Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is 8%

<h3>How to calculate the probability</h3>

Represent the events as follows:

  • A represents mechanical pencil
  • B represents wooden pencil
  • C represents colored pencil

So, we have

P(A) = 20%

P(B) = 40%

P(C) = 30%

The probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is then calculated as:

P(B n A) = P(B) * P(A)

This gives

P(B n A) = 40% * 20%

Evaluate the product

P(B n A) = 8%

Hence, the probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is 8%

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The square lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because a perimeter of 36 meters means that it is 81 ft^2 of total area.

A circle of 36 meters means that it would be 36/2\pir, which would be smaller that 81 ft^2.

2t+5v=37 and 4t+3v=39 

Solve the first for t

t=18.5-2.5v and use this t in the second equation...

4(18.5-2.5v)+3v=39

74-10v+3v=39

-7v=-35

v=$5.00  and since t=18.5-2.5v

t=$6.00

So tuna sandwiches cost $6.00 and vegetarian sandwiches cost $5.00.
