Answer:

The probability of getting a pair of red socks is 0.322

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given data we have that A drawer contains 11 identical red socks and 8 identical black socks, hence, the total number of socks is 19, therefore, in order to calculate the probability of getting a pair of red socks we would have to use the following formula:

probability of getting a pair of red socks=11C2/19C2

probability of getting a pair of red socks=55/171

probability of getting a pair of red socks=0.322

The probability of getting a pair of red socks is 0.322

Use the graph to answer the question. About how many more website hits were there on Tuesday than on Monday? A. 700 B. 400 C. 60
nadezda [96]
In this graph, each day has its own graph, starting at the bottom with Monday, to the top at Sunday. To know how many hits each day had, go to the end of the graph, and the closest number at the bottom is how many hits there were. This graph states that there were around 1900 hits on Tuesday, and 1300 on Monday. To get the answer we then take the difference, getting 600.

9966 [12]

Answer:

x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x+7) 2x + 20  - 2 =  x+4  2x + 8

2x+14 + 2x + 20 - 2 = x + 4 + 2x + 8

4x +32 = 3x + 12

x = -20
