Answer:
0.85% probability that the first two are good and the last three are spoiled
Step-by-step explanation:
A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.
The order in which the first two jugs is not important, as is not the order in which the last three are selected. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.
Combinations formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
Desired outcomes:
2 spoiled, from a set of 43-11 = 32.
3 spoiled, from a set of 11.
So
Total outcomes:
5 jugs from a set of 43.
Probability:
0.85% probability that the first two are good and the last three are spoiled
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The "Pythagorean relation" between trig functions can be used to find the sine.
<h3>Pythagorean relation</h3>The relation between sine and cosine is the identity ...
sin(x)² +cos(x)² = 1
This can be solved for sin(x) in terms of cos(x):
sin(x) = √(1 -cos(x)²)
<h3>Application</h3>For the present case, using the given cosine value, we find ...
sin(x) = √(1 -(√3/2)²) = √(1 -3/4) = √(1/4)
sin(x) = 1/2
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
The sine and cosine of an angle are the y and x coordinates (respectively) of the corresponding point on the unit circle. The right triangle with these legs will satisfy the Pythagorean theorem with ...
sin(x)² + cos(x)² = 1 . . . . . . where 1 is the hypotenuse (radius of unit circle)
A calculator can always be used to verify the result.
