Using the pythagorean identity, we can find the value of sin(A)

cos^2(A) + sin^2(A) = 1
(12/13)^2 + sin^2(A) = 1
144/169 + sin^2(A) = 1
sin^2(A) = 1 - 144/169
sin^2(A) = 169/169 - 144/169
sin^2(A) = (169 - 144)/169
sin^2(A) = 25/169
sin(A) = sqrt(25/169)
sin(A) = 5/13

Which is then used to find tan(A)

tan(A) = sin(A)/cos(A)
tan(A) = (5/13) divided by (12/13)
tan(A) = (5/13)*(13/12)
tan(A) = (5*13)/(13*12)
tan(A) = 5/12

The final answer is 5/12

Consider randomly selecting a student at a large university. Let A be the event that the selected student has a Visa card, let B
wariber [46]

Answer:

a. 0.76

b. 0.23

c. 0.5

d. p(B/A) is the probability that given that a student has a visa card, they also have a master card

p(A/B) is the probability that given a student has a master card, they also have a visa card

e. 0.35

f. 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

a. p(AUBUC)= P(A)+P(B)+P(C)-P(AnB)-P(AnC)-P(BnC)+P(AnBnC)

                    =0.6+0.4+0.2-0.3-0.11-0.1+0.07= 0.76

b. P(AnBnC')= P(AnB)-P(AnBnC)

                    =0.3-0.07= 0.23

c. P(B/A)= P(AnB)/P(A)

             =0.3/O.6= 0.5

e. P((AnB)/C))= P((AnB)nC)/P(C)

                     =P(AnBnC)/P(C)

                     =0.07/0.2= 0.35

f. P((AUB)/C)= P((AUB)nC)/P(C)

                    =(P(AnC) U P(BnC))/P(C)

                     =(0.11+0.1)/0.2

                     =0.21/0.2 = 0.31

I might not understand this correctly because of the misspellings, but if you draw a right angle. There is only 1 right angle... in a right angle.

Why would |3-6| be 3 instead of -3?
Delicious77 [7]
Because you can have a negative inside the absolute value so even if it is inside the absolute value of -3 will come out as 3.
