{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Given :}}}}}}

‣ A coin is tossed three times.

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}

‣ The probability of getting,

1) Exactly 3 tails

2) At most 2 heads

3) At least 2 tails

4) Exactly 2 heads

5) Exactly 3 heads

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Using \: Formula :}}}}}}

\star \: \tt  P(E)= {\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{  \dfrac{ Favourable \:  outcomes }{Total \:  outcomes}  }}}}}

{\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}

★ When three coins are tossed,

then the sample space = {HHH, HHT, THH, TTH, HTH, HTT, THT, TTT}

[here H denotes head and T denotes tail]

⇒Total number of outcomes \tt [ \: n(s) \: ] = 8

<u>1) Exactly 3 tails </u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHH} = 1

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly  \: 3 \:  tails)}  =  \red{ \dfrac{1}{8}}

<u>2) At most 2 heads</u>

[It means there can be two or one or no heads]

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHT, THH, HTH, TTH, HTT, THT, TTT} = 7

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(at \: most  \: 2 \:  heads)}  =  \green{ \dfrac{7}{8}}

<u>3) At least 2 tails </u>

[It means there can be two or more tails]

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {TTH, TTT, HTT, THT} = 4

• Total outcomes = 8

\longrightarrow   \sf Probability_{(at \: least \: 2 \:  tails)}  =  \dfrac{4}{8}

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(at \: least \: 2 \:  tails)}  =   \orange{\dfrac{1}{2}}

<u>4) Exactly 2 heads </u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HTH, THH, HHT } = 3

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly \: 2 \:  heads)}  =  \pink{ \dfrac{3}{8}}

<u>5) Exactly 3 heads</u>

Here

• Favourable outcomes = {HHH} = 1

• Total outcomes = 8

\therefore  \sf Probability_{(exactly \: 3 \:  heads)}  =  \purple{ \dfrac{1}{8}}

This shape is made using three semicircles The smaller semicircle have diameters of 10cm Calculate the shaded area Take 3.142 an
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The shaded area is 314.2 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we note that the shape consists of two small circles and one larger circle

The diameter of the larger semicircle is subtended by the two smaller semicircles, the small semicircle closer to the left of the internal circumference of the larger semicircle is shaded one while the one on the right is without color,

Therefore,

Diameter of larger semicircle = 2 × 10 = 20 cm

Based on the diagram, the shaded area is observed to be;

Shaded area = Area of semicircle formed by larger diameter or 20 cm + Area area formed by the small semicircle close to the right of the internal circumference of the larger semicircle - Area area formed by the other smaller semicircle

Since the diameter and therefore the areas of the two small semicircles are equal, we have;

Shaded area = Area formed by the complete larger semicircle = Area of semicircle formed by larger diameter or 20 cm

∴ Shaded area = π·D²/4 = π×20²/4 = 100×3.142 cm² = 314.2 cm².

Find the exact value of sin2 theta given sin theta =5/13, 90°&lt;theta &lt;180°
Zepler [3.9K]
Now, we know that 90°< θ <180°, that simply means the angle θ is in the II quadrant, where sine is positive and cosine is negative.

\bf sin(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{5}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}\impliedby \textit{now let's find the \underline{adjacent side}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \pm\sqrt{c^2-b^2}=a\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;\end{cases}

\bf \pm\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=a\implies \pm\sqrt{144}=a\implies \pm 12 =a \implies \stackrel{II~quadrant}{-12=a}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;therefore \qquad cos(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{adjacent}{-12}}{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}}&#10;\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;sin(2\theta )\implies 2sin(\theta )cos(\theta )\implies 2\left(\frac{5}{13}  \right)\left( \frac{-12}{13} \right)\implies -\cfrac{120}{169}
