Answer:

The likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days is 0.5625

Step-by-step explanation:

Total no. of pair of socks = 24

No. of black pairs = 18

We are given that  he selects one pair of socks on Monday and one on Tuesday. Since he has lots of clean socks in the drawer he does not do laundry.

So, It is  a case of replacement

He always wears black pants.

We are supposed to find he likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days i.e. Black socks both days.

So ,Probability of wearing black socks on Monday = \frac{18}{24}

So ,Probability of wearing black socks on Tuesday =\frac{18}{24}

So,the likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days = \frac{18}{24} \times \frac{18}{24}=0.5625

Hence the likelihood that the professor's socks matched his pants on both days is 0.5625

Suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 2.2, 4.5, and 6.7. Is this a right triangle?
laila [671]
You can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c is the longest side of the triangle
2.2^2 + 4.2^2 = 6.7^2
4.84 + 17.64 = 44.89
22.48 =/= 44.89
That is not a right triangle

avanturin [10]

Answer: 5.5 inches, 3.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Barry wants to make a drawing i.e. half the size of original

The length and width of the original drawing are  11 inches and 7 inches respectively.

So, the intended drawing is obtained by multiplying the original dimensions by \frac{1}{2}

The length of barry's drawing is

\Rightarrow 11\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow 5.5\ \text{inches}

The breadth of barry's drawing

\Rightarrow 7\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow 3.5\ \text{inches}
