Anthony is making a collage for his art class by picking shapes randomly. he has five squares, two triangles, two ovals, and four circles. find p(a square is not chosen first).

8/13

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of shapes = 5 (squares) + 2( triangles) + 2 (ovals) + 4 (circles)

= 13 shapes

P (of a choosing a square first) is given as =

\frac{Number of favorable outcomes}{total number of outcomes}  

= 5/13

Therefore , 5/13 is the probability that a square shape is picked first.

Now, we know, probability , P + P' = 1

where P is the probability of happening any event.

& P' is the probability of that event not happening.

So, to find the probability of not picking up the square shape first, we do : 1 - {5/13} = 8/13

Therefore , 8/13 is the probability that a square shape is NOT picked first.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
