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

Mike traveled to Greensboro by car. Going there took 6 hours, and the return trip was four hours. Mike averaged a speed of 81 mi
Marat540 [252]

Answer: 64.8 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Arriving time is 6 hours

return time is 4 hours

The average speed of returning 81 mph

Distance traveled while returning

\Rightarrow d=81\times 4=324\ miles

the average speed of the entire trip is

\Rightarrow v_{avg}=\dfrac{2\times 324}{6+4}=\dfrac{648}{10}=64.8\ mph

A store owner paid $15 dollars for a book. she marked up the price of the book by 40% to determine it's selling price.
Tcecarenko [31]
A) $15 ÷ 40% =
15×.4= 6
15+6= 21

B) $38 × .25=9.5
38-9.5=28.50

28.50×.06=1.71
28.50+1.17=30.21

I think this is how you do it. would wait for other answers as well to double check.
