Answer:

x = 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

AD/AB = DE/BC (Similarity Theorem)

AD = 6 + 4 = 10

AB = 6

DE = 2

BC = x

Plug in the values

10/6 = 2/x

Cross multiply

10*x = 2*6

10x = 12

Divide both sides by 10

x = 12/10

x = 1.2

The probability of drawing a pearl bead out of a bag of mixed beads is 2/3. What is the probability of drawing a bead which is n

Georgia [21]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$ probability of drawing a bead which is not a pearl

Step-by-step explanation:

For each bead that you draw, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is a pearl bead, or it is not. The sum of these probabilities = 100% = 1.

2/3 probability of drawing a pearl bead.

p probability of drawing a non pearl bead.

What is the probability of drawing a bead which is not a pearl?

$p + \frac{2}{3} = 1$

$p = 1 - \frac{2}{3}$

$p = \frac{3*1 - 2}{3}$

$p = \frac{1}{3}$

$\frac{1}{3}$ probability of drawing a bead which is not a pearl
