Consider a political discussion group consisting of 8 Democrats, 4 Republicans, and 2 Independents. Suppose that two group members are randomly selected, in succession, to attend a political convention. Find the probability of selecting no Democrats

The probability is 30/182

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of people to select from is

8 + 4 + 2 = 14

We want to select two who are not democrats

Probability of selecting first one who is not a democrat will be 6/14

Probability of selecting a second who is not a democrat will be 5/13

So the probability of the two not being democrats will be 6/14 * 5/13 = 30/182

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
