Answer:

P of white: 0.26

P of green: 0.39

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the probability of a white pin is p.

Then the probability of a green pin is (3/2)p because their ratio is 3:2.

The sum of the probabilities must be 1.

0.1+(3/2)p+0.25+p=1

(5/2)p+0.35=1

(5/2)p=0.65

p=(2/5)(0.65)=0.26

(3/2)p=0.39

We'll use the notation $\textrm{Arcsin } x$ for the principal value and $\arcsin x$ for all the values:

$\arcsin x = \textrm{Arcsin } x + 2\pi k \textrm{ or } (\pi - \textrm{Arcsin }x) + 2\pi k \quad \textrm{ integer } k$

Part I

$\sin(\theta/2) = \frac 1 2$

$\theta/2 = \arcsin \frac 1 2$

Part II. In our range we can write

$\sin(\theta/2) = \sin(\frac \pi 6)$

$\theta/2 = \frac \pi 6 \textrm{ or } \theta /2 = \pi - \frac \pi 6 = \frac{5\pi}{6}$

Part III.

$\theta = \frac \pi 3 \textrm{ or } \theta = \frac{5\pi}{3}$

Part IV.

$\theta/2 = \frac \pi 6 + 2\pi k \textrm{ or } \theta = \frac{5 \pi}{6} + 2\pi k \quad \textrm{integer } k$

$\theta = \frac \pi 3 + 4 \pi k \textrm{ or } \theta = \frac{5 \pi}{3} + 4\pi k \quad \textrm{integer } k$

shutvik [7]

Answer:

x=16; y=24

Step-by-step explanation:

for (x,23), 23=0.5x+15

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches shorter than double its width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 192 inches. Write a two-s

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Let the width = x

Let the length = x + 5

Equation

2w + 2W = P

Solution

2x + 2(x + 5) = 192 Remove the brackets <=== Answer

2x + 2x + 10 = 192 Combine like terms

4x + 10 = 192 Subtract 10 from both sides

4x = 192 - 10

4x = 182 Divide by 4

4x/4 = 182/4

x = 45.5
