morning in the dark in randomly reach into the sock drawer to get your socks after a day of wearing the socks you do not replace them until the weekend after you have done some laundry what is the probability that your sock selection goes in the following order for this week?

Answer:

567/398475 in fraction or 0.0014229249 in decimal

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, we are given these values

Total pair of socks = 25 pairs of socks

9 pairs of white socks

7 pairs of black socks

6 pairs of brown socks

3 pairs of blue socks

From the question, we can see that, this is probability without replacement.

Hence,

P(Black then white then white the brown then blue)=

7/25 × 9/24× 8/23 ×6/22 × 3/21

= 9072/6375600

= 567/398475

Therefore, the Probability of picking a Black socks then white socks then white socks , then brown socks and then blue socks = 567/398475 in fraction or 0.0014229249 in decimal

Answer:

0.0014 = 0.14%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to find the total number of pairs:

9 + 7 + 6 + 3 = 25 pairs

Then, we need to find the probability for each case:

First socks black: 7 pairs over 25: P1 = 7/25

Second socks white: 9 pairs over 24: P1 = 9/24 = 3/8

Third socks white: 8 pairs over 23: P1 = 8/23

Fourth socks brown: 6 pairs over 22: P1 = 6/22 = 3/11

Fifth socks blue: 3 pairs over 21: P1 = 3/21 = 1/7

The final probability will the the product of all probabilities above:

P = (7/25) * (3/8) * (8/23) * (3/11) * (1/7) = 0.0014 = 0.14%

Two numbers total 31 and have a difference of 9. Find the two numbers.
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

20, 11

Step-by-step explanation:

x=first Number

x-9=second number

above two added together=31 or

x+(x-9)=31

2x=40

x=20 first number

x-9=second number

20-9=11 second number

20 (first number) + 11 (second number)=31

31=31

Jamie and Stella are saving money to sign up for a school trip to Washington, D.C. In order to sign up for the trip, they must p
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

1. Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

2. Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

3. If Jamie washes x no. of cars and Stella makes y no. of pies, then,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

4. Yes, Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, Jamie needs "$ g" for the  trip. Then, according to the question,

g = 600 -------------------(1)

Let, Stella needs "$ m" for the trip. Then, according to the question,

m = 600 -------------(2)

if Jamie washes x no. of cars for $25 each and Stella makes y no. of pies

for $ 15 each, then, according to the question,

25x ≥ 600 ≥ 15y -------------(3)

Yes,  Stella can afford to sign up for the trip with the money she earns. Because, she can make at most 40 pies for $15 each and

$ 40 \times 15 = $ 600 = The amount of money Stella needs for the trip.

Can I have help with the question
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Midpoint = (3.5, 4.5)

Perpendicular bisector = y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

[] We can solve this using the midpoint formula:

-> See attached

[] Plug-in our coordinates and solve:

(\frac{7+0}{2} ,\frac{0+9}{2} )=(\frac{7}{2} ,\frac{9}{2} )=(3.5,4.5 )

[] Now we will find the slope to solve for the perpendicular bisector.

-> We will use slope-intercept form, see attached

\frac{9-0}{0-7}=\frac{9}{-7}

-> The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, so \frac{7}{9} will be the slope of or perpendicular bisector

-> Now we can solve for the equation by using y – y1 = m ( x – x1), were y1 and x1 are the coordinates of our midpoint

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} (x-3.5)

y - 4.5 = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18}

y = \frac{7}{9} x-\frac{49}{18} + 4.5

y =  \frac{7}{9} x + \frac{16}{9}

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)

Macario is making 12 pounds of nut mixture with macadamia nuts and almonds. Macadamia nuts cost $9 per pound and almonds cost $5
Fynjy0 [20]

Marcario should use  4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.

Explanation

given

cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9

cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25

cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5

total pounds of the mixture to be made=12

let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x

pounds of almond nuts=y

total pounds of nuts=x+y=12

x+y=12(1)\\9x+5.25y=6.5(x+y)\\\\9x+5.25y=6.5*12\\9x+5.25y=78(2)

solving (1) and (2)

x=4

y=8

What are the coordinates of the circumcenter of a triangle with vertices A(0,1) B(2,1) and C(2,5)?
yawa3891 [41]
THis is a cool question.
1)  Use the point slope form to find the equation of the lines between two of the points (choose two points that when a line is drawn between them make a chord on the circle).
2)  Use the midpoint of a line equation to find the midpoint of the line, then find the slope of the line that is perpendicular at that point and write an equation for it.
 3)  Then do the same thing for the other two points that form a chord on the circle.
4)  Then set the two equations equal to each other and solve.  The point where they meet is the circumcenter.
