Answer:
cosA = √(21/25)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know
sin²(A) + cos²(A) = 1
Next, we know that sin(A) = 2/5. Plugging that into our equation, we get
(2/5)² + cos²A = 1
4/25 + cos²A = 1
subtract 4/25 from both sides to isolate cos²A
cos²A = 1 - 4/25 = 25/25-4/25 = 21/25
square root both sides to get
cosA = √(21/25)
We do not include -√(21/25) in our possible answer for cosA because this is in quadrant 1, so cosA must be positive.
Add it up then you will get answer
There are 8 possible outcomes for a marble being drawn and numbered.
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
There are 4 possible outcomes for a card being selected from a standard deck.
{ <span>hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades}
So the number of outcomes in the sample space would be 8 x 4 = 32.
In the event "an even number is drawn", there are only 4 possible outcomes for a marble being drawn, {2,4,6,8}, whereas there are still 4 possible outcomes for a suit. So the number of outcomes in the event is 4 x 4 = 16.
</span><span>In the event "a number more than 2 is drawn and a red card is drawn", there are 6 possible outcomes for the marble being drawn, {3,4,5,6,7,8}, whereas there are only two possible suits for a card being selected as red, {heart, diamond}. So the number of outcomes in this event is 6 x 2 = 12.
In the event </span><span>"a number less than 3 is drawn or a club is not drawn", the number drawn could be 1 or 2 whereas a spade/heart/diamond could be selected. So the number of outcomes is 2 x 3 = 6.</span><span>
