Answer:

Probability of choosing a black pair of pants and shoes = \frac{6}{91}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total number of pants Mike has =\textrm{ 3 tan pants + 5 jeans + 2 black pants + 3 gray pants = 13 pair of pants}

Probability of randomly choosing a pair of black pants = \frac{\textrm{Number of Black pants}}{\textrm{Total number of pants}} = \frac{2}{13}

Total number of shoes Mike has = \textrm{ 2 brown shoes + 3 black shoes + 2 blue shoes = 7 pairs of shoes}

Probability of randomly choosing a pair of black shoes = \frac{\textrm{Number of Black shoes}}{\textrm{Total number of shoes}} = \frac{3}{7}

Probability of choosing a black pair of pants and shoes =  \frac{2}{13}\times \frac{3}{7} = \frac{6}{91}

What is the correct evaluation of 4x2 + 4x - 2y2 +3y, when x is equal to -2 and y is equal to 3?
____ [38]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

This all comes down to the substitution. I am assuming that (4x2) is meant to be 4x^2 so I will solve as that.

4(-2)^2 = 4(4) = 16

4(-2) = - 8    

-2(3)^2 = -2(9) = -18

3(3) = 9

16-8-18+9= -1
