Answer:
<em>The probability is 0.89 or 89%</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability</u>
There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.
We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.
The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:
Simplifying:
The probability is 0.89 or 89%
Cross multiply or just multiply both sides by 24
24x/6=36
4x=36
divide both sides by 4
x=9
X
X+2
X+4
Those are 3 consecutive odd integers
You have to go at this in a round-about fashion...by finding the length of the leg across from the 67 degree angle. This is found by using the tangent ratio...Tan(67)=x/137; x=137tan(67) = 322.8. Now you can use this in one of two ways: use Pythagorean's Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse OR you could use the sin67=322.8/x. Up to you. Either way, make sure you have your calculator in degree mode!
