The answer is 0.24

To calculate this, a multiplication rule is used. The multiplication rule calculates the probability that both of two events will occur. In this method, the probabilities of each event are multiplied. Here we have two events:

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy,

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl.


So, let's calculate these probabilities:

There are in total 5 children:

2 boys + 3 girls = 5 children.

1. The probability that the pianist will be a boy is 2 boys out of 5 children, which is 2/5.

2. The probability that the alternate will be a girl is 3 girls out of 5 children, which is 3/5.


<span>The probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl is:</span>

<span>2/5 </span><span>× 3/5 = 6/25</span>

<span>6/25 </span><span>× 4/4 = 24/100 = 0.24</span>

Arrange the circles (represented by their equations in general form) in ascending order of their radius lengths. Tiles x2 + y2 −
sashaice [31]
When doing this, we would have to first straight them all out, and as we see above, they are just all over the place, and then, we would have to set them up as a sequence.

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5x2 + 5y2 - 20x + 30y + 40 = 0\end{array}\right] would be our first step in this problem mainly because it contains the most terms in this aspect.

Then we would then x2 + y2 - 2x + 2y -1 = 0, then, 2x2 + 2y2 - 28x - 32y - 8 = 0.

These would only be our first 3 part of the sequence in this aspect.

The others would then be the following:

\boxed{x2 + y2 + 12x - 2y - 9 = 0 } \ then \ , \boxed{x2 + y2 - 4x + 4y - 10 = 0} \\ \\ then \ \boxed{x2 + y2 - 8x - 6y -20 = 0}

Thus, as we would have one more afterward, our last part of the sequence would then be the following.

\boxed{\boxed{4x2 + 4y2 + 16x + 24y - 40 = 0}}

I hope this was found helpful!

Brody has his computer repaired at store A. His bill was:
PIT_PIT [208]

Initial repair cost = $1200

Gratuity = 15% of the initial repair cost

= 15% of 1200

=\frac{15}{100} (1200)

= 15 × 12

= 180

Hence, the gratuity for the service is $180.
