Answer:

Best case = 2 gloves

Given Information:

Red gloves = 5 pairs

Yellow gloves = 4 pairs

Green gloves = 2 pairs

smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair in the best case = ?

Explanation:

How many gloves do you need to make one matching pair?

2

Yes, you are right. 2 gloves makes a matching pair and it is the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair.

But what about worst case?

lets say

you tried all 5 red gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 4 yellow gloves either all of them were left or right

then you tried 2 green gloves either all of them were left or right

Now all the left or right gloves are tried (5 + 4 + 2 = 11) and the 12th one will definitely be either matching red, yellow or green.

Therefore, in the worst case scenario, the smallest number of gloves you need to select to have at least one matching pair is 12.

‏What is the potential energy in joules of a 12 kg ( mass ) at 25 m above a datum plane ?
Virty [35]

Answer:

E = 2940 J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass, m = 12 kg

Position at which the object is placed, h = 25 m

We need to find the potential energy of the mass. It is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E=12\times 9.8\times 25\\\\E=2940\ J

So, the potential energy of the mass is 2940 J.

A Tariff is an important source of income to countries

Three characteristics of a tariff are;

Proper return from the consumer should be factored in a tariff to account for the alternatives or normal expense pattern
