Answer:

0.2103

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Distribution is uniform (as it is along a straight line), so we can consider the probabilities as direct areas.

It can represented by a square having an area of 36^{2}.

Area of whole stick = Length x Breadth = 36 x 36 =1296 cm^{2}

This area is equal to probability of 1.

Now when two points are randomly selected, they can be represented as :

X_{1} and X_{2}

After breaking from two points, there will be three pieces of stick

1 piece Least length = 6.5 cm

3 piece length = 6.5 x 3 = 19.5 cm

Area of pieces with at least 6.5cm length = (Length .of. whole .stick- length .of. 3. pieces)^{2} = (36 - 19.5)^{2} = (16.5 cm)^{2} = 272.25 cm^{2}

Probability of resulting pieces having at least 6.5 length = P (6.5 length) = \frac{(Area -of -pieces -with-6.5 -length)}{Area-of-stick}

P (6.5 length) = \frac{272.5}{1296} = 0.2103

which is the probability that all of the resulting pieces have length at least 6.5 cm.

Given cos theta = √3/4 and sin theta < 0. What is the value of sin theta? ​
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

\sqrt{ \frac{13}{16} }

Step-by-step explanation:

cos \: theta =   \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{4} \\ sin \: theta =  \sqrt{1 -  {cos}^{2} theta}  \\  =   \sqrt{1 - {( \frac{ \sqrt{3} }{4} ) }^{2}}  \\  =  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{3}{16}} \\  =  \sqrt{ \frac{13}{16} }

The rule is "Multiply by 8." Which statement is true? Number of Packages 3 5 6 8 Number of Juice Boxes 24 40 48 ? A. The number
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The statement (C) the number of juice boxes must be an even number is correct.

<h3>What is a sequence?</h3>

It is defined as the systematic way of representing the data that follows a certain rule of arithmetic.

We have a rule is “Multiply by 8"

Number of Packages:         3    5   6    8

Number of Juice Boxes:     24  40  48

The statements are:

  • A. The number of juice boxes will always be greater than 24.
  • B. The number of packages will always be greater than the number of juice boxes.
  • C. The number of juice boxes must be an even number.
  • D. The number of juice boxes will always be 21 more than the number of packages.

Number of package starts from 3

Applying the rule: "Multiply by 8.

Number of Juice Boxes = 3×8 = 24

The statement should be the number of juice boxes will always be greater than and equal to 24.

When we multiply even with odd we get an even number.

8 is an even number.

Thus, the statement (C) the number of juice boxes must be an even number is correct.

When multiply 2 numbers raised to a power,

Just all the  two exponents

4 +7 = 11

So 5^4 x 5^7 would become D. 5^11
