Answer:

The probability of this occurring is 1/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, here is a probability question.

From the question, we can identify the following;

Total number of socks = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 socks

Since we are not given the order in which the socks was worn, we can assume any order.

Let’s say the right leg socks was worn first.

From the question, the socks on the right leg is a brown one.

So now let’s calculate the probability of selecting a brown socks out of the mix

That would be ;

number of brown socks/ total number of socks = 4/8 = 1/2

Now, for the left foot, we are having white sock here.

Kindly recall that since we already have a sock on the right foot, we have 7 socks left to pick from.

Now we need the probability of picking a white sock from the total 7. That would be ; 2/7

So the probability of both action occurring is simply the product of both probabilities and that is ;

1/2 * 2/7 = 1/7

makvit [3.9K]
Isolate the variable by subtracting 8x from both sides to get -4x = -1. multiply both sides by -1 to get 4x = 1. divide both sides by 4 to get x = 1/4.

The Lone Star Shipping Company charges $14 plus $2 a pound to ship an overnight package. Discount Shipping Company charges $20 p
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

12 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the weight of the package.

For Lone Star Shipping, the cost will be:

2x + 14

For Discount Shipping Company, the cost will be:

1.5x + 20

We hence equate these two expressions equal to each other, since the cost should be same.

2x + 14 = 1.5x + 20 \\2x - 1.5x = 20 -14\\0.5x = 6\\x = 6 \div 0.5\\x = 12
