<span>The likelihood of both selected students being sophomores is 6/20, which simplifies to 3/10.
The expression for the probability that both chosen students are sophomores is (6c1) (5c1) /(20c2)

Answer: \frac{6_C_2}{20_C_2}

Detailed explanation:

The total number of sophomores is 6.

There are 14 freshmen.

This gives a total number of individuals as 6 + 14 = 20.

Therefore, if two individuals are selected, the probability that both of them are sophomores is:

P = Total combinations of 2 individuals from the group of 6 sophomores / total individuals

P = \frac{6_C_2}{20_C_2}, which is the expression needed.

Note: we can calculate the value of P further as follows,

⇒P= \frac{6!/4!2!}{20!/18!2!}

⇒P=\frac{30/2}{10\times 19}

⇒P=\frac{15}{190}

A mercury thermometer records a temperature of 8 degrees Fahrenheit at 10:00am.If the Temperature drops by 3 degrees Fahrenheit
Svet_ta [4321]

Given:

The temperature recorded at 10:00 am is 8 degrees Fahrenheit.

The temperature decreases by 3 degrees Fahrenheit each hour.

To find:

The temperature at 2:00 pm on the same day.

Solution:

Let y represent the temperature after x hours since 10:00 am.

The temperature at 10:00 am serves as the initial temperature.

Thus, the y-intercept of the linear equation is 8.

The temperature reduces by 3 degrees Fahrenheit every hour.

This indicates the slope of the linear equation is -3, with the negative sign indicating a decrease.

The slope-intercept form of a linear function is indicated by

y=mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Inserting m=-3 and y=8 into the above equation gives us the required values.

y=-3x+8

From 10:00 am to 2:00 pm spans 4 hours; therefore, substitute x=4 into the above equation.

y=-3(4)+8

y=-12+8

y=-4

Consequently, the temperature at 2:00 pm is -4 degrees Fahrenheit.

Add 0.0025 kg, 1750 mg, 2.25 g, and 825,000 μg, and express the answer in grams.
lawyer [4008]

Answer:

6.75g

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial step is to convert all values to grams using rules of three, followed by summation.

In a rule of three calculation, the first step is identifying the measures and how they interrelate; whether their connection is direct or inverse.

In direct relationships, as one measure increases, so does the other.

In inverse relationships, as one measure increases, the other decreases.

Problems involving unit conversion, like this, illustrate a direct relationship between measures.

First step: convert 0.0025kg to grams

One kilogram equals 1000 grams, so:

1kg - 1000g

0.0025kg - xg

x = 1000*0.0025 = 2.5g

Thus, 0.0025kg is equal to 2.5g

Second step: handle 1750 mg

One gram consists of 1000mg, so:

1g - 1000mg

xg - 1750mg

1000x = 1750

x = \frac{1750}{1000}

x = 1.75g

Therefore, 1750 mg converts to 1.75g

2.25g is fine

Third step: convert 825,000 μg to grams

One gram consists of 1,000,000 micrograms, so:

1g - 1,000,000 μg

xg - 825,000 μg

1,000,000x = 825,000

x = \frac{825,000}{1,000,000}

x = 0.25g

So, 825,000 μg equals 0.25g

Final step: sum all values

0.25g + 2.25g + 1.75g + 2.50g = 6.75g

A laundry basket contains 18 blue socks and 24 black socks. What is the probability of randomly picking 2 black socks, without r
Svet_ta [4321]
<span>P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacement): 23/41. Consequently, the chance of randomly selecting 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861, equivalent to 32%. Hope this helps!</span>
