Twenty-two percent of the large pieces of mail that Rachel received this week were magazines and the rest were catalogs. Of the

catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing. To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog?

Since 22% were not catalogs, 78% were catalogs. 36% of those were clothing:
.36 * .78 = .28 or 28%

Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Twenty-two percent of the large pieces of mail that Rachel received this week were magazines and the rest were catalogs.

Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing.

To Find: To the nearest whole percent, what is the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog

Solution:

Magazines = 22%=0.22

we are given that Rest are catalogs

So, catalogs = 100%-22% = 78% = 0.78

Of the catalogs, 36 percent were for clothing.

Out of catalogs Clothing = 0.36

So, probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog = 0.36 \times 0.78=0.2808

To the nearest whole percent, the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog = 0.2808 \times 100=28.08\%

Hence  the probability that a randomly chosen large piece of Rachel’s mail was a clothing catalog to the nearest whole percent is 28%

Find the value of each variable
aniked [119]

Answer:

Answer d)

a= 10*\sqrt{3} b=5*\sqrt{3}, c=15, and d=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there are basically two right angle triangles to examine: a smaller one in size on the right and a larger one on the left, and both share side "b".

So we proceed to find the value of "b" by noticing that it the side "opposite side to angle 60 degrees" in the triangle of the right (the one with hypotenuse = 10). So we can use the sine function to find its value:

b=10*sin(60^o)= 10*\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} = 5*\sqrt{3}

where we use the fact that the sine of 60 degrees can be written as: \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

We can also find the value of "d" in that same small triangle, using the cosine function of 60 degrees:

d=10*cos(60^o)=10* \frac{1}{2} = 5

In order to find the value of side "a", we use the right angle triangle on the left, noticing that "a" s the hypotenuse of that triangle, and our (now known) side "b" is the opposite to the 30 degree angle. We use here the definition of sine of an angle as the quotient between the opposite side and the hypotenuse:

sin(30^o)= \frac{b}{a} \\a=\frac{b}{sin(30)} \\a=\frac{5*\sqrt{3} }{\frac{1}{2} } \\a= 10*\sqrt{3}

where we used the value of the sine function of 30 degrees as one half: \frac{1}{2}

Finally, we can find the value of the fourth unknown: "c", by using the cos of 30 degrees and the now known value of the hypotenuse in that left triangle:

c=10*\sqrt{3} * cos(30^o)=10*\sqrt{3} *\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \\c= 5*3=15

Therefore, our answer agrees with the values shown in option d)
