Count total socks
- Black: 2 pairs = 4 socks
- Red: 3 pairs = 6 socks
- White: 4 pairs = 8 socks
- Gray: 1 pair = 2 socks
Total = 4 + 6 + 8 + 2 = 20 socks
Probability (first sock white)
Number of white socks = 8
P(first white) = 8/20 = 2/5
Probability (second sock black, given first was white)
After taking 1 white sock, remaining socks = 19
Number of black socks still = 4
P(second black | first white) = 4/19
Multiply probabilities
P(first white AND second black) = (8/20) × (4/19)
= 32/380
= 16/190
= 8/95
The probability is 8/95 (= 0.0842 or 8.4%).

Volume of one room = Length × Width × Height
Volume of one room = 14 ft × 11 ft × 8 ft
Volume of one room = 1232 ft³
Total volume of water flooding the area = Volume of one room × Number of rooms
Total volume of water flooding the area = 1232 ft³ × 3
Total volume of water flooding the area = 3696 ft³

Volume = Weight / Weight per cubic inch
Volume = 91 pounds / 0.28 pounds per cubic inch
Volume 325 cubic inches
Length = Volume / Cross-sectional area
Length = 325 cubic inches / 5 square inches
Length 65 inches

You have 5 dice from a board game. All 5 dice are 6 sided and fair. What is the probability that you can roll the dice just once and get all 5 dice to have the same number on top

Total possible outcomes:
Each die has 6 sides, so for 5 dice the total number of outcomes is:
6^5 = 7776
Favorable outcomes:
For all dice to show the same number:
- Choose 1 number out of 6 (e.g., all 1s, all 2s, etc.).
- There is only 1 way for all 5 dice to show that number once chosen.
So, favorable outcomes = 6
Probability:
P = 6 / 7776 = 1 / 1296
The probability is 1/1296 (about 0.00077 or 0.077%).

What is the probability that you flip a coin and get a heads up, draw a card from a standard poker deck and get an ace, and roll 2 dice and get a sum of either 7 or 11?
Weegy: For the coin, the probability is 50%. 5% chance for the card desk and the dice, 16% chance for the dice. (More)

Solution:
1. Flipping a coin and getting heads:
Assuming the coin is fair (unbiased), the probability of getting heads is 1/2.

2. Drawing an ace from a standard poker deck:
In a standard deck of 52 cards, there are 4 aces. So, the probability of drawing an ace is 4/52, which simplifies to 1/13.

3. Rolling 2 dice and getting a sum of either 7 or 11:
To get a sum of 7, there are 6 possible combinations of dice rolls: (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 4), (4, 3), (5, 2), and (6, 1). To get a sum of 11, there are 2 possible combinations: (5, 6) and (6, 5).

The total number of possible outcomes when rolling 2 dice is 6 * 6 = 36.

So, the probability of getting a sum of 7 is 6/36, which simplifies to 1/6.
The probability of getting a sum of 11 is 2/36, which simplifies to 1/18.

Now, let's calculate the overall probability by multiplying the individual probabilities:

Probability = Probability of heads * Probability of drawing an ace * Probability of getting a sum of 7 or 11
Probability = (1/2) * (1/13) * (1/6 + 1/18)
Probability = (1/2) * (1/13) * (4/18)
Probability = (1/2) * (1/13) * (2/9)
Probability = 1/117

So, the probability of flipping a coin and getting heads, drawing an ace from a standard poker deck, and rolling 2 dice and getting a sum of either 7 or 11 is 1/117 or approximately 0.0085 (rounded to four decimal places).

Victoria is moving an iron pyramid with an octagonal base. the pyramid is 18 inches high and it's base has an area of 13.5 square inches. If each cubic inch of iron weighs 0.28 pounds how much does the pyramid weigh
Weegy: You need first to calculate the volume of the pyramid. Do you have the formula ? User: it is one third times base times height Weegy: Ok so do you multiply the volume by the density and you get the weight of the pyramid ! that's it ! User: so what do you multiply by what Weegy: the density by the volume of the pyramid. Watch out for the units ! User: yes but I still don't know the answer Weegy: 2.21 pounds User: thank you Weegy: You're welcome [smile] (More)
