Acertain ski shop sells pairs of gloves in 12 different colors. if one pair of each color is dropped in a bag and a store clerk reaches in to draw two individual gloves simultaneously and at random, what is the probability that she draws two gloves of the same color?

0.04348

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a certain ski shop sells pairs of gloves in 12 different colors. One pair of each color is dropped in a bag and a store clerk reaches in to draw two individual gloves simultaneously and at random

In the bag now there are 12 pairs of different colours

Total number of ways of drawing 2 gloves from 24 gloves = 24C2 =276

If same colour is to be drawn pairwise taken.

i.e. there are 12 ways.

Probability required =

75 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a Triangle = 1/2 × Base × Height

From the above question:

Base = 30 Inches

Height = 5 inches

Hence:

Area = 1/2 × 30 in × 5 in

Area = 75 square inches

Therefore, the area of one of the triangular pieces of wood that she needs to build the ramp is 75 square inches
