Answer:

Probability = \frac{1}{5} or Probability = 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Black = 25

White = 35

Red = 40

Required

Determine the probability of selecting Black and Red

First, we need to calculate the number of red and black balls

The probability is calculated as thus:

Probability = P(Black\ and \ Red) \ or\ P(Red\ and \ Black)

Convert to mathematical expressions

Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]

Solve for each probaility;

P(Black) = \frac{Black}{Total} = \frac{25}{100}

P(Red) = \frac{Red}{Total} = \frac{40}{100}

So, we have:

Probability = [P(Black) *P(Red)] + [P(Red) *P(Black)]Probability = [\frac{25}{100} *\frac{40}{100}] + [\frac{40}{100} *\frac{25}{100}]

Probability = [\frac{1000}{10000}] + [\frac{1000}{10000}]

Probability = [\frac{1}{10}] + [\frac{1}{10}]

Probability = \frac{1+1}{10}

Probability = \frac{2}{10}

Probability = \frac{1}{5}

or

Probability = 0.2

Quadrilateral KLMN has vertices of K(-4,-1), L(-1,-1) M(-2,-5) and N(-4,-4) Find the length of MN
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The length of MN is \sqrt{5} units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given Quadrilateral KLMN has vertices at K(-4,-1), L(-1,-1) M(-2,-5) and N(-4,-4).

We use the distance formula to find the length of MN.

|MN|=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

We plug in the values to get

|MN|=\sqrt{(-4--2)^2+(-4--5)^2}

|MN|=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(1)^2}

|MN|=\sqrt{4+1}

|MN|=\sqrt{5}

The length of MN is \sqrt{5} units.
