Prudence has 12 pairs of gold earrings and 12 pairs of silver earrings in a drawer in her jewelry box. If she randomly pulls six pairs of earrings out of the drawer to take with her on a trip, which of the following is the best prediction of the number of pairs of earrings that will be gold?a. 2 b. 8 c. 4 d. 3

(D) 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Prudence has 12 pairs of gold earrings and 12 pairs of silver earrings.

Total Number of Earrings =12+12=24

Relative Frequency of Picking a Gold Earrings =12/24= 0.5

If she randomly pulls six pairs of earrings out of the drawer to take with her on a trip

Number of Possible Outcome =Relative Frequency X Number of Trials

=0.5 X 6

=3

She would most likely take 3 gold earrings.

graph b

step-by-step explanation:

one solution- graph a (clear intercepting point.)

no solution- graph b (they're parallel, there will never be a point of interception.)

infinite solutions- graph c (all points intercept.)

answer: 12,000

step-by-step explanation: first you ar e supposed to add. then multiply then subtract
