Natalia is a girl in a math class with a total of 11 girls and 9 boys. If the teacher selects one student at random to go to the board, what is the probability that Natalia will be selected? A box of pens contains a total of 28 pens. If 4 of the pens are red and the rest are blue, what is the probability that the first pen pulled from the box will be red?

Katelyn has a package of 24 jelly beans. There are 9 cherry jelly beans in the package. What is the probability that the first jelly bean Katelyn pulls out of the package will be a cherry jelly bean?

A marble is drawn at random from a bag containing 2 blue marbles, 3 yellow marbles, and 7 orange marbles. What is the probability that the marble is not yellow and not blue?

First, let's find how many students there are in total:

11 girls + 9 boys

= 20 students.

Out of those 20 students, we are trying to find the probability if Natalia will be selected first.

There is only one Natalia.

So, out of those students, the probability of selecting Natalia is a:

1/20 probability

(if wanted to convert into a percentage):

1/20 x 100

= 5% probability

Since we already know there are 28 given pens in total and 4 of them are red pens, there is a:

4/28 chance of selecting a red pen which can be simplified to a 1/7 probability.

(if wanted to convert into a percentage):

1/7 x 100

= 14% probability

Since we already know there are 24 jelly beans in total and 9 of them are cherry beans, there is a:

9/24 chance/probability of selecting a cherry jelly bean.

(if wanted to convert into a percentage):

9/24 x 100

= 37.5% probability

Let's first figure out how many marbles there are in total.

2 + 3 + 7

= 12 marbles in total.

Now let's exclude the marbles that are blue and yellow, leaving us with 7 orange marbles.

So the probability of selecting a marble that isn't blue/yellow is a:

7/12 probability

(if wanted to convert into a percentage)

7/12 x 100

= 58% probability

step-by-step explanation: convert 5\frac{11}{12}5

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{5\times 12+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5×12+11

2 simplify 5\times 125×12 to 6060

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{60+11}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

60+11

3 simplify 60+1160+11 to 7171

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5}{6}x=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

4 simplify \frac{5}{6}x

x to \frac{5x}{6}

3.25+0.5x+1\frac{1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+1

5 convert 1\frac{1}{3}1

to improper fraction. use this rule: a \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ac+b}{c}a

ac+b

3.25+0.5x+\frac{1\times 3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

1×3+1

6 simplify 1\times 31×3 to 33

3.25+0.5x+\frac{3+1}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

3+1

7 simplify 3+13+1 to 44

3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}=\frac{71}{12}3.25+0.5x+

8 simplify 3.25+0.5x+\frac{4}{3}+\frac{5x}{6}3.25+0.5x+

to \frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}

13.75

\frac{13.75}{3}+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}

13.75

9 simplify \frac{13.75}{3}

13.75

to 4.5833334.583333

4.583333+\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}4.583333+

10 subtract 4.5833334.583333 from both sides

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333

11 simplify \frac{71}{12}-4.583333

−4.583333 to \frac{4}{3}

\frac{4x}{3}=\frac{4}{3}

12 multiply both sides by 33

4x=\frac{4}{3}\times 34x=

×3

13 simplify \frac{4}{3}\times 3

×3 to \frac{12}{3}

4x=\frac{12}{3}4x=

14 simplify \frac{12}{3}

to 44

4x=44x=4

15 divide both sides by 44

x=1

Cone w has a radius of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm. square pyramid x has the same base area and height as cone w. paul and manuel disagree on how the volumes of cone w and square pyramid x are related. examine their arguments. which statement explains whose argument is correct and why? paul manuel the volume of square pyramid x is equal to the volume of cone w. this can be proven by finding the base area and volume of cone w, along with the volume of square pyramid x. the base area of cone w is π(r2) = π(82) = 200.96 cm2. the volume of cone w is one third(area of base)(h) = one third third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is one third(area of base)(h) = one third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is three times the volume of cone w. this can be proven by finding the base area and volume of cone w, along with the volume of square pyramid x. the base area of cone w is π(r2) = π(82) = 200.96 cm2. the volume of cone w is one third(area of base)(h) = one third(200.96)(5) = 334.93 cm3. the volume of square pyramid x is (area of base)(h) = (200.96)(5) = 1,004.8 cm3. paul's argument is correct; manuel used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid x. paul's argument is correct; manuel used the incorrect base area to find the volume of square pyramid x. manuel's argument is correct; paul used the incorrect formula to find the volume of square pyramid x. manuel's argument is correct; paul used the incorrect base area to find the volume of square pyramid x.
