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

If triangle RST is within Quadrant 4 and cos R= √3/2, what is the value of cotR
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

CotR = -√3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 4th quadrant, sin is negative;

Since Cos R = √3/2,

Adjacent = √3

Hypotenuse = 2

Get the opposite;

opp^2 = 2^2 -(√3)^2

opp^2 = 4 - 3

opp^2 = 1

Opp = 1

Get sinR

Sin R = opp/hyp

SinR=  -1/2

CotR = cosR/sinR

CostR = (√3/2)/(-1/2)

CotR = √3/2* -2/1

CotR = -√3

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

1.7 x 10^-27

Step-by-step explanation

Move the decimal to the right until it's a single digit number, because you are moving it to the right, it would be a negative number. If you are able to round up then please do. Remember to check your significant figures if you're in chemistry.
