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

When machineminushours are used as an overhead costminusallocation base and annual leasing costs for equipment unexpectedly​ inc
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

D. unfavorable fixed overhead flexible minus budget variance

Step-by-step explanation:

As the cost of the equipment is increasing the fixed efficiency and idle capacity variance would be unfavorable resulting in an  unfavorable fixed overhead flexible minus budget variance.

The expenses of the machinery are the fixed indirect costs which result in fixed overhead variances. Since it is related to the working of the machinery it would result in efficiency and idle capacity variances that in turn would give unfavorable fixed overhead of the flexible minus budget variance.

If you have 12 customers in a lawn care business, what is the minimum number of times you need to mow per customer each month to
Trava [24]
I believe the answer would be D. Because, 10*12= 120 and 400/120= 3.33 
Since you are talking about money, you would round up. 

Meaning that the answer should be D.

What is volume measured in? what is volume meausred in
Tomtit [17]
It can be measured in many things. it can be in mL, which is specifically for volume,but it can also be in any kind on length, as long as that distance is cubed. an example is that 1 foot cannot be a volume of something but 1 ft^3 aka 1 ft cubed can.

Luke has 1/3 of a package of dried apricots. He divides the dried apricots equally into 3 small bags. Luke gives one of the bags
Nitella [24]
1/3 ÷ 3 = \frac{1}{9} for each

Luke will stay with a total of:

\frac{1}{9} (x 3) = \frac{3}{9}

\frac{3}{9} -  \frac{1}{9} =  \frac{2}{9}

Hope it helped!
