Sigmund picked a pair of socks out of his drawer without looking in the drawer. Sigmund has 3 pairs of black dress socks, 4 pairs of brown dress socks, 3 pairs of black sport socks, and 5 pairs of white sport socks. What is the probability that Sigmund will select a pair of black socks or a pair of sport socks?

There are 8 girls and 12 boys in Miss Reading's homeroom. Five of the girls play sports and 3 do not play sports. Eight of the boys play sports and 4 do not play sports. If a student is selected at random, what is the probability that the student is a boy or plays sports? Express your answer as a fraction.

Jason asks each member of his class what type of phone they have. The class consists of 12 women and 8 men. 5 of the women said they had android-based phones and 4 of the men said they had android-based phones. What is the probability of randomly picking a student in the class that is a man or that does not own an android-based phone?

Many genetic traits are controlled by two genes, one dominant and one recessive. In Gregor Mendel’s original experiments with peas, the genes controlling the height of the plant are denoted by T (tall) and t (short). The gene T is dominant, so a plant with the genotype (genetic makeup) TT or Tt is tall, whereas one with genotype tt is short. By a statistical analysis of the offspring in his experiments, Mendel concluded that offspring inherit one gene from each parent, and each possible combination of the two genes is equally likely. If each parent has the genotype Tt, then the following chart gives the possible genotypes of the offspring:

(Table not Copy)

Find the probability that a given offspring of these parents will be (a) tall or (b) short.

A mixture of 7 pounds of fertilizer A, 21 pounds of fertilizer B, and 8 pounds of fertilizer C provides the optimal nutrients for a plant. Commercial brand X contains equal parts of fertilizer B and fertilizer C. Commercial brand Y contains one part of fertilizer A and two parts of fertilizer B. Commercial brand z contains two parts of fertilizer A, five parts of fertilizer B, and two parts of fertilizer C. How much of each fertilizer brand is needed to obtain the desired mixture?

Chemistry 101

Some reactions are inhibited by the presence of another chemical. Oxidation reactions, for instance, are often inhibited by the presence of citric acid, hence why it is an ingredient in many packaged foods. It increases the shelf life significantly. If you carried out a trial of an oxidation reaction in which citric acid was present and one without it was present: i) Could you determine the effect, if any, that citric acid has on the activation energy of the oxidation reaction? ii) What additional information, if any, would you require to make the determination in the above question? iii) Would you expect the activation energy of the oxidation reaction to be higher, lower, or the same with citric acid present? Please explain.

Chemistry 102

In the reaction below
NH3(aq) + H2O(l) <==> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)

NH3 acts as a base and OH- as an acid.

NH3 acts as an acid and OH- as a base.

H2O acts as an acid and NH3 as a base

H2O acts as a base and NH4+ as an acid.

H2O acts as an acid and NH4+ as a base.
