Answer:

The probability of pulling two of the same types of cookies in a row without replacement is \frac{51}{105}.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 21 * 20 = 420 different outcomes (After you take one cookie out, you aren't replacing it, so there will be 20 cookies in the jar on the second grab). There are a total of 9 * 8 = 72 different combinations of two sugar cookies, and 12 * 11 = 132 different combinations of two snickerdoodle cookies, so the total probability of pulling two of the same types of cookies in a row without replacement is \frac{132+72}{420} = \frac{204}{420} = \frac{51}{105}.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

10.2% of adults will belong to health clubs and will go to the club at least twice a week

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that the event H=an adult belongs to a health  club  and the event T= he/she goes at least twice a week , then if both are independent of each other:

P(T∩H)= P(H)*P(T)  ( probability of the union of independent events → multiplication rule )

replacing values

P(T∩H)= P(H)*P(T) = 0.20 * 0.51 =0.102

then  10.2% of adults will belong to health clubs and will go to the club at least twice a week

Find the answer to the algebra equation: 18xy - 27y
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Im assuming you are supposed to factor this problem considering there is no = sign. starting with numbers, you can factor, or divide, both of those numbers by 9. moving on to letters, both terms have a “y” attached to them, so you can take out a y as well. leaving you with the simplified equation being

9y (2x-3)
