) A class consists of 66 women and 98 men. if 2 students are selected what is the probability they will both be male?

0.3556 or 35.56%

Step-by-step explanation:

the probability of picking a male the first time is

num males = 98

total = 98 + 66 = 164

so the probability the first time is

the probability the second time is

since you already picked a male the first time, num males and total decrease by 1

num males = 98 -1 = 97

total = 164 - 1 = 163

probability the second time is

now multiply the probabilities of both times to get the final probability

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
