A contestant on a game show must choose 2 of 16 boxes. Once a box is chosen, it is removed from the game. Of the 16 boxes, 3 contain money, 5 contain traveling prizes, and 8 are empty. What is the probability that both boxes are empty?

7 / 30

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a selection without replacement probability :

Total boxes = 16

With money = 3

With traveling prices = 5

Empty = 8

P(choosing 2 empty boxes) :

P(empty) * P(empty)

P(empty) = Number of empty boxes / total number of boxes

First pick = empty

P(empty) = 8 / 16 = 1/2

Without replacement :

Second pick = empty

P(empty) = 7 / 15

P(choosing 2 empty boxes) = 1/2 * 7/15 = 7 /30

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|
