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%.

Answer:

tetrahedral

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) the shape of a molecule is dependent on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.

The predicted electron pair geometry may sometimes differ from the molecular geometry due to the presence of lone pairs and multiple bonds.

If we consider each nitrogen atom in N2 independently, we will notice that each nitrogen atom has four regions of electron density. Hence the electron pair geometry is tetrahedral.
