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

Create an equation with a solution closest to 0 using digits 1 to 9
steposvetlana [31]

Complete Questions:

<em>Create an equation with a solution closest to 0 using digits 1 to 9 </em>

<em>_x + _ = _x + _</em>

<em></em>

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

_x + _ = _x + _

Required

Fill in the gap using 1 to 9 to give a result close to 0

First, you have to determine what kind of numbers that are close to 0;

In this case, I'll work with -0.4 to 0.4 because the number in this range approximate to 0;

Next, is to fill in the gaps using trial by error method

5x + 2 = 2x + 3

Checking the above expression

<em>Collect Like Terms</em>

<em></em>5x - 2x = 3 - 2<em></em>

3x = 1

Divide equation by 2

x = 0.33 <em>(Approximated)</em>

Another trial is

6x + 8 = 2x + 7

Checking the above expression

<em>Collect Like Terms</em>

<em></em>6x - 2x = 7 - 8<em></em>

4x = -1

Divide equation by 4

x = -0.25 <em>(Approximated)</em>

<em>I'll stop here but note that, there are more expressions that can fill in the gaps</em>

What is the third quartile of this data set ? 14,18,20,21,25,32,40,44,48
kotykmax [81]

42

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Given data set - 14,18,20,21,25,32,40,44,48

We need to get the 3rd quartile

Step 2 :

To find the quartile's , we have to divide the data set into 4 equal quarters.

The 3rd cut will give the 3rd quartile

Step 3:

The median of this data set is at 25, there are 4 numbers below and above it.

Now we take the 2nd half of the set , after the median and take the median of it.

There are 4 numbers in the 2nd half 32,40,44,48. Cutting this into 2 , we have the cut to fall between 40 and 44. Hence taking the average of this will give the 3rd quartile.

The average of 40 and 44 is 42 .

Hence the 3rd quartile is 42.

Please solve for n and show your work.<br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="
k0ka [10]
\frac{1}{3} (n + 15) = -2

First, replace the numerator with the parentheses.
\frac{n+15}{3} =-2
Second, multiply both sides by 3.
n + 15 = -2 * 3
Third, multiply 2 × 3 to get 6.
n + 15 = -6
Fourth, take away 15 from each side.
n = -6 - 15
Fifth, simplify -6 - 15 to get -21.
n = -21

Answer: n = -21

1x3 is 3  

3 x 9 = 27

27/56  this fraction cant be reduced so if you count it or put it in a calculator you'll get 0.482143
