explain why in a drawer only containing two different colors of socks one must pull 3 out to find a matching pair?

If there are only two colors (let's say blue and red), here's what can happen:
sock #1 is blue
#2 is either blue or red. If blue, it matches #1 and you have a pair.
if red, go to #3
#3-either blue or red. If blue, matches #1. If red, matches #2.

OR sock #1 is red... then just reverse the colors. Basically, if you have three things that can only be in two groups, then even if two of them are different, the last one has to match one of them.

If f(x) = 3 ^ x - 7 and g(x) = x ^ 2 + 11 , the value of f(2) - g(7) is:

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The value of $f(2) - g(7)=-58$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have

$f(x) = 3 ^ x - 7\\\\f(2) = 3 ^ 2 - 7\\\\=9-7\\\\=2\\\\g(x) = x ^ 2 + 11\\\\g(7) = 7 ^ 2 + 11\\\\=49+11\\\\=60\\\\f(2) - g(7)=2-60\\\\=-58$

As part of a quality-control study aimed at improving a production line, the weights (in ounces) of 50 bars of soaps are measure

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

The variable of interest is the weight in ounces of a soap bar.

Attached is a QQplot diagram.

A Q-Q plot is a diagram that compares two probability distributions, in this case, the probability distribution of the data set against the theoretical normal distribution. If the observed data matches the theoretical sets, you can say that that population follows said distribution.

As you can see in the graphic the observed values (blue dots) fit the normal theoretical quantiles, so we can say that the data appear to come from a normal distribution.

I hope it helps.
