<h3>The probability that he pulls out either a black or white sock, puts it back and then pulls out a brown sock is (\frac{22}{169} )</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here , as given the total number of:

White Socks  = 16

Brown Socks = 4

Black socks  = 6

So, the total number of socks in the drawer   = 16 + 4 + 6 = 26 socks

Now, the probability of picking a sock either a black or white sock is

= \frac{\textrm{Total number of black + white sock}}{\textrm{The total number of socks}}  = \frac{16+6}{26}  = \frac{22}{26}  = \frac{11}{13}

Also, the picked sock is <u>replaced</u>. So, now the total socks are same = 26.

the probability of picking a brown sock is

= \frac{\textrm{Total number of brown sock}}{\textrm{The total number of socks}}  = \frac{4}{26}  = \frac{2}{13}

Now, since both events are <u>independent events</u> , so the combined probability is given as:

P (E) = (\frac{11}{13} )\times (\frac{2}{13} ) = (\frac{22}{169} )

Hence, the probability that he pulls out either a black or white sock, puts it back and then pulls out a brown sock is (\frac{22}{169} )

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality 2x + y &gt; 8 ? Choose all answers that are correct.
gtnhenbr [62]
Hi again!

2x + y > 8

The correct answer is option D
-------------------------------------------

Honestly I don't think we can solve the equation to find the answer. What we can do is to find the boundary line. (I think you know what that is) After that, shading the appropriate area.

y > -2x + 8

Again, credit to my beautiful graphing calculator. Here is how it looks like.

Gertrude takes out a $5,500 subsidized stafford loan, which must be paid back in ten years. gertrude will graduate four years af
Leno4ka [110]

The total amount of interest will Gertrude pay by the time the subsidized Stafford loan is repaid is $2094.80.

<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>

Compound interest is the amount charged on the principal amount and the accumulated interest with a fixed rate of interest for a time period.

The formula for the final amount with the compound interest formula can be given as,

A=P\times\left(1+\dfrac{r}{n\times100}\right)^{nt}\\

Here, A is the final amount (principal plus interest amount) on the principal amount P of with the rate<em> r </em>of in the time period of <em>t.</em>

Gertrude will graduate four years after taking out the loan. if the loan has an interest rate of 6.8%, compounded monthly, and Gertrude makes monthly payments.

Put the values in the above formula as,

5500=P_{mt}\times\left(1-\dfrac{6.8}{12\times100}\right)^{-12\times10}\\P_{mt}=63.29

In the 10 years, the refund she gets,

A_r=63.29\times12\times100\\A_r=7594.8

Interest paid by her is,

I=7594.8-5500\\I=2094.8

Thus, the total amount of interest will Gertrude pay by the time the subsidized Stafford loan is repaid is $2094.80.
