Answer:

a. 24

b. 2

c. 0.0833 = 8.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

a.

The first "slot" of person to arrive has 4 possibilities, then the second "slot" will have 3 possibilities, as one has already arrived, then the third "slot" has 2 possibilities, and the fourth "slot" has just 1 possibility.

So, multiplying all these combinations, we have 4*3*2*1 = 24 possible ways they can arrive

b.

If the first and the last person are already "locked", we just have possibilities for the second and third person. The second will have 2 possibilities (Sergio or Tyrone), and the third will have only 1 (the person that wasn't the second between Sergio and Tyrone). So, the number of possibilities is 2*1 = 2

c.

If we have 2 cases where Dawn is first and Jim is last, from a total of 24 possible cases, the probability is 2/24 = 1/12 = 0.0833 = 8.33%

What is the best approximation of the length of segment QS? (Note: cos 80° = 0.17)
matrenka [14]

Answer: QS=11.8cm


Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have the following information:

- The lenght of RS is 2 centimeters.

- The angle m∠S=80°.

- Cos80°=0.17

2. Therefore, you can calculate the lenght of the segment QS as following:

cos80=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

adjacent=2cm\\hypotenuse=QS\\cos80=0.17

3. Substitute values and solve for QS:

0.17=\frac{2cm}{QS}\\QS=\frac{2cm}{0.17} \\QS=11.76cm

4. To the nearest tenth:

QS=11.8cm
