Answer:

14.72% probability that both professors get their grants funded

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

If two events, A and B are independent, the probability of both happening is:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B)

In this question:

Event A: Professor Jane is funded

Event B: Professor Joe is funded.

Professor Jane has a probability of 0.64 of being funded.

This means that P(A) = 0.64

Professor Joe has probability 0.23 of being funded.

This means that P(B) = 0.23

What is the probability that both professors get their grants funded

P(A \cap B) = P(A)*P(B) = 0.64*0.23 = 0.1472

14.72% probability that both professors get their grants funded

If sin(theta) =4/5 and is in quadrant 2, the value of cot(theta
iren [92.7K]
\sin\theta= \frac{4}{5} 
\\
\\\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1
\\ \cos\theta=\pm \sqrt{1-\sin^2\theta} =\pm \sqrt{1-( \frac{4}{5})^2 } =\pm \sqrt{1- \frac{16}{25} } =\pm \sqrt{\frac{9}{25} }=\pm \frac{3}{5}}

\theta \in II \Rightarrow \cos\theta\ \textless \ 0 \Rightarrow \cos\theta=-\frac{3}{5}

\cot\theta= \frac{\cos\theta}{\sin\theta}= \frac{-\frac{3}{5}}{\frac{4}{5}}  =- \frac{3}{4}
