Answer:

The probability is 0.383.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 democrats and 6 republicans  

Number of ways in which 4 democrats and 2 republicans can be selected=\[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}\]

Number of ways in which 5 democrats and 1 republican can be selected= \[{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}\]

Number of ways in which 6 democrats can be selected = \[{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

So, favourable outcomes are \[{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}\]

Total possible outcomes =\[{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}\]

Now, probability=\[\frac{Favourable}{Possible}=\frac{{}^{7}{{C}_{4}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{2}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{5}}\times {}^{6}{{C}_{1}}+{}^{7}{{C}_{6}}}{{}^{13}{{C}_{6}}}=0.383\]

Answer: arc ef is 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Since EF and FG are the same length (given)

and DE and DG are the same length (both are radius of the circle)

and DF is a shared side, the 2 inscribed triangles are congruent, making angle EDF also 68

The measure of an arc is the same as the measure of the angle across from it
