiply these two probabilities together to calculate the probability of choosing only one blue counter and one non-blue counter in two picks.
or 0.2424 or 24.24%

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll show you how to do the first one; the other are exactly the same, so pay attention.
The formula for arc length is
where θ is the central angle's measure. It just so happens that the measure of the central angle is the same as the measure of the arc it intercepts. Our arc shows a measure of 40°; this measure is NOT the same as the length. Measures are in degrees while length is in inches, or cm, or meters, etc. Going off that info, our central angle measures 40°. Filling in the formula and using 3.1415 for π:
. I'm going to reduce that fraction a bit (and I'll use the same reduction in the Area of a sector coming up next):
which makes
AL = 2.09 units. Now for Area of the Sector. The formula is almost identical, but instead uses the idea that the area of a circle is πr²:
where θ is, again, the measure of the central angle (which is the same as the measure of the arc it intercepts). Filling in:
which simplifies a bit to
. As you can see, the 9's cancel each other out, leaving you with
units²
