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

What is the value of x?
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

x=\frac{160-51}{2} =54.5°

Step-by-step explanation:

"Theorem 9-13: The measure of an angle formed by two secants, two tangents, or a secant and a tangent drawn from a point outside the circle is equal to half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs."

Basically no matter what other circle, secant or tangent you get, you just use the formula Outer\angle=\frac{far.point - near.point}{2}

If you need the outer angle, just put the other angles in and solve

If you need the far or near point angle, re-arrange the formula to get that value.

Celine ate brunch at a restaurant. The bill came to $72.80. If she left a 15% tip, what was the total cost of her brunch?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

<em>$83.69</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following

Initial Cost of the brunch = $72.80

Percentage tip = 15%

Tip paid = 15% of $72.60

Tip paid = 0.15 * 72.60

Tip paid = $10.89

Total cost of brunch =  $72.80 + $10.89

Total cost of brunch = $83.69

<em>Hence the total cost of her brunch is $83.69</em>
