Answer:

a)S= (1,2,3,4,5,6)

b) 1/6 or 16.67%

c) 1/3 or 33.33%

d) 5/6 or 83.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Sample space is the list of all the possible sample in this its either tool 1,2,3,4,5 or 6

b) probability of selecting from tool 1 is equally likely to picking from any cutting tool therefore it

1/6 or 16.7%

c) probability of selecting from any tool is 16.7% so probability of selecting from 3 or 5 = 16.67% + 16.67% = 33.3%

d) if the part is not from tool 4 then its from tool 1, or tool 2 or tool 3 or tool 5 or tool 6 therefore its

1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6+1/6 = 5/6 or 8.33%

Suppose you have 6 pairs of socks in your sock drawer. It is still dark out in the morning when you get dressed, so you just pul

Answer:

8/33 = 0.242

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 12 socks to begin with and one is taken;

The second is picked from the remaining 11 and will either match the first or not;

The probability of matching is 1/11 and 10/11 for not matching;

If the sock matches, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 3rd sock is taken;

The 3rd sock is taken from the remaining 10, 1 of which will match with the first sock and another which will match the second;

Therefore, the probability of taking a matching sock on the third pick will by 2/10 or 1/5 and the probability it will not match either of the first two is 8/10 or 4/5;

Once again, if the sock matches either of those previously taken, no further sock is taken;

If the socks don't match, a 4th sock is taken;

Now, there are 9 socks remaining in the drawer;

Picking is repeated;

The process is logical;

The attached picture shows a tree diagram representing this information in an easily digestible way and makes it easy to work out the desired probability;

With tree, diagrams, you just multiply across until you get to your desired outcome;

In this case, we are finding the probability of picking 5 socks exactly;

Each process splitting represents the picking of a sock;

The probability will be:

10/11 × 8/10 × 6/9 × 4/8 = 8/33 = 0.242...
