We have to assume that he does all this with his eyes closed, and so his selections are completely random.

-- There are 26 socks in the drawer all together.
-- 10 of them are black or brown.
-- So the probability that he pulls out
       either a black sock or a brown one is 

                                             10/26 = 5/13 = about  38.5% .

-- He puts it back, so there are still 26 socks in the drawer.

-- 16 of them are white.
-- So now, the probability of pulling out a white one is

                                             16/26 = 8/13 = about  61.5% .

The probability of the whole process happening
just exactly as you described it is

                       (10/26) x (16/26)

                 =    (5/13)  x  (8/13)

                 =    (40) / (13²)  =  40/169  =  about  23.7% .

Quick check:

 We got  38.5% the first time, and  61.5% the second time.

            (38.5%) x (61.5%) 
      
       =  (0.385 x 0.615) 

       =  0.2367 ==> 23.7%  <== yay!       that's good enough for me

1.2) Q5.) The graph is a transformation of one of the basic functions. Find the equation that defines the function.
Yuri [45]
The graph starts at around x = 0. At x = 0, the graph's y-value is 2. There are no x-values that are less than 0.

The graph crosses the following points: (1,1); (4,0); (9, -1)

 The distance between each y-value is exponentially increasing, as the slope of the graph is slowly decreasing as x approaches infinity.

Based on this information, we can say that this graph is a transformation of the base function, y = √x

To determine the transformations made, we need to compare the graph to the original base function (attached below).

The basic function starts at 0, and has a positive slope. It reaches the points (1,1); (4,2); and (9,3). 

The graph in the question shows the function start at 2, and the negative slope reaching the points mentioned earlier in the answer. 

Based on this information, we can conclude that y = -√x + 2.
