Answer:
31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is
In which
P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.
is the probability of both A and B happening.
P(A) is the probability of A happening
In this question:
Event A: Rain
Event B: Winter day
Probability of rain:
0.42 of 0.25(winter), 0.23 of 0.25(spring), 0.16 of 0.25(summer) or 0.51 of 0.25(fall).
So
Intersection:
Rain on a winter day, which is 0.42 of 0.25. So
If you were told that on a particular day it was raining in Vancouver, what would be the probability that this day would be a winter day?
31.82% probability that this day would be a winter day
Answer:
84.5 m
Step-by-step explanation:
It is often helpful to draw a diagram for word problems involving geometric relationships. One for this problem is shown below.
The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between sides of a right triangle:
Tan = Opposite/Adjacent
Here we're given angles of depression measured from the horizontal (as shown in the diagram), but it is more convenient to use angles measured from the vertical. In particular, ∠BAO is the complement of 60°, and its tangent is the ratio OB/OA:
tan(30°) = OB/OA
OB = (200 m)·tan(30°) ≈ 115.47 m . . . . . . multiply by OA, use OA=200 m
Likewise, we have ...
OC = (200 m)·tan(45°) = 200 m
Then the width of the river is the difference between these values:
BC = OC -OB = 200 m - 115.47 m = 84.53 m
Answer:
5+x=-4, =9
Step-by-step explanation:
5+x=-4 Write equation
-5 -5 Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x
+x=-9
Remove the radical by raising each side to the index of the radical.
x=-1
