Two balls are drawn in succession out of a box containing

1 answer:

4 0

There are a total of 8 balls

The probability of drawing a white ball is 4/8 on the first draw.
If you replace the ball then the probability will still be 4/8 for a white ball, since these events are independent of each other you multiply 4/8 x 4/8 = 16/64 or 1/4 then the probability of drawing at least 1 red ball with replacement is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4

Now without replacement:
the probability of drawing a white ball is 4/8 since you don't replace the ball then the probability of drawing a white ball the second time is 3/7 again multiply these two probabilities: 4/8 x 3/7 = 12/56 the the probability of drawing at least 1 red ball is 1- 12/56 = 44/56 or 11/14

Find the value of x in a triangle with one side 11 and 1 angle being 28

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

C: 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides x and 11 could be defined as the Adjacent angle and the Hypotenuse. This means that we will use the cos function to solve this.

First we can set up our equation

$cos28=\frac{11}{x}$
