The correct answer is 10.
In order to evaluate any composite function, you need to first put the value in for the inside function. In this case f(x) is on the inside along with the number 3. So, we input 3 in for x in f(x).
f(x) = 2x + 1
f(3) = 2(3) + 1
f(3) = 6 + 1
f(3) = 7
Now that we have the value of f(3), we can stick the answer in for the outside function, which is g(x).
g(x) = (3x - 1)/2
g(7) = (3(7) - 1)/ 2
g(7) = (21 - 1)/2
g(7) = 20/2
g(f(3)) = 10

Imagine we had 5 slots to fill. They are empty initially.
Slot 1 has 5 choices to pick from
Once we pick a letter, we have 4 choices left over for slot 2
Slot 3 will have 3 choices
Slot 4 will have 2 choices
Slot 5 will have 1 choice
We have this countdown: 5,4,3,2,1
which multiplies out to 5*4*3*2*1 = 120
There are 120 unique ways to arrange the letters. Order matters. Because order matters, this is a permutation.

Answer:
16.7%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability is defined by the formula: the number of desirable outcomes over the total outcomes. The total number of outcomes is the sum of all shoes that he could possibly pick:
5 + 7 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 2 + 3 = 36
And the desirable outcomes are those where he picks brown boots, which is 6 outcomes.
Using the formula for probability, we get the expression: 6/36 to represent the probability. It simplifies to 1/6 which is about 16.7%
