(3.24 Socks in a drawer). In your sock drawer you have 4 blue, 5 gray, and 3 black socks. Half asleep one morning you grab 2 socks at random and put them on. Find the probability you end up wearing

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Probability of ending up wearing 2 blue socks is 1/11.

b) Probability of ending up wearing no grey socks is 7/22.

c) Probability of ending up wearing at least 1 black sock is 5/11.

d) Probability of ending up wearing a green sock is 0.

e) Probability of ending up wearing matching socks is 19/66.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

In your sock drawer, you have 4 blue socks, 5 gray socks, and 3 black ones. Half asleep one morning, you grab 2 socks at random and put them on. Find the probability you end up wearing: a) 2 blue socks. b) no gray socks. c) at least 1 black sock. d) a green sock. e) matching socks.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The following are given in the question:

n(B) = number of Blue socks = 4

n(G) = number of Gray socks = 5

n(K) = number of black socks = 3

Therefore, we have:

n(T) = Total number of socks = n(B) + n(G) + n(K) = 4 + 5 + 3 = 12

To calculate a probability, the following formula for calculating probability is used:

Probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Number of total possible outcomes ……. (1)

Since this is a without replacement probability, we can now proceed as follows:

a) 2 blue socks

P(B) = Probability of ending up wearing 2 blue socks = ?

Probability of first pick = n(B) / n(T) = 4 / 12 = 1 / 3

Since it is without replacement, we have:

Probability of second pick = (n(B) – 1) / (n(T) – 1) = (4 – 1) / (12 – 1) = 3 / 11

P(B) = Probability of first pick * Probability of second pick = (1 / 3) * (3 / 11) = 1 / 11

b) no gray socks.

Number of favorable outcomes = n(B) + n(K) = 4 + 3 = 7

P(No G) = Probability of ending up wearing no gray socks = ?

Probability of first pick = Number of favorable outcomes / n(T) = 7 / 12

Since it is without replacement, we have:

Probability of second pick = (Number of favorable outcomes – 1) / (n(T) – 1) = (7 – 1) / (12 – 1) = 6 / 11

P(No G) = Probability of first pick * Probability of second pick = (7 / 12) * (6 / 11) = 7 / 22

c) at least 1 black sock.

Probability of at least one black sock = 1 - P(No K)

Number of favorable outcomes = n(B) + n(G) = 4 + 5 = 9

Probability of first pick = Number of favorable outcomes / n(T) = 9 / 12 = 3 /4

Since it is without replacement, we have:

Probability of second pick = (Number of favorable outcomes – 1) / (n(T) – 1) = (9 – 1) / (12 – 1) = 8 / 11

P(No K) = Probability of first pick * Probability of second pick = (3 / 4) * (8 / 11) = 24 / 44 = 6 / 11

Probability of at least one black sock = 1 - (6 / 11) = 5 / 11

d) a green sock.

n(Green) = number of Green socks = 0

Since, n(Green) = 0, it therefore implies that the probability of ending up wearing a green sock is 0.

e) matching socks.

This can be calculated using the following 4 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of the probability of matching blue socks

P(matching blue socks) = P(B) = 1 / 11

Step 2: Calculation of the probability of matching gray socks

P(matching green socks) = Probability of matching gray socks = ?

Probability of first pick = n(G) / n(T) = 5 / 12

Since it is without replacement, we have:

Probability of second pick = (n(G) – 1) / (n(T) – 1) = (5 – 1) / (12 – 1) = 4 / 11

P(matching gray socks = Probability of first pick * Probability of second pick = (5 / 12) * (4 / 11) = 20 / 132 = 5 / 33

Step 3: Calculation of the probability of matching black socks

P(matching black socks) = Probability of matching green socks = ?

Probability of first pick = n(K) / n(T) = 3 / 12 = 1 / 4

Since it is without replacement, we have:

Probability of second pick = (n(K) – 1) / (n(T) – 1) = (3 – 1) / (12 – 1) = 2 / 11

P(matching black socks) = Probability of first pick * Probability of second pick = (1 / 4) * (2 / 11) = 2 / 44 = 1 / 22

Step 4: Calculation of the probability of ending up wearing matching socks

P(matching socks) = Probability of ending up wearing matching socks = ?

P(matching socks) = P(matching blue socks) + P(matching grey socks) + P(matching black socks) = 1/11 + 5/33 + 1/22 = (6 + 10 + 3) / 66 = 19/66

a bag contains 6 white marbles and 4 black marbles. a marble is drawn without replacing the first one. what is the probability of drawing a white marble on the first draw, followed by a white marble on the second?

