Answer:

The probability that Jenny picked a gray tile with her second pick given that she picked a blue tile with her first pick = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

i.) there are 6 gray tiles and 3 blue tiles

ii) the probability that Jenny picked a blue tile first is given by

$\frac{number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} blue\hspace{0.1cm} tiles }{total \hspace{0.1cm}number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm}tiles\hspace{0.1cm} } = \frac{3}{9} = \frac{1}{3}$

iii) the probability that Jenny picked a gray tile with her second pick without replacing the first tile $\frac{number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} blue\hspace{0.1cm} tiles }{total \hspace{0.1cm}number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm}tiles\hspace{0.1cm} } \times \frac{number\hspace{0.1cm} of \hspace{0.1cm} gray\hspace{0.1cm} tiles }{total \hspace{0.1cm}number\hspace{0.1cm } of \hspace{0.1cm}tiles\hspace{0.1cm} - 1 } = \frac{3}{9} \times \frac{6}{8} = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25$

The probability that Jenny picked a gray tile with her second pick given that she picked a blue tile with her first pick = 0.25

We have two points describing the diameter of a circumference, these are:

$\begin{gathered} A=(-12,-4) \\ B=(-4,-10) \end{gathered}$

Recall that the equation for the standard form of a circle is:

$(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2$

Where (h,k) is the coordinate of the center of the circle, to find this coordinate, we find the midpoint of the diameter, that is, the midpoint between points A and B.

For this we use the following equation:

$M=(\frac{x_1+x_2_{}_{}}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Now, we replace and solve:

$\begin{gathered} M=(\frac{-12+(-4)}{2},\frac{-4+(-10)}{2} \\ M=(\frac{-12-4}{2},\frac{-4-10}{2}) \\ M=(\frac{-16}{2},\frac{-14}{2}) \\ M=(-8,-7) \end{gathered}$

The center of the circle is (-8,-7), so:

$\begin{gathered} h=-8 \\ k=-7 \end{gathered}$

On the other hand, we must find the radius of the circle, remember that the radius of a circle goes from the center of the circumference to a point on its arc, for this we use the following equation:
