Answer:

The probability that he picked 2 purpled socks is <u>0.33</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of purple socks, n(P) = 6

Number of orange socks, n(O) = 4

Two socks are picked without replacement.

Now, total number of socks, n(T)=N(P)+n(O)=6+4=10

Probability of picking the first cap as purple cap is given as:

P(P1)=\frac{n(P)}{n(T)}\\\\P(P1)=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{3}{5}

Since there is no replacement, the number of socks decreases by 1. Also, if the first sock picked is purple, then number of purple socks is also decreased by 1.

Therefore, probability of picking the second cap as purple cap is given as:

P(P2)=\frac{n(P)-1}{n(T)-1}\\\\P(P2)=\frac{5}{9}

Now, probability that both the picked caps are purple is given by their probability product. This gives,

P(P1\ and\ P2)=P(P1)\times P(P2)\\\\P(P1\ and\ P2)=\frac{3}{5}\times\frac{5}{9}\\\\P(P1\ and\ P2)=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}=0.33

Therefore, the probability that he picked 2 purpled socks is 0.33

Can someone help me pelase?? 20
Reil [10]

Answer:

y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the coordinates for x = 0 is (0,-2) so that's your y- intercept.

Then if you all you have to do is make sure that you have the correct slope.

So i just made a table on paper and started going up and seeing what slope i'd need to match the table on the screen.

2(0)-2=-2\\2(1)-2=0\\2(2)-2=2\\2(3)-2=4

Angel jogged around the park in 1 1/4 hr chris jogged same distance in 5/6 hrs how much longer did angel take then chris in hr??
QveST [7]
You will have to get the difference and get a common denominator but first combine the mixed number:
1 \:  \frac{1}{4}  -   \frac{5}{6}   =  \frac{5}{4}   -   \frac{5}{6} =  \frac{15}{12}   -   \frac{10}{12}
Then subtract the numbers
\frac{15}{12}  -  \frac{10}{12}  =  \frac{5}{12}
Angel took 5/12 hours longer than Chris
