Answer:

B. 0.03110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability of Hit = 60%

Required

Determine the probability that he misses at 6th throw

Represent Probability of Hit with P

P = 60\%

Convert to decimal

P = 0,6

Next; Determine the Probability of Miss (q)

Opposite probabilities add up to 1;

So,

p + q = 1

q = 1 - p

Substitute 0.6 for p

q = 1 - 0.6

q = 0.4

Next,is to determine the required probability;

Since, he's expected to miss the 6th throw, the probability is:

Probability = p^5 * q

Probability = 0.6^5 * 0.4

Probability = 0.031104

Hence;

<em>Option B answers the question</em>

The lengths of the two sides of a triangle (not necessarily a right triangle) are 1.00 meters and 3.46 meters. The sine of the a
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

0.1228

Step-by-step explanation:

We use sine rule

\dfrac{a}{\sin A} = \dfrac{b}{\sin B} = \dfrac{c}{\sin C}

where, in any triangle <em>ABC</em>, <em>a</em> is the side opposite ∠A, <em>b</em> is the side opposite ∠B and <em>c</em> is the side opposite ∠C.

Applying this to the question,

\dfrac{1.00}{0.0355} = \dfrac{3.46}{\sin B}

\sin B = 3.46\times0.0355 = 0.12283 \approx 0.1228
