A Mathematics paper consists of 12 questions of which not more than ten are to be answered. Given that the number of candidates

who answer ten questions is equal to the number of candidates who answer nine questions only. Find the probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 if all the questions have the same chance of being selected.​

The probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 is 0.4179.

<h3>How to calculate probability?</h3>

The probability that a candidate chosen at random from among these two sets of candidates will have selected questions 1, 2 and 3 will ba calculated thus:

= [(9C6 /12C9) × 1/2] + [(9C7)/12C10) × 1/2]

= 42/220 + 18/66

= 0.1909 + 0.2727

= 0.4179

In conclusion, the probability is 0.4179.

Help please Draw an obtuse angle (labeled BIG) Place a point P inside the angle. Now construct perpendiculars form the point to
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.

___

The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.

How do I subtract decimals from whole numbers?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Just use long subtraction by expanding the decimal places of the whole number. This is done by adding a point, and enough zeros to it to match the number of decimal digits in the other number (digits after the decimal point).

12345678

i.e: 5 - 2.48374827, 2.48374827 has 8 decimal digits, so add 8 zeros after the point.

=

1 1 1 1 1 1 1

5.00000000

-

2.48374827

_______________

2.51625173

7 + 3 = <u>1</u>0, 7 + 2 + <u>1</u> = <u>1</u>0, 8 + 1 + <u>1</u>= <u>1</u>0, 5 + 4 + <u>1</u> = <u>1</u>0, 2 + 7 + <u>1</u> = <u>1</u>0, 3 + 6 + <u>1</u> = <u>1</u>0, 1 + 8 + <u>1</u> = <u>1</u>0, 5 + 4 + <u>1</u> = <u>1</u>0, 2 + 2 + <u>1</u> = <u>5</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u> </u>5.00000000

This is basically borrowing a group of 10s which are the same as 1s in the next decimal place up.

For each digit except the first to the right, let 10 subtract that number from it and minus 1 since the 1 is carried over.
