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%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y > 2/3x - 1/5

y ≥ 3/2x + 1/5

y ≤ 2/3x + 1/5

y < 3/2x - 1/5

(Assume that the question want you to draw a graph)

Remember:

six friends are going to the state fair.The cost of one admission is $9.50, and the cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.
larisa86 [58]

We are given

total number of friends =6

the cost of one admission is $9.50

now, we can find total cost for admission

total cost for admission= total number of friends*cost of one admission

total cost for admission=6*9.50

we are given

cost for one ride on the Ferris wheel is $1.50

now, we can find total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride= total number of friends*cost of one ride

total cost for Ferris wheel ride=6*1.50

now, we can find total cost

total cost =total cost for admission+total cost for Ferris wheel ride

total cost=6*9.50+6*1.50

now, we can solve it

total cost=6(9.50+1.50)

total cost=6*11

total cost=66

so, the total cost is $66...........Answer

A moving company charges $840 plus $17 per hour. Another moving company charges $760 plus $22 per hour.how long is job that cost
adoni [48]
1. Make an equation.
Moving company #1: y = 17x + 840
Moving company #2: y = 22x + 760

2. Put the equations together and solve
17x + 840 = 22x + 760
-17x            -17x
840 = 5x + 760
-760        -760
80 = 5x 
5       5
16 = x

When a job is 16 hours they both charge the same thing.
