To be sure of getting a pair of socks of the same color, you must place yourself in the worst position.

When you take out socks without lookong (radomly), the worst scenary is that the first time you take out a sock of a color and in the second fime you take out a sock of different color. Then, the next time (the third time) you necessarily take a sock that match one of the two taken out previously, and so have a pair.

So, the answer is that you must take out three socks to be sure that you have a pair.

Beth left school driving toward the lake one hour before tim. tim drove in the opposite direction going 6 mph slower than beth f

Beth's speed was 60 mph.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>
  • The speed (commonly referred to as v) of an object in everyday use and kinematics is the magnitude of the change in its position over time or the magnitude of the change in its position per unit of time; it is thus a scalar quantity.
  • The distance traveled by an object in a time interval is divided by the duration of the interval; the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration of the time interval approaches zero.
  • Velocity is not the same as speed.

To find what was Beth's speed:

Beth's data:

  • time = 2 hrs; rate = r mph; distance = r×t = 2r miles

Tim's data:

  • time = 1 hr; rate = r-6 mph; distance = r-6 miles

Equation:

  • distance + distance = 174 miles

So,

  • 2r + r - 6 = 174
  • 3r - 6 = 174
  • 3r = 180
  • r = 60 mph (Beth's rate)
  • r-6 = 54 mph (Tims's rate)

Therefore, Beth's speed was 60 mph.

Choosing blue or red: 3 blue + 4 red = 7 marbles
3 blue + 2 green + 4 red + 1 yellow = 10 marbles

Probability blue or red marble: 7/10

Choosing a marble that isn't blue or red: 2 green + 1 yellow = 3 marbles
Total marbles: 3 blue + 2 green + 4 red + 1 yellow = 10 marbles

Probability non-blue or red marble: 3/10
