On three days, Ben throws darts at a target.
1 answer:
Answer:
0.6 ;
0.7
Reaukt in B will give a better estimate because it has a larger sample size (120) than the result on A ,with sample size (30)
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of hitting the target using Tuesday's result :
P(hitting the target):
Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
Required outcome = number of hits = 18
Total possible outcomes = number of throws =. 30
Hence, Probability of hitting the target using Tuesday's result : 18 / 30 = 0.6
B.)
Probability of hitting the target using Total result:
Required outcome = number of hits = 84
Total possible outcomes = number of throws =. 120
= 84 / 120
= 0.7

Answer:
27 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
The easy way is by remembering the formula (a-b)/2=c, where a is the larger angle, and b is the smallest angle. (90-36)/2=27.
The longer, more drawn out answer goes as follows. See the image to understand the notation I use:
- AOE + BOD + BOA + DOE = 360
- AOE + BOD = 90 + 36 = 126
- BOA + DOE = 360 - AOE - BOD = 234
- Since the sum of a triangle's angles is 180, ODE = (180 - DOE) / 2
- Likewise, OBA = (180 - BOA) / 2
- Since CDE is 180, CDO = 180 - ODE = 180 - (180 - DOE) / 2
- Likewise, CBA is 180, so CBO = 180 - OBA = 180 - (180 - BOA) / 2
- The interior angles of the irregular polygon CBOD add up to 360, so CBO + CDO + BOD + BCD = 360.
- Substituting what we already found, 180 - (180 - BOA)/2 + 180 - (180 - DOE)/2 + 36 + BCD = 360
- Cleaning it all up, we get 180 + (BOA + DOE)/2 + 36 + BCD = 360
- As we found in line 3, BOA + DOE = 234, so substituting that in, 180 + 117 + 36 + BCD = 360
- Finally, solving for BCD (360 - 36 - 117 - 180) we get our answer, 27
Note: The long drawn out method shown above is a way to derive the formula for the secant theorem. You do not need to use this method every time. Just remember, large angle minus small angle, all divided by 2. That is it.
