An economy pack of highlighters contains 12 yellow, 6 blue, 4 green, and 3 orange highlighters. An experiment consists of randomly selecting one of the highlighters and recording its color. Find the probability that a blue or yellow highlighter is selected given that a yellow highlighter is selected.

The probability of choosing a blue or yellow highlighter when one yellow highlighter is picked is 17/25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, according to the question:

Total number of yellow highlighters  = 12

Total number of blue  highlighters  = 6

Total number of green highlighters  = 4

Total number of orange  highlighters  = 3

So, the total number of highlighters  =  12 + 6 + 4 + 3  = 25

Let E1 : Event of selecting a yellow highlighter.

P(E1)  =  =

Let E2 : Event of selecting blue or yellow highlighter ONCE yellow highlighter is selected.

So, the total yellow highlighters left after selecting one = 12 -1  = 11

Also, the number of blue highlighter  =  6

So, the TOTAL FAVORABLE options to E2 = 6+ 11 = 17

P(E2)  =

=

Hence, the probability that a blue or yellow highlighter is selected given that a yellow highlighter is selected is 17/25.

the equation cos(35) =a/25 can be used to find the length of bc what is the length of bc? round to the nearest tenth
