In your top dresser drawer are 6 blue socks and 10 grey socks, unpaired and mixed up. One dark morning you pull two socks from t
1 answer:
Answer:
D) 0.500
Step-by-step explanation:
Blue Socks = 6
Grey socks = 10
Probabilities to find :
Since there are a total of 16 socks, the probability of both socks being blue is
Probability(blue) =
The probability of both being grey is
Probability(grey) =
(Note: After 1 sock is picked , next sock drawn would have a different probability as 1 sock is already picked so it would be 1 minus the total socks available of that color)
The probability two socks match:
Probability(blue) + Probability(grey) = +
=
=
= 0.500

Answer:
I don't see how the three existing points could ever become a square with the addition of a foiurth point.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached image.
A square would require that all angles be 90 degrees. The given points are the top three points on the graph. If we enter the two equations that intersect these points (blue and black lines), we can see that the angle on top is not 90 degrees. I can't see that this could ever be a square with a fourth point, z. I did find a value for z that make the four points a parallelogram.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the equation, use the slope-intercept formula:
m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Now, it'll really help to draw a line through the points, connecting them. If you look at point (0,2), we can see that this is the y-intercept (where a point sits on the y-axis when x=0). You can insert this into the equation by taking the y value:
Now, take any two points to find the slope. To make it easier, I'll use (1,5) and (0,2). Use the slope formula for when you know two points:
Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:
Solve:
Since both are negative, the result is a positive:
Insert this into the equation as m, the slope:
Done.
