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.

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: 9/23

Step-by-step explanation:

1- Convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction.  9 x 2 + 5 = 23 and keep the original denominator.  23/9

2- Now “flip” the fraction to its reciprocal. 23/9 becomes 9/23

3- Check to see if it can be reduced.  It cannot so there’s your answer.  9/23

Neil wants to join three pieces of metal to form a right triangle. which of the following lengths could be used? please use step
vichka [17]

Answer: G. 12.5, 7.5, 10

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the lengths of metal that could be used to form the tight angle triangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

The hypotenuse is the longest side while the opposite and adjacent sides are the shorter side. Therefore,

F.

8² = 4² + 4²

64 = 16 + 16 = 32

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

G.

12.5² = 7.5² + 10²

156.25 = 56.25 + 100 = 156.25

A right angle triangle can be formed because they are equal.

H.

23² = 11² + 9²

529 = 121 + 81 = 202

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.

J.

96² = 12.5² + 6²

9216 = 156.25 + 36 = 192.25

A right angle triangle cannot be formed because they are not equal.
