Answer:

$\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of coins in the bag = 5 + 4 + 5 + 2 = 16 coins

Number of nickels in the bag = 4

We have to find the probability that Marissa draws a nickels from the bag.

Probability is defined as the ratio of Number of "Favorable Outcomes" to "Total number of possible outcomes"

In this case total number of possible outcomes is the total number of coins which is 16.

Favorable/Desires outcome is drawing a Nickle from the bag which are 4 in number. So, number of favorable outcomes is 4

Therefore, the probability that she will draw a nickel = $\frac{4}{16}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25=25\%$

andriy [413]

Answer:

The sides of ∆ABC are 30 units, 40 units, and 60 units long.

The perimeter will be = $30+40+60=130$ units

Given is that ∆ABC and ∆XYZ are similar and the corresponding sides of ∆XYZ are 'r' times as long as the sides of ∆ABC.

So, perimeter of ∆XYZ will be : $130\times r=130r$ units.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The area of ∆ABC is n square units, so area of ∆XYZ will be :

$\frac{1}{2}(r\times height)(r\times base)$

= $n\times r\times r$

= $nr^{2}$ square units.

If events X and Y are independent, what must be true? Check all that apply.

larisa86 [58]

All these are true when X and Y are independent events:

1) The occurrence or lack of event X does not influence the occurrence of event Y, and the occurrence or lack of event Y does not influence the occurrence of event X.

2) P(X∩Y) = P(X) * P(Y)

3) P(X | Y) = P(X).... this is the probability of X given Y is equal to the probability of X.

4) P (Y | X) = P(Y)

5) P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)
