Answer:

a) 0.1429

b) 0.2667

c) 0.3067

d) 0.3524

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue = 6

Gray = 7

Black = 2

Number of socks = 15

a) 2 blue socks.

The probability of getting two consecutive blue socks is:

P(Blue=2) = \frac{6}{15}*\frac{5}{14}=0.1429

b) no gray socks.

The probability of getting no grey socks with two picks is:

P(G=0) = \frac{15-7}{15} *\frac{14-7}{14}=0.2667

c) at least 1 black sock.

The probability of getting at least one black sock is:

P(B>0) = 1 - P(B=0)\\P(B>0) =1 - (\frac{13}{15}*\frac{12}{15})\\P(B>0) = 0.3067

d) matching socks.

The probability of getting matching socks is the sum of the probabilities of getting 2 black, 2 blue or 2 gray socks:

P(matching) = P(Blue=2)+P(Black=2)+P(G)\\P(matching) =\frac{6}{15}* \frac{5}{14} +\frac{2}{15}* \frac{1}{14}+\frac{7}{15}* \frac{6}{14} \\P(matching) = 0.3524

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

-7x + 6 = 27

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 6 on both sides:                        -7x = 21
  2. [Division Property of Equality] Divide -7 on both sides:                                 x = -3
