Answer:

30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 1 kg 23% copper bars, and y is the number of 1 kg 79% copper bars, then:

x + y = 48

0.23x + 0.79y = 0.44(48)

Substituting and solving:

0.23x + 0.79(48-x) = 0.44(48)

0.23x + 37.92 - 0.79x = 21.12

16.8 = 0.56x

x = 30

y = 48 - x

y = 18

You need 30 each of 23% bars and 18 each of 79% bars.

Answer:

choosing two socks from a drawer of black and white socks without replacement

Step-by-step explanation:

Dependent events have results that depend on each other.  When I take one sock out, there are less socks in the drawer to pick from.  The probability of picking a certain sock changes because the number of socks are different when I do not put the sock back.  That makes the events dependent.

When I put the sock back, the  probability goes back to what it was before I took the sock, and now the results do not depend on each other, so when they are replaced, they are independent
