Answer:

No, the probability of choosing a red marble is not the complement of choosing a blue marble.

P(red) + P(blue) = 3/5, not 1.

The number of blue and red marbles does not add to the total number of outcomes.

There are other marbles besides red ones and blue ones.

Answer:

Below is the sample response

Step-by-step explanation:

The complementary event for choosing a red marble is choosing a blue or purple. The total number of marbles is 5. The probability of choosing a red marble is 1/5, and the complement would be 4/5. That is not the same as choosing a blue marble.

Answer:

See the attached figure for better explanation :

Step-by-step explanation :

1. By the unique line postulate, you can draw only one line segment : BC

Since only one line can be drawn between two distinct points.

2. Using the definition of reflection, reflect BC over l.

To find line segment which reflects BC over l, we will use the definition of reflection.

3. By the definition of reflection, C is the image of itself and A is the image of B.

Definition of reflection says the figure about a line is transformed to form the mirror image. Now, CD is perpendicular bisector of AB so A and B are equidistant from D forming the mirror image of each other.

4. Since reflections preserve length, AC = BC

In Reflection the figure is transformed to form a mirror image, Hence the length will be preserved in case of reflection.
