Answer:
Cos B = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Sine B = 3/5
Cos B =?
Recall:
Sine B = Opposite / Hypothenus
Sine B = 3/5
Therefore,
Opposite = 3
Hypothenus = 5
Next, we shall determine the Adjacent. This can be obtained as follow:
Opposite = 3
Hypothenus = 5
Adjacent =?
Hypo² = Adj² + Opp²
5² = Adj² + 3²
25 = Adj² + 9
Collect like terms
Adj² = 25 – 9
Adj² = 16
Take the square root of both side
Adj = √16
Adjacent = 4
Finally, we shall determine Cos B. This can be obtained as follow:
Hypothenus = 5
Adjacent = 4
Cos B =?
Cos B = Adjacent / Hypothenus
Cos B = 4/5
Answer:
21 / 143
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of Eastern conference reps = 8
Number of western conference rep = 7
Probability of selecting 3 from Eastern reps and 2 from western reps
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Total possible outcomes:
selection to be made = 3+ 2 = 5
Total Number of players = 8 +7 = 15
Total possible outcomes
Using combination formula :
nCr = n! / (n-r)!r!
15C5 = 15! / 10!5! = (15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11) / (5*4'3*2*1) = 360360 / 120 = 3003
Total possible outcomes = 3003
Required outcome :
8C3 * 7C2
8C3 = 56 ; 7C2 = 21
8C3 * 7C2 = 56 * 21 = 1176
required outcome / Total possible outcomes
= 1176 / 3003
= 21 / 143
