X + Y = 18
X=chickens, Y=Cows
2x + 4y = 60
Let's try 8 and 10.
16 + 40=56, no, 32+20=52, no. 8&10 do not work.
Let's try 9 and 9.
18+36=54, no. 9&9 do not work.
Let's try 11 & 7.
22+28=50, no. 14+44=58, no.
Let's try 12 & 6.
24+24=48, no. 12+48=60 YES!
There are 12 cows and 6 chickens.

A box contains 6 black socks and 4 red socks. What is the probability of picking two black socks from the bag without replacemen
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

9/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Our box contains 10 socks. (6, which are black and 4 which are red)

Probability of picking 1 black sock will be 6/10

Number of ways it can occur / Total number of outcomes.

In this question we pick two socks, one black firstly and another black, in the second turn. When we say AND, it means intersection

P (B₁ ∩ B₂) = 6/10 . 6/10

When the events are independent, the probability of the intersection will be the product of the probabilities,

P (B₁ ∩ B₂) = 36/100 = 9/25
