What is P(A), the probability that the first student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(B), the probability that the second student is a girl? (3/4)What is P(A and B), the probability that the first student is a girl and the second student is a girl? (1/2)
The probability that the first student is a girl is (3/4), likewise for the 2nd 3rd and 4th it's still (3/4). The order you pick them doesn't matter.
However, once you're looking at P(A and B) then you're fixing the first position and saying if the first student is a girl what's the probability of the second student being a girl.
The answer is A, -41.
Substitution:
-8(2) - (-41)
-16 + 41
25.
Square root of 25 = 5.
5 = 4x - 3.
5 = 4(2) - 3
5 = 8 - 3
5 = 5.
3x-5x-4x=6+2+4
-6x=12
x=-2
Hope this can help.
