Put these in order starting with the smallest:
5 squared
2 to the power of 4
3 to the power of 3
1 to the power of 8

1 to the power of 8= 8

2 to the power of 4 =16

5 squared =25

3 to the power of 3 =27

Step-by-step explanation:

2 to the power of 4 =16

3 to the power of 3 =27

1 to the power of 8= 8

After selecting the 3 socks, there are 13 socks remaining. When one more sock is randomly picked, we have the following probabilities:
P(black) = 3/13.
P(white) = 5/13.
P(gray) = 3/13.
The three events, 'pick black', 'pick white' and 'pick gray' are mutually exclusive. Therefore the probability that he will have a complete pair is given by:

The answer is 11/13.
