(10) Typically, 10% of students make a D on their tests, 60% make a C on their tests, and 30% make an A. Mrs. Smith uses a random-number table to find the experimental probability that of 5 students, at least 3 will make a C. The digit 0 represents students who make a D. The digits 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 represent students who make a C. The digits 7, 8, and 9 represent students who make an A. Find the experimental probability that of 5 students, at least 3 will make a C.

I REAL answer is 1/6
You CAN check
That would be 1/4
Yes, the answer is 1/6.
To find the probability of picking a yellow pair of socks, you can use the fact that the sum of the probabilities of all possible outcomes is 1.
Since the only colors of socks in the drawer are white, black, and yellow, the probability of picking a white pair, a black pair, or a yellow pair of socks must be 1.
Let's let the probability of picking a yellow pair be y, then we have:
4/9 (probability of picking a white pair) + 7/18 (probability of picking a black pair) + y = 1
Simplifying, we get:
8/18 + 7/18 + y = 1
15/18 + y = 1
y = 1 - 15/18
y = 3/18
y = 1/6
So the probability of picking a yellow pair of socks is 1/6.
:o
Thx so much! Can you pls help me with the REST of the test?? Do you have the answers?
4/9 = 8/18
8/18 + 7/18 = 15/18
If 15/18 = probability of other colors, what remains for yellow?
wow you answered the question the same day!!! :o Hey can you help me with something??
