The answer is B. Because there are 8 ribbons in all. 1 ribbon is black. so the equation would be 1/8. Assuming you don't draw the black ribbon on the first try, then you would try again. The second time you draw a ribbon you don't put the ribbon you drew back in. That means there are only 7 ribbons the second time. The 1 black ribbon is still in the bag than the equation would be 1/7. Then you add the two together. So it would be 1/8 + 1/7 = 1/15. Remember to only add the bottom numbers. not the top ones unless they are different colors or objects.
You can use the prefixes to figure this out:
Mono: one
Bi: two
Tri: three
So, because there is only one term, it is a monomial.
Employee statement is the correct answer
We are to find the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction.
Let P(F) represents the event that the book is fiction and P(P) represents the event that the book is paperback. We are to find P(F∩P)
P(F∩P) = P(F) x P(P)
From the tree diagram we can see that:
P(F) = 0.45
P(P) = 0.65
Using the values, we get:
P(F∩P) = 0.45 x 0.65 = 0.2925
So, the Probability the someone buys a book that is paperback and fiction is 0.2925.
So, option B gives the correct answer
