Answer:

(a) 7.69%

(b) 25%

(c) 2.78%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

In a deck of 52 cards there are 4 aces.

The odds in favor or the probability of selecting an ace is:

P(Ace) = \frac{Number\ of\ aces}{Number\ of\ cards\ in\ total}\\ =\frac{4}{52}\\ =0.076923\\\approx7.69\%

Thus, the probability of selecting an ace from a random deck of 562 cards is 7.69%.

(b)

The outcomes of each toss of a coin is independent of the other, since the result of the previous toss does not affect the result of the current toss.

The probability that both the tosses will end up in heads is:

P(2\ Heads)=P(1^{st}\ Head)\times P(2^{nd}\ Head)\\=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\\ =0.25\ or\ 25\%\\

Thus, the probability that both the tosses will end up in heads is 25%.

(c)

The sample space of two dice consists of 36 outcomes in total.

Out of these 36 outcomes there is only 1 Boxcar, i.e. two sixes.

The probability of a boxcar when two dice are rolled is:

P(Boxcar)=\frac{Favorable\ outcomes}{Total\ no.\ of\ outcomes}\\= \frac{1}{36}\\ =0.027777\\\approx2.78\%

Thus, the probability of a boxcar when two dice are rolled is 2.78%.

BRAINLIEST <br> Solve for X. Round to the nearest tenth.
Kryger [21]

Step-by-step explanation:

2 things to remember for problems like this :

the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.

the law of sines :

a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C) or upside-down (whatever fuss the situation better), with the sides being always opposite of the angles.

so, now for the given problems :

4.

x/sin(90) = 12/sin(29)

x/1 = x = 12/sin(29) = 24.75198408...

rounded x = 24.8

5.

the opposite angle of x is

180 - 90 - 16 = 74 degrees.

x/sin(74) = 37/sin(90) = 37

x = 37×sin(74) = 35.56668275...

rounded x = 35.6

6.

the opposite angle of x is

180 - 90 - 58 = 32 degrees.

x/sin(32) = 22/sin(58)

x = 22×sin(32)/sin(58) = 13.74712574...

rounded x = 13.7

7.

the opposite angle of 15 is

180 - 90 - 51 = 39 degrees.

x/sin(51) = 15/sin(39)

x = 15×sin(51)/sin(39) = 18.52345735...

rounded x = 18.5

Simplify the given expression below: 4 divided by the quantity of 3 minus 2i
svetoff [14.1K]
This is rationalising the denominator of an imaginary fraction. We want to remove all i's from the denominator.

To do this, we multiply the fraction by 1. However 1 can be expressed in an infinite number of ways. For example, 1 = 2/2 = 3/3 = 4n^2 / 4n^2 (assuming n is not zero!). Let's express 1 as the complex conjugate of the denominator, divided by the complex conjugate of the denominator.

The complex conjugate of (3 - 2i) is (3 + 2i). Then do what I just said:

4/(3-2i) * (3+2i)/(3+2i) = 4(3+2i)/(3-2i)(3+2i) = (12+8i)/(9-4i^2) = (12+8i)/(9+4) = (12+8i)/13

This is the answer you are looking for. I hope this helps :)
