Jack was getting dressed in the dark and needed to get his socks. There were 18 pairs of socks in the drawer: 8 black pairs, 5 b

rown pairs, 3 blue pairs, and 2 white pairs. If he randomly picks 1 pair of socks from the drawer, what is the probability that he will pick a pair of blue socks?

We know that there are total 18 socks, and 3 blue pair
P(picking pairs of blue sock)=
3/18 or 1/6
As a result, the probability that he will pick a pair of blue socks is 1/6. Hope it help!

The probability of picking a blue pair would be 3/18 because there are 18 total pairs of socks and he doesn't put the socks back

Answer:

38.22% probability that of 10 randomly selected students, lessthan four will be between 900 and 1,100

Step-by-step explanation:

For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they score between 900 and 1,100, or they score outside this range. The probability of a student scoring between 900 and 1,100 is independent from other students. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

About 40 percent of these students’ scores were between 900 and 1,100.

This means that p = 0.4.

a)Based on this estimate, what is the probability that of 10 randomly selected students, lessthan four will be between 900 and 1,100?

This is P(X < 4) when n = 10. So

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{10,0}.(0.4)^{0}.(0.6)^{10} = 0.0060

P(X = 1) = C_{10,1}.(0.4)^{1}.(0.6)^{9} = 0.0403

P(X = 2) = C_{10,2}.(0.4)^{2}.(0.6)^{8} = 0.1209

P(X = 3) = C_{10,3}.(0.4)^{3}.(0.6)^{7} = 0.2150

P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0060 + 0.0403 + 0.1209 + 0.2150 = 0.3822

38.22% probability that of 10 randomly selected students, lessthan four will be between 900 and 1,100

Simplify the expression.
notsponge [240]
The answer is 2k^2 - 7k - 4 because 2k x k is 2k^2 and 2k x (-4) is -8k and 1 x k is k and 1 x (-4) is -4. So then you would get 2k^2 - 8k + k - 4 which simplifies to 2k^2 - 7k - 4 which is your answer.

Triangle CAT is equilateral and centered at the origin. How many degrees will it need to be rotated counterclockwise about the o
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

-120 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle has a rotational symmetry of 3  (it repeats its  orientation 3 times as it makes a complete circle around the center),  so the angle of rotation is 360 / 3 = 120 degrees.

As the rotation is counter clockwise  strictly speaking the answer is -120 degrees.
