Answer:

The probability that the maximum number of draws is required is 0.2286

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the maximum number of draws happens when you pick <em>different colors in the first four pick</em>.

Assume you picked one sock in the first draw. Its probability is 1, since you can draw any sock.

In the second draw, 7 socks left and you can draw all but the one which is the pair of the first draw. Then the probability is \frac{6}{7}

In the third draw, 6 socks left and you can draw one of the two pair colors which are not drawn yet. Its probability is \frac{4}{6}

In the forth draw, 5 socks left and only one pair color, which is not drawn. The probability of drawing one of this pair is \frac{2}{5}

In the fifth draw, whatever you draw, you would have one matching pair.

The probability combined is 1×\frac{6}{7} ×\frac{4}{6}× \frac{2}{5} ≈ 0.2286

The graph represents a function but the table does not. The reason for this is that one input value (70) in the table is associated with two output values (54.6 and 53.11), which is a sure sign that we do NOT have a function here.

When Tomas simplified the expression -2.6 + (-5.4), he got 2.8. what mistake did Tomas likely make?
vladimir2022 [97]

Tomas used incorrectly the rule of signs, the expression should be simplified as follows:

-2.6 + (-5.4)

-2.6 -5.4 = 8

<h3></h3><h3>What mistake did Tomas likely make?</h3>

Here Tomas wants to perform an addition between two numbers:

-2.6 + (-5.4)

And the outcome that Tomas gets is:

-2.6 + (-5.4) = 2.8

Here his mistake seems to bee that he thought the second number was a positive number, and he solved the operation:

-2.6 + 5.4

So, he used wrong the rule of signs.

Remember that the rule of signs says that:

(-)*(+) = (+)*(-) = (-)

Using that, we can rewrite the original expression:

-2.6 + (-5.4)

to:

-2.6 - 5.4

Solving that, we get:

-2.6 - 5.4 = -8

Which is the outcome that Tomas would have gotten if he had used correctly the rule of signs.
