Answer:

0.5021 or about 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

chance of getting heads is 1 out of 2 =1/2

chance of getting 1or 6 is 2 out of 6 = 2/6

1/2 * 2/6= 2/12 reduced to   1/6

each turn you have a 1 0ut of 6 chance of winning

16% chance of winning so an 84% chance of losing

chance of losing  4 times is .84 ^4  =0.4979

chance of winning  is 1-(.84^4)= 0.5021

in a circle a 60 sector has an area of 25 pi square feet. what is the circumference? leave your answer in terms of pi and in sim
belka [17]
The area of the sector is given by the equation,
                           A = πr²(x / 360°)
where x is the number of degrees in the figure. 
                           25π ft² = (πr²)(60/360)
The value of  r is 12.25 ft. Then, we use this value to calculate for the circumference of the sector. 
                           C = 2πr(x/360)
Substituting,
                              C = 2π(12.45)(60/360)
                                   C = 12.83 ft³

Given the Arithmetic series A 1 + A 2 + A 3 + A 4 A1+A2+A3+A4 14 + 18 + 22 + 26 + . . . + 86 What is the value of sum?
postnew [5]

Answer:

950

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is 4, so the general term can be written:

... an = 14 + 4(n -1)

The value of n for the last term is ...

... 86 = 14 + 4(n -1) . . . . . the computation for the last term, 86

... 72 = 4(n -1) . . . . . . . . . subtract 14

... 18 = n -1 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

... 19 = n . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 1

Your series has 19 terms. The first term is 14 and the last is 86, so the average term is (14+86)/2 = 50. Since there are 19 terms, the sum of them is ...

... 19×50 = 950

It is given that a+b=6 and ab=7. Find the value of a^2 + b^2.
n200080 [17]
Use the identity:-

a^2 + b^2  = (a + b)^2 - 2ab

Plugging in the given values;-

a^2 + b^2 = 6^2 - 2*7    =  36-14  = 22 Answer
