What if we draw three socks from the box instead. what is the probability that we draw a matching pair? (having all three socks

be the same color also counts as having a matching pair.)?

There is a chance of 1/16*1/15 that she gets the specific socks pair according to laws of probability and the counting principle but thats not how it will work over here.

As we should be guaranteed that she gets the number of socks she obviously must take out around 9 socks as we are taking the worst case scenario where all the socks that come out are the different ones so the ninth sock must match any of the others.

But if we draw three socks obviously the probability is 1/16*1/15*13/14 as we dont want the third one to be same. We can multiply the answer by 3 as it can be in three different orders.

What is the probability of getting an even number on the roll of a six-sided die? 1/6 1/3 1/2
givi [52]

Answer: 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample space when a six sided die is thrown once is :

{ 1,2,3,3,5,6}

The even numbers are :

{2,4,6}

Therefore :

P(even) = n(even) / total number

That is

P(even) = 3/6

P(even) = 1/2

Part A) Find BC, the distance from Tower 2 to the plane, to the nearest foot.

in the triangle ACD
sin16=CD/(7600+BD)--------> CD=sin16*(7600+BD)---------> equation 1 

in the triangle BCD
sin24=CD/BD-----------> CD=sin24*BD---------------> equation 2
equation 1=equation 2
sin16*(7600+BD)=sin24*BD-----> sin16*7600+sin16*BD=sin24*BD
sin24*BD-sin16*BD=sin16*7600----> BD=[sin16*7600]/[sin24-sin16]
BD=15979 ft

in the triangle BCD
cos24=BD/BC---------> BC=BD/cos24-------> 15979/cos24-------> 17491
BC=17491 ft

the answer part 1) BC is 17491 ft

Part 2) Find CD, the height of the plane from the ground, to the nearest foot.

CD=sin24*BD        ( remember equation 2)
BD=15979 ft
CD=sin24*15979 -----------> CD=6499 ft

the answer part 2)  CD is 6499 ft
