Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder. In the original game of Clue, the guilty perso

n can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms. At one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms. What is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices, and the guess being correct

Answer:

The probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Clue is a board game in which you must deduce three details surrounding a murder, and in the original game of Clue, the guilty person can be chosen from 66 people, and there are 66 different possible weapons and 99 possible rooms, and at one point in the game, you have narrowed the possibilities down to 44 people, 55 weapons, and 77 rooms, to determine what is the probability of making a random guess of the guilty person, murder weapon, and location from your narrowed-down choices , and the guess being correct, the following calculation must be performed:

(1 / (44x55x77)) x 100 = X

(1 / 186,340) x 100 = X

0.0005366 = X

Therefore, the probability of making a correct random guess is 0.00053%.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

I understand that there are only 4 cards  and then the player draw a card out of the 4 cards, replace it so the second draw is still out of the 4 cards

<u>How many ways can you draw two cards?</u>

as the first card is replaced, this is 4*4=16

so there is 16 possibles ways

hearts hearts

hearts clubs

hearts diamonds

hearts spades

clubs hearts

clubs clubs

clubs diamonds

clubs spades

diamonds hearts

diamonds clubs

diamonds diamonds

diamonds spades

spades hearts

spades clubs

spades diamonds

spades spades

<u>out of these 16 ways, how many have same colour for both cards?</u>

I assume that there are only two colours Red and Black, so we can have

only 8 ways so the first probability is 8/16 = 1/2

<u>out of these 16 ways, how many are red ace first and black ace?</u>

There are 4 ways so the probability is 4/16 = 1/4

hope this helps

Quadrilateral PQRS is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 with point R as the center of dilation, resulting in the image P'Q'R'S'.
Pachacha [2.7K]

The statement that is true about line segment P'S' is (c) Segment P'S' s 4 units long and lies on a different segment

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The complete question is in the attached image

From the image, we have:

PS = 8 units

This means that:

P'S' = 1/2 * PS

So, we have:

P'S' = 1/2 * 8

Evaluate

P'S' = 4

Also, the segment PS and P'S' do not lie on the same segment

Hence, the true statement is (c)

Please help with any of this Im stuck and having trouble with pre calc is it basic triogmetric identities using quotient and rec
german

How I was taught all of these problems is in terms of r, x, and y. Where sin = y/r, cos = x/r, tan = y/x, csc = r/y, sec = r/x, cot = x/y. That is how I will designate all of the specific pieces in each problem.

#3

Let's start with sin here. \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} Therefore, because sin is y/r, r = \sqrt{5} and y = +2. Moving over to cot, which is x/y, x = -1, and y = 2. We know y has to be positive because it is positive in our given value of sin. Now, to find cos, we have to do x/r.

cos = \frac{-1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{-\sqrt{5}}{5}

#4

Let's start with secant here. Secant is r/x, where r (the length value/hypotenuse) cannot be negative. So, r = 9 and x = -7. Moving over to tan, x must still equal -7, and y = 4\sqrt{2}. Now, to find csc, we have to do r/y.

csc = \frac{9}{4\sqrt{2}} = \frac{9\sqrt{2}}{8}

The pythagorean identities are

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1,

1 + cot^2 = csc^2,

tan^2 + 1 = sec^2.

#5

Let's take a look at the information given here. We know that cos = -3/4, and sin (the y value), must be greater than 0. To find sin, we can use the first pythagorean identity.

sin^2 + (-3/4)^2 = 1

sin^2 + 9/16 = 1

sin^2 = 7/16

sin = \sqrt{7/16} = \frac{\sqrt{7}}{4}

Now to find tan using a pythagorean identity, we'll first need to find sec. sec is the inverse/reciprocal of cos, so therefore sec = -4/3. Now, we can use the third trigonometric identity to find tan, just as we did for sin. And, since we know that our y value is positive, and our x value is negative, tan will be negative.

tan^2 + 1 = (-4/3)^2

tan^2 + 1 = 16/9

tan^2 = 7/9

tan = -\sqrt{7/9} = \frac{-\sqrt{7}}{3}

#6

Let's take a look at the information given here. If we know that csc is negative, then our y value must also be negative (r will never be negative). So, if cot must be positive, then our x value must also be negative (a negative divided by a negative makes a positive). Let's use the second pythagorean identity to solve for cot.

1 + cot^2 = (\frac{-\sqrt{6}}{2})^{2}

1 + cot^2 = 6/4

cot^2 = 2/4

cot = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

tan = \sqrt{2}

Next, we can use the third trigonometric identity to solve for sec. Remember that we can get tan from cot, and cos from sec. And, from what we determined in the beginning, sec/cos will be negative.

(\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}})^2 + 1 = sec^2

4/2 + 1 = sec^2

2 + 1 = sec^2

sec^2 = 3

sec = -\sqrt{3}

cos = \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{3}

Hope this helps!! :)

Find each of the following using prime
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the prime factors of 3375 are

3375 = 3³ × 5³, then

\sqrt[3]{3375}

= \sqrt[3]{3^3(5^3)}

= \sqrt[3]{3^3} × \sqrt[3]{5^3}

= 3 × 5

= 15
