The ratio of boys to girls in a class is 5:4.There are 36Students in the class. how many students are girls?

16 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

boys : girls : total

5          4        5+4 = 9

take the total number of people and divide by 9

36/9 = 4

Each number should be multiplied by 4

boys : girls : total

5*4        4*4     9*4

20          16        36

There are 16 girls

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
