12. A drawer contains 2 red socks, 6 white socks,
1 answer:
Answer:
Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of red socks = 2
Number of white socks = 6
Number of blue socks = 4
Total socks in drawer = 2+6+4 = 12
The formula used to calculate probability is:
We are given you draw out a sock, return it, and draw out a second sock.
We need to find the probability that the first sock is blue and the second sock is red?
Using formula:
Probability that first sock is blue = 4/12 = 1/3 = 0.33
Probability that second sock is red = 2/12 = 1/6 = 0.16
So, Probability that first sock is blue is 0.33 and Probability that second sock is red is 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:
If you're looking for what the half angle of the tangent of theta is, I'm a bit confused as to why you think the angle in the 4th quadrant, x, is relevant. But maybe you don't know it isn't and it's a "trick" to throw you off. Hmm...
Anyways, the half angle identity for tangent is
There are actually 3 identities for the tangent of a half angle, but this one works just as well as either of the others do, so I'm going with this one.
If theta is in QIII, the value of -4 goes along the x axis and the hypotenuse is 5. That makes the missing side, by Pythagorean's Theorem, -3. Filling in our formula:
which simplifies a bit to
and a bit more to
Bring up the lower fraction and flip it to divide to get
which of course simplifies to
-3. Choice A.
