Answer:

0.575

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of probabilities:

1. Theoretical Probability

2. Experimental Probability

The probability based on mathematical theories is called theoretical probability. It is not always true. i.e. the probability of getting a head in a toss of coin is 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

Experimental probability is based on experiments. Experimental probability is always going to change whenever the experiment is performed.

The theoretical probability of getting a head while tossing a coin will always be 50% while experimental probability might be different the next time, experiment is performed.

In this case, the experimental probability will be 23/40 or 0.575 ..

What is the radius of a circle given by equation x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0

Lera25 [3.4K]

X^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y - 47 = 0
x^2 + y^2 - 2x + 8y = 47
(x^2 - 2x) + (y^2 + 8y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x) + (y^2 + 2(4)y) = 47
(x^2 - 2(1)x + 1^2) + (y^2 + 2(4)y + 4^2) = 47 + 1^2 + 4^2
(x - 1)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 64 = 8^2
