The odds against selecting a history are 31/16.

<h3>Define probability.</h3>

Probability is the concept that describes the likelihood of an event occurring. In many situations, it is necessary to foresee how something will turn out in the actual world. We may be aware of the result of an event or not. When this occurs, we state that there is a possibility that the event will occur.

Probability is the ratio of the most likely outcomes to all other possible outcomes of an event. The number of successful outcomes for an experiment with 'n' outcomes may be expressed using the symbol x. The following formula can be used to determine the likelihood of an event.

Probability(Event) = favorable outcome/Total outcome = x/n

Number of playwrights = 47

Number of histories = 16

Therefore, the odds against selecting a history are

(47 - 16) / 16

= 31/16

A car has a windshield wiper on the driver's side that has total arm length of 10 inches. It rotates
son4ous [18]

Answer:

75.44 Square Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the problem is produced and attached.

To determine the area of the cleaned sector:

Let the radius of the larger sector be R

Let the radius of the smaller sector be r

Area of the larger sector =\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi R^2

Area of the smaller sector =\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi r^2

Area of shaded part =Area of the larger sector-Area of the smaller sector

=\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi R^2-\frac{\theta}{360}X\pi r^2\\=\frac{\theta \pi}{360}X (R^2- r^2)

From the diagram, R=10 Inch, r=10-7=3 Inch, \theta=95^\circ

Therefore, Area of the sector cleaned

=\frac{95 \pi}{360}X (10^2- 3^2)\\=75.44$ Square Inches

Answer:

x^0 y^-3 / x^2 y^-1  

= 1 /  x^2 y^-1 (y^3)  ...because  x^0 = 1 and  [(y^-1) (y^3)] = y^2

= 1/(x^2 y^2)
