Selecting a State Choose one of the 50 states at random.
a. What is the probability that it begins with M?
b. What is the probability that it doesn't begin with a
vowel?

PART ONE- 8/50 PART 2-38/50

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we know that there are 50 states. Lets see how many states begins with M first.

Maine‎ (27 C, 5 P)

Maryland‎ (28 C, 5 P)

Massachusetts‎ (29 C, 4 P)

Michigan‎ (28 C, 4 P)

Minnesota‎ (28 C, 2 P)

Mississippi‎ (27 C, 6 P)

Missouri‎ (25 C, 3 P)

Montana‎ (27 C, 6 P)

There are 8 states which means that the probabilty is 8/50 which simplifies to 4/25

We know that 12 states begins with a vowel. 50-12 is 38/50

(sin 42)/31. = sinx)/37

sinx = 37 (sin42)/31

= 37× 0.66/31 = 0.787

x= 51.9

other angle opposite to y = 180-51.9-42

= 180- 93.9 =86.1

so

sin42)/31 = sin 86.1)/y

0.021 = 0.997 /y

y= 0.997/0.021 =47.47

c) the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"

step-by-step explanation:

town a, median = q2 = 30

town b, median - q2 = 25

so the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"
