Twenty-four blue socks and twenty-four red socks are lying in a drawer in a dark room. What is the minimum number of socks you need to pull out of the drawer so that you are sure to have at least two blue socks

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

26 socks

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 48 socks here. Let us assume you pulled out 24 socks at a go and all are red. Now, you would have exhausted the number of red socks here. You would be left with only blue socks which you can pull one after the other to give a total of  26 socks pulled out to have 2 blue socks at least.

Which of the following represents the probability of 3 successes in 5 trials?a. 3C5P(S)*P(775
c. 3C5P(S)?P(A15
b. 5C3P(S)3P(F2
d. 5C3P(S)3P(F)5

Answers

Final answer:

The probability of 3 successes in 5 trials is represented by '5C3P(S)³P(F)²'. This equation reflects the combination of possible successful events, multiplied by the probability of success raised to the number of successes, and the probability of failure raised to the number of failures.

Explanation:

The correct answer is d. 5C3P(S)³P(F)².

Probability of success in binomial problems is given by the equation P(S) = nCr * (p)ⁿ * (q)ⁿ-r where n is the number of trials, r is the number of successful trials, p is the probability of success, and q is the probability of failure (1-p). In this case, there are 5 trials and 3 successes, so your p to the power of 3 (P(S)³) represents the probability of success and the your q to the power 2 (P(F)²) represents the probability of failure. The 5C3 in front is a combination which shows how many ways 3 successes can occur in 5 trials.

In 1906 Americans consumed an average of 26.85 gallons of whole milk per year. By 1998 the average consumption was 8.32 gallons. What is the percent decrease in consumption of whole milk?

Answers

Answer: 69.01%

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1906 Americans consumed an average of 26.85 gallons of milk per year while by 1998 the average consumption was 8.32 gallons.

To get the percent decrease in consumption of whole milk goes thus:

We first find the amount of decrease in the milk consumed. This will be:

= 26.85 - 8.32

= 18.53

Percentage decrease

= 18.53/26.85 × 100

= 0.6901 × 100

= 69.01%
