Answer:0.0128

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

There are 35 gems out of which there are 10 real diamonds and 25 are fake diamonds.

Probability that  the last gem burglar steals is second real diamond in the set of four

there can three possibilities

a)Real , fake, fake , real

b)fake , real , fake , real

c)fake, fake, real ,real

a)P=\frac{10}{35}\times \frac{25}{34}\times \frac{24}{33}\times \frac{9}{32}=\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}                    

b)P=\frac{25}{35}\times \frac{10}{34}\times \frac{24}{33}\times \frac{9}{32}=\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}

c)P=\frac{25}{35}\times \frac{24}{34}\times \frac{10}{33}\times \frac{9}{32}=\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}

P_{total}=3\times =\frac{25\times 24\times 10\times 9}{35\times 34\times 33\times 32}=\frac{54000}{1256640}=0.0128

ZanzabumX [31]

Given:

The radius of circle is 11 inch

The value for pi is 3

The objective is to find the area of the circle.

The area of the circle is given by the formula:

A=\pi\times r^2^{}

Substituting ,r = 11

\pi=3

We get:

\begin{gathered} A=\pi\times r^2 \\ =3\times(11)^2 \\ =3\times121 \\ =363 \end{gathered}

Hence, the area of the circle is 363 square inches
