Jeff has 4 red pens and 2 blue pens in his backpack. He also has 3 yellow highlighters and 2 green highlighters in his backpack. If he reaches into his backpack and grabs one pen and one highlighter without looking, what is the probability that he will grab a red pen and a yellow highlighter?

1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability,

"AND" means "multiplication"

"OR" means "ADDITION"

We want probability of Blue Pen and Yellow Highlighter. So we find individual probabilities and "MULTIPLY" them.

Let P(b) be probability of blue pen

Let P(y) be probability of yellow highlighter

We know probability of event is that event divided by total number of that

So,

There are 4 + 2 = 6 pens

Blue pen = 2

Hence,

P(b) = 2/6 = 1/3

And,

There are 5 highlighters

Yellow highlighter = 1

Hence,

P(y) = 1/5

Now,

P(b and y) = 1/3 * 1/5 = 1/15

Hence,

probability of grabbing blue pen and a yellow highlighter is  1/15

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
