Answer:

a. the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b. the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c. the probability of either 2 navy socks is picked or one black  & one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

Step-by-step explanation:

A sock drawer contains 8 navy blue socks and 5 black socks with no other socks.

If you reach in the drawer and take two socks without looking and without replacement, what is the probability that:  

Solution:

total socks = N = 8 + 5 + 0 = 13

a) you will pick a navy sock and a black sock?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick the black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of picking a black sock again.

 P (B) = 5/12.

Then, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

b) the colors of the two socks will match?

Let A be the probability of picking a navy socks first.

Then P (A) = 8/13

without replacing the navy sock, will pick another navy sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let B be the probability of another navy sock again.

 P (B) = 7/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

Let D be the probability of picking a black socks first.

Then P (D) = 5/13

without replacing the black sock, will pick another black sock, total number of socks left is 12.

Let E be the probability of another black sock again.

 P (E) = 4/12.

Then, the probability of picking 2 black sock = P (D & E)

= (5/13 ) * (4/12) = 5/39 = 0.128

Now, the probability of picking two navy or two black is

= 56/156 + 20/156 = 76/156 = 0.487

c) at least one navy sock will be selected?

this means, is either you pick one navy sock and one black or two navy socks.

so, if you will pick a navy sock and a black sock, the probability of picking a navy sock and a black sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (5/12) = 40/156 = 0.256

also, if you will pick 2 navy sock, Then, the probability of picking 2 navy sock = P (A & B)

= (8/13 ) * (7/12) = 56/156 = 0.359

now either 2 navy socks is picked or one black  one navy socks.

= 40/156 + 56/156 = 96/156 = 0.615

Lorico [155]

Answer:

bool b = isupper(x);

Step-by-step explanation:

I have written the expression for a char variable x.The isupper(x) will return true if the character x is upper case and false if the character x is lower case.

I have stored the returned value to a bool variable b .So the value of variable b will be true only when the x is in uppercase and false when b is lower case.

The weather forecast says that the probability of being cloudy tomorrow is 30% and the probability of raining is 25%. If it is c
Bumek [7]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

\large\boxed{C).\,13.5\%}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

In this question, we're trying to find the probability of it being cloudy and raining.

In this case, we know that:

  • Probability of it being cloudy is 30%
  • Probability of it raining is 25% (this is necessarily not needed)
  • If it's cloud, the probability of it raining is 45%

With the information above, we can find the probability.

We know that from a 100% scale, the chance of it being cloudy is 30%.

We know that if it's cloudy, the chances of raining is 45%

To find the probability of it being cloudy and raining, we would multiply 0.3 (30%) by 0.45 (45%)

Solve:

0.3*0.45=0.135\\\\\text{Move the decimal place two times to the right}\\\text{to turn it into a percent}\\\\\boxed{13.5\%}

Your answer would be C). 13.5%

<h3>I hope this helped you out.</h3><h3>Good luck on your academics.</h3><h3>Have a fantastic day!</h3>