Answers

Answer:

30/90 or 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because we know that 6+4=10. So we know the odds of drawing a white marble first is 6/10. And if we draw one without replacing it. This makes the second time 5/9 for white and 4/9 for black. We can then multiply 6/10 by 5/9 and get 30/90 which is equal to 1/3.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

P=6/10 ×5/9=30/90=1/3

[tex]\sf\implies \dfrac{1}{x {}^{2} - 3 } = \dfrac{ \sqrt{3} }{x + \sqrt{3} } - \dfrac{2}{ \sqrt{3} - x } [/tex]

Let's simplify the equation :-

Solve for the variable indicated
-4x-8y=36 solve for x

Answers

Answer:

x = -2y - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

First isolate the variable by putting the x on a side by itself.

-4x=36+8y (8y becomes positive when it changes sides)

Then divide the entire equation by -4 to make the x stand alone.

x = -9 -2y

Some teachers prefer the variables at the beginning of the equations so it could also read

x = -2y - 9

Hello there!

Question:-

[tex]-4x-8y=36[/tex]

We need to find the value of x.

Solution:-

[tex]\sf \longmapsto-4x-8y=36[/tex]

Firstly, Add 8y to both sides :-

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: - 4x - 8y+8y=36+8y[/tex]

On Simplification:-

As (-) and (+) equals to (-),It Will be 8y-8y.Answer would be 0.

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: - 4x - 0 = 36 + 8y[/tex]

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: - 4x = 8y + 36[/tex]

Then, Divide both sides by -4:-

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{4x}{ - 4} = \dfrac{8y + 36}{ - 4} [/tex]

On Simplification:-

[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: x = - 2y - 9[/tex]

______________________________________

Henceforth the value of x is :-

[tex] \boxed{\tt \: x = - 2y - 9}[/tex]

hi im 7th grade and i feel like people think i smell when i do everything to not smell. i wake up take a shower with soap aplly deoderant and brush teeth. any tips

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This might be a hygiene problem. What causes the unpleasant smell is the bacteria that build up on your sweaty skin and react with sweat and oils to grow and multiply when sweat reacts with bacteria on the skin. These bacteria break down proteins and fatty acids, causing body odor in the process. If deodorant isn’t good enough , I recommend perfume, the perfume smell lasts longer than deodorant I would think. But shower everyday, full clean down, but if ur hygiene is ok, I recommend going to the doctor for a checkup. Hopefully your problem will be resolved. Also use lotion.

The 24/7 Truck Rental Company has been charging an initial rental fee of $29 plus $2.50 per hour for rental of their small trucks. After a change in pricing policy, the new fee will be $19 up front plus $3.25 per hour. After how many hours of renting the truck will the new plan be more expensive than the old plan

Answers

Answer:

14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Old plan :

Initial fee =. $29

Hourly fee = $2.50

New plan :

Initial fee = $19

Hourly fee = 3.25

Let number of hours = x

When new plan will be more expensive than old plan :

19 + 3.25x > 29 + 2.50x

3.25x - 2.50x > 29 - 19

0.75x > 10

x > 10 / 0.75

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x =18

y=-28

Z = -60

An Arithmetic series: 14 + 6 + (–2) + (–10) + (–18) + (–26) + (–34)

The Total value is =  -70

x = 18

y = -28

Z = -60

Calculation of Arithmetic Series

An Arithmetic series: 14 + 6 + (–2) + (–10) + (–18) + (–26) + (–34)

1st an 2nd element difference is = 14 - 6 = 8

2nd and 3rd element difference is = - 6 - 2 = -8

3rd and 4th element difference is = - 2 + 10 = 8

4th and 5th element difference is = -10 + 18 = 8

The difference (x,y and z) is 8 and also it's negative because the series is lowering the previous value.

Now, Proof of x,y and z = - 8

14 - 8 = 6

6 - 8 = - 2

- 2 - 8 = - 10

- 10 - 8 = - 18

- 18 - 8 = - 26

-26 - 8 = -34

Therefore, The value is = total -70

x = 18

y = -28

Z = -60

How many gallons of a 15% sugar solution must be mixed with a 5 gallons of a 40% solution to make a 20% solution

Answers

Answer:

20 gallons of 15% solution must be mixed with 5 gallons of 40% solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of 5 gallons is 2 gallons of sugar

x represents the number of gallons of solution to be added.

15% of x is sugar.

The total amount of sugar must be equal to 20% of the final mixture.

The end mixture will be x + 5 gallons

Change percent to decimal for the equation:

.2(x +5) = .15x +2

.2x +1 = .15x +2

.2x - .15x = 2 -1

.05x = 1

x = 20

Check:

.2(20 +5) = .15(20) +2

.2(25) = 3 + 2

5 = 5 true

This means that adding 20 gallons of the 15% solution is adding 3 gallons of sugar [along with 17 gallons of water] to the 2 gallons of sugar in the original mixture.

20% of the 25 gallons, 5 gallons, of the final mixture is sugar. 80% [ 3+17 = 20 gallons] is water.
