<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The probability of getting a red or blue ball is 0.48

<u>For b:</u> The probability of getting a white, blue or orange ball is 0.81

<u>For c:</u> The probability of getting neither white or orange ball is 0.48

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Probability is defined as the extent to which an event is likely to occurs. It is measured by the ratio of the favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes.

\text{Probability}=\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of favorable outcomes}}     .......(1)

We are given:

Number of red balls in a box = 12

Number of white balls in a box = 18

Number of blue balls in a box = 19

Number of orange balls in a box = 15

Total balls in a box = [12 + 18 + 19 + 15] = 64

  • <u>For a:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be red or blue) = [12 + 19] = 31

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a red or blue ball}=\frac{31}{64}=0.48

  • <u>For b:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or blue or orange) = [18 + 19 + 15] = 52

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or blue or orange ball}=\frac{52}{64}=0.81

  • <u>For c:</u>

Number of favorable outcomes (ball must be white or orange) = [18 + 15] = 33

Total number of outcomes = 64

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Probability of getting a white or orange ball}=\frac{33}{64}=0.52

Probability of getting a ball which is neither white or orange = [1 - (Probability of getting a white or orange ball)] = [1 - 0.52] = 0.48

11) A building casts a shadow of 100 feet. The angle of elevation from the end of the shadow to the top of the
svp [43]

Answer:

≈ 27 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle formed by the building and the ground.

tan15° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{?}{100} ( multiply both sides by 100 )

100 × tan15° = ? , then

? ≈ 27 ft ( to the nearest whole number )
