Greg has a bag of beads that contains 16 black, 20 red, and 4 white beads. he randomly picks a head places it back into the bag and then randomly picks another one. what is the probability that he picks a black and white bead?

4%

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 40 beads in total(16+20+4=40). There are 16 black so the probability of getting a black is 16/40=2/5. Since you put the bead back the bag will still have 40 beads when you pick another one. There are 4 white beads so probability of getting a white is 4/40=1/10. Then we multiply these two probabilities 2/5 * 1/10=1/25=4%.

Note: Order does not matter.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
