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

What is the midpoint​
antoniya [11.8K]

<u>Answer:</u>

(0.5, -0.5)

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given a line segment on the graph with two known points (ending points) and we are to find its mid point.

We know the formula for the mid point:

Midpoint = ( \frac {x_1 + x_2} {2} ,\frac {y_1 + y_2} {2} )

Substituting the coordinates of the given points in the above formula:

Mid point = (\frac {5 + (-4) } {2} , \frac { 6 + (-7)} {2} ) = (0.5, -0.5)
