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

She would save 54.45 because addding them up individually before the plan would cost 184.49 and to find the difference all you have to do is subtract 184.49-129.99 and that would tell you how much she saved

Which choice is equivalent to the quotient below shown here when x&gt;0?
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The given radical division can be expressed in the following form;

\frac{\sqrt{16x^{3} } }{\sqrt{8x} }

Using the properties of radical division, the expression can be expressed in the following form;

\sqrt{\frac{16x^{3} }{8x} }=\sqrt{2x^{2} }

Simplifying further yields;

\sqrt{2x^{2} }=\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{x^{2} }=x\sqrt{2}

Choice B is thus the correct alternative

A line passes through the points (−1, −2) and (−2, −6) .

To complete this equation, it is vital to know the slope. To find the slope using points, you subtract the first x from the second, and the first y from the second. This gives you a slope of 4. Then, you must follow point-slope form and choose one of the order pairs to use. You then write y then the negative of your number. Since the number is already negative, you turn it into a positive. On the other side of the "=" sign, you write your slope, 4 distributing to x. Then you write the negative of your x value. Since it is already negative, it turns into a positive. This gives you a final answer of y+1=4(x+2). I realize that this doesn't line up with your fill-in-the-blank answer, so I am sorry if it doesn't work.
