The radius is √25=5 in this case.
find the area of each triangles first. (the pentagon can be divided into 5 isosceles triangles)
the two equal sides are 5 each, the angle between them is 360/5=72 degree, so the base side is 2*5*sin36, and the height is 5*Cos36
the area of each triangle is (1/2)*2*5*Sin36*5*Cos36
the total area of the 5 triangles is: 5*(1/2)*2*5*Sin36*5*Cos36
use a calculator: A≈59.44

The figure below shows a shaded circular region inside a larger circle: A shaded circle is shown inside another larger circle. T

Taya2010 [7]

Area of larger circle: 3.14 x 5^2 = 78.5

Area of small circle: 3.14 x 2^2 = 12.56

Difference of the 2 areas: 78.5 - 12.56 = 65.94

Probability of being in large circle but not small circle: 65.94 / 78.5 = 0.84 = 84%

The answer is A) 84%

1.Famous basketball player Michael Jordan had a free throw percentage of 0.83. (He made 83% of his free throw shots.) Assume tha

MissTica

Michael Jordan's Freethrow, the population of the 6 countries and the distribution of the uninsured drivers are illustrations of probabilities

<h3>1. Michael Jordan Freethrow</h3>

The given parameter is:

p = 83% -- the percentage of free throws he made

<u>Probability that he misses his 6th throw </u>

The probability that he misses his 6th throw is:

P = P(He made the first 5 throws) * P(He lost the 6th)

This gives

P = (83%)^5 * (1 - 83%)^1

P = 0.0670

<u>Expected number of miss</u>

The expected number till he misses the first free throw is:

E(x) = np

This gives

E(x) = 6 * 83%

E(x) = 4.98

Approximate

E(x) = 5

Hence, the probability that he misses his 6th throw is 0.0670 and the expected number till he misses the first free throw is 5

<h3>2. Country Populations</h3>

The given parameters are:

Average population = 268.35 million

Standard deviation = 370.43 million

<u>The z-scores for the United States, Egypt, and Mexico</u>

This is calculated as:

z = (x - $\mu$ )/ $\sigma$

So, we have:

US = (332 million - 268.35 million)/ 370.43 million

US = 0.17

Egypt = (104 million - 268.35 million)/ 370.43 million

Egypt = -0.44

Mexico = (128 million - 268.35 million)/ 370.43 million

Mexico = -0.38

<u>The countries from the smallest to the largest </u>

By comparing the z-score of the countries, the order of the countries are:

Egypt, Japan, Mexico, Brazil, United States and India

The countries are ranked that way because the higher the z-score, the higher the population

<h3>3. Uninsured drivers</h3>

The given parameter is:

p = 12.6% -- the percentage of uninsured drivers

<u>Probability that exactly 5 drivers of 30 are uninsured</u>

This is calculated as:

P(x) = nCx * p^x * (1 - p)^(n-x)

So, we have:

P(5) = 30C5 * (12.6%)^5 * (1 - 12.6%)^(30-5)

Evaluate the product

P(5) = 0.1561

<u>Probability that the next uninsured driver is the 7th</u>

This is calculated as:

P = P(First 6 are insured) * P(7th is unisured)

This gives

P = (1 - 12.6%)^6 * (12.6%)^1

P = 0.0562

The probability that exactly 5 drivers of 30 are uninsured is 0.1561, and the probability that the next uninsured driver is the 7th is 0.0562
