Two students from a group of eight boys and 12 girls are sent to represent the school in a parade. if the students are chosen at random, what is the probability that the students chosen are not both girls? a. 12/190b. 33/95c. 62/95d. 178/190

The probability that the students chosen are not both girls is 62/95 ⇒ (c)

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to find the probability of an event  

- The probability of an Event = Number of favorable outcomes ÷ Total

  number of possible outcomes

- P(A) = n(E) ÷ n(S) , where

# P(A) means finding the probability of an event A  

# n(E) means the number of favorable outcomes of an event

# n(S) means set of all possible outcomes of an event

- Probability of event not happened = 1 - P(A)

- P(A and B) = P(A) . P(B)

* Lets solve the problem

- There is a group of students

- There are 8 boys and 12 girls in the group

∴ There are 8 + 12 = 20 students in the group

- The students are sent to represent the school in a parade

- Two students are chosen at random

∴ P(S) = 20

- The students that chosen are not both girls

∴ The probability of not girls = 1 - P(girls)

∵ The were 20 students in the group

∵ The number of girls in the group was 12

∴ The probability of chosen a first girl = 12/20

∵ One girl was chosen, then the number of girls for the second

   choice is less by 1 and the total also less by 1

∴ The were 19 students in the group

∵ The number of girls in the group was 11

∴ The probability of chosen a second girl = 11/19

- The probability of both girls is P(1st girle) . P(2nd girl)

∴ The probability of both girls = (12/20) × (11/19) = 33/95

- To find the probability of both not girls is 1 - P(both girls)

∴ P(not both girls) = 1 - (33/95) = 62/95

* The probability that the students chosen are not both girls is 62/95

it would rotate about 180 degrees.

45.36 feet per second.

step-by-step explanation:

to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work let us convert miles to feet and minutes to seconds.

1 mile = 5280 feet.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

now we will divide 158400 by 3492 to find the most accurate determination for the number of feet per second tyrone traveled on his way to work.

therefore, tyrone traveled on his way to work at the rate of 45.36 feet per second.
