Probability = # of positive events / # of all possible events

As the event B restricts the number of consecutive cards that result in a positive outcome (only consecutive face cards), it means that the numerador of the formula to find the probability is smaller, while the denominator remains unchanged.

That means that the probabilty calculated for the event A is greater than the probability of the event B.

So, the answer is that the event A is more likely than event B.

What value of x satisfies

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trigonometric equation is $cos(90-x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}$ .

We take the inverse cosine of both sides to get:

$90-x=cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3})$

$90-x=125$

$x=125-90$

$x=-35\degree=325\degree$ to the nearest degree

None of the options satisfies the given equation.

But if the question is actually;

$cos(90-x)=-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}$

Then;

$90-x=\cos^{-1}(-\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2})$ .

$90-x=210$ .

$90-x=210$ .

$x=-120\degree$ .

Or

$x=360-120=240\degree$ .

In this case the answer will be B

A tourist standing on the New York City coast sees the Statue of Liberty, which is 305 feet tall. She must tilt her head 9 degre

mixer [17]

Given:

Height of the Statue of Liberty = 305 feet

Angle of elevation = 9 degrees

To find:

The between the tourist and the Statue of Liberty.

Solution:

Using the given information, draw a figure as shown below.

In a right triangle,

$\tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}$

In the triangle ABC,

$\tan 9^\circ=\dfrac{305}{x}$

$x=\dfrac{305}{\tan 9^\circ}$

$x=1925.6942$

$x\approx 1926$

Therefore, the tourist is standing 1926 feet from the Statue of Liberty.
