Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

What is required is the probability of selecting one orange and one black kitten.

outcomes ( 1 O and 1B) = 4C1 * 5C1

Total outcomes = 9C2

Note: the order of color does not matter it is simply a matter of selection hence only combinations are made NOT permutations.

P (1O and 1B) = outcomes ( 1 O and 1B) / Total outcomes

P (1O and 1B) = (4C1 * 5C4) / 9C2 = 0.5556

If x is an integer, then is -x positive?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

If x is an integer, then for values of x ≤ 0 would -x be positive.

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Math</u>

  • Integers

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that integers comprise of the number line from -∞ to ∞. We can have numbers like -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 ,3.

If we say that x is an integer, and that -x must be positive, then that means the integer x must be negative, because a negative times a negative is a positive.

∴ x can only be negative integers, thus giving us x ≤ 0.

You have a drawer with five pairs of white socks, three pairs of black socks, and one pair of red socks. You choose one pair of
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

20.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the final probability, two separate events must be done and the final propagation is the multiplication of these, like this:

First event:

Probability of black socks on Monday:

Total pair of socks: 1 + 3 + 5 = 9

Number of black socks on Monday: 3

Thus:

3/9 = 1/3

Second event:

Probability of white socks on Tuesday:

Total pair of socks: 8

Number of white socks on Tuesday: 5

Thus:

5/8

Final probability:

1/3 * 5/8 = 5/24

P = 0.208

So the probability would be 20.8%

What is 30% of 250 = <br>Compute with percents
Crazy boy [7]
30% of 250 can be written as 0.3 * 250:

0.3(250) = 75

30% of 250 is 75.  Is this what you mean by "compute with percents?"
