see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The equilateral triangle has three equal sides
so
in the equilateral triangle ABC
the height of the triangle is the segment BD
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
solve for BD
substitute the values
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the height of the triangle is
Answer:
The experimental probability of rolling an odd number is 60%, which is 10% more than the theoretical probability.
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is:
Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. If necessary, use/ for the fraction bar(s).
A special 8-sided die is marked with the numbers 1 to 8. It is rolled 20 times with these outcomes.
3, 4, 5, 2, 7, 1, 3, 7, 2, 6, 2, 1, 7, 3, 6, 1, 8, 3, 5, 6
The experimental probability of rolling an odd number is _%, which is _% more than the theoretical probability.
Solution:
The possible outcomes of rolling an 8-sided die are:
S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
The odd numbers are:
Odd = {1, 3, 5, 7} = 4 outcomes
The theoretical probability of rolling an odd number is:
Now from the given 20 outcomes the odd values are:
Odd = {3, 5, 7, 1, 3, 7, 1, 7, 3, 1, 3, 5} = 12 outcomes
Compute the experimental probability of rolling an odd number as follows:
Thus, the experimental probability of rolling an odd number is 60%, which is 10% more than the theoretical probability.
