The probability of reaching into a drawer without looking and selecting a striped sock is 5/6
. If
there are a total of 24 socks in the drawer, how many socks in the drawer are striped?

29..26

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a total of 20 striped socks in the drawer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of stripes we must take the total amount of socks, and divide it by the denominator of the probability fraction. Then, we must multiply it by the numerator.

The equation for this is;

(24/6)5

Through the formula of PEMDAS, we must divide the 24 by 6 in the parenthesis first.

24/6 = 4

Now the equation should be simplified down to this;

(4)5

At last, 4 x 5 = 20.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
