<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} )

12) Find mZVUT if mZVUT = 10x +9,<br> m_BUT = 7x - 1, and mZVUB= 37º.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

99°

Step-by-step explanation:

  • m∠VUT = 10x + 9
  • m∠BUT = 7x - 1
  • m∠VUB = 37°
  • m∠VUT = ?

<u>We see that</u>

  • m∠VUT = m∠BUT + m∠VUT
  • 10x + 9 = 7x - 1 + 37
  • 10x - 7x = 36 - 9
  • 3x = 27
  • x = 9

<u>Angle VUT measures:</u>

  • 10x + 9 = 10*9 + 9 = 99°

¡ HELP Plz !<br> Graph this line using the slope and y-intercept:<br> y=1/2x-1
Sladkaya [172]
-1 is your x intercept so the first point is going to be at (0,-1) and from there go up 1 and over to the right 2 and mark another point and so one

Can somebody please help me?
ElenaW [278]
 <span>for the first part, realize that the hour and minute hands are moving at different rates; in one hour, the minute hands moves all the way around the face of the clock, and thus moves a total of 360 degrees or 2 pi radians; the hour hand moves only 1/12 away around the clock, so covers only 30 degrees or Pi/6 radians. 

Now, the LINEAR distance traveled by the tip of each hand is also determined by the length of the hand. In the case of the minute hand, it sweeps out a circle of radius 10 cm, so traces out a circle of radius 10 cm. Since the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r, the minute hand (remember it made one complete cycle) covers a distance of 2*pi*10cm=20 Pi cm 

The hour hand covers only 1/12 a circle, but that circle is only 6 cm in radius, so the distance traveled by the tip of the minute hand is: 

1/12 *[2 *pi*r]=1/12*[12*pi]=pi 

so the difference is 19pi 

for the last part, you should draw a diagram of the two hands, the minute hand is 10 cm in length, the hour hand is 6 cm in length, and they are 30 degrees apart...from that drawing, see if you can figure out the remaining leg of the triangle you can form from them 

good luck</span><span>
