Answer:

12 starfish

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a system of equations where x is the number of starfish he has and y is the number of spiders he has:

x + y = 19

5x + 8y = 116

Solve by elimination by multiplying the top equation by -8:

-8x - 8y = -152

5x + 8y = 116

Add these together and solve for x:

-3x = -36

x = 12

So, he has 12 starfish.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that is a AB type blood given is a Male

P(AB/M)  = 42/500 = 21/250

Probability that they are Male with an AB type blood out of all AB type blood people = Probability that is a Male out of all students

P(M∩AB) = P(M)  

 (42/105) = (500/1,250)

            .4 = .4 ✅

The events "the student is male" and "the student has blood type AB" are independent events.
