Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$XLIV = 64$

Required

True or False

The above numeral can be split as follows:

$XLIV = XL + IV$

X means 10 and L means 50.

But because X (10) which is smaller comes before L (50), XL is executed as:

$XL = -10 + 50$

$XL = 40$

In Roman numerals;

$IV = 4$

Substitute 40 for XL and 4 for IV.

$XLIV = 40 + 4$

$XLIV = 44$

Hence;

<em /> $XLIV = 64$ <em> is false</em>

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

Debora [2.8K]

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...
