Suppose you throw a dart at a circular target of radius 10 inches. Assuming that you hit the target and that the coordinates of

the outcomes are chosen at random, find the probability that the dart falls (a) within 2 inches of the center. (b) within 2 inches of the rim. (c) within the first quadrant of the target. (d) within the first quadrant and within 2 inches of the rim.

Answer:

a) The probability is 0.04

b) The probability is 0.36

c) The pprobability is 0,25

d) The probability is 0.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets calculate areas:

the target has a radius of 10 inces, hence the target area has a area on 10²*π = 100π square inches.

a) A circle of 2 inches of radius has an area of 2²π = 4π square inches, hence the probability of hitting that area is 4π/100π = 1/25 = 0.04

b) If the dart s within 2 inches of the rim, then it is not at distance 8 inches from the center (that is the complementary event). The probability for the dart to be at 8 inches of the center is 8²π/100π = 64/100 = 16/25 = 0.64, thus, the probability that the dart is at distance 2 or less from the rim is 1-0.64 = 0.36.

c) The first quadrant has an area exactly 4 times smaller than the area of the target (each quadrant has equal area), thus the probability for the dart to fall there is 1/4 = 0.25

d) If the dart is within 2 inches from the rim (which has probability 0.36 as we previously computed), then it will be equally likely for the dart to be in either of the 4 quadrants (the area that is within 2 inches from the rim forms a ring and it has equal area restricted on each quadrant). Therefore, the probability for the dice to be in the first qudrant and within 2 inches from the rim is 0.36*1/4 = 0.09.

How do I find the volume?​
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

14ft

First get the cones volume formula v=(3.14*r^2*h)/3

Second find the radius which is 1/2 the diameter.

Third plug in given and solve 366= (3.14*5^2*h)/3

366*3=3*(3.14*25*h)/3

1098=78.5h

1098/78.5=78.5h/78.5

13.987=h

Use the counting techniques from the last chapter. A bag contains three red marbles, four green ones, one fluorescent pink one,
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

The probability that she gets all the red ones, given that she gets the fluorescent pink one, is P=0.0035 or 0.35%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Susan grabs four marbles at random.

We have to calculate the probabilities that he picks the 3 red ones, given that she already picked the fluorescent pink.

If it is given that the fluorescent pink is already picked, we are left with three red marbles, four green ones, two yellow ones, and four orange ones. A total of 13 marbles.

The probability that the second marble is red is 3 in 13.

The probability that the third marble is also red is 2 (the red marbles that are left) in 12 (the total amount of marbles left), as there is a picking without replacement.

The probability that the fourth marble is 1 in 11.

Then, the probability that the 3 red marbles are picked, is:

P=P_1\cdot P_2\cdot P_3=\dfrac{3}{13}\cdot \dfrac{2}{12}\cdot \dfrac{1}{11}=\dfrac{6}{1716}=0.0035

Given the set of vertices, determine whether parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. List all that apply. A(7,-4),
Sloan [31]

Given:

Vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(7,-4), B(-1,-4), C(-1,-12), D(7, -12).

To find:

Whether the parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square.

Solution:

Distance formula:

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula, we get

AB=\sqrt{(-4-(-4))^2+(-1-7)^2}

AB=\sqrt{(-4+4)^2+(-8)^2}

AB=\sqrt{0+64}

AB=8

Similarly,

BC=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(12-(-4))^2}=8

CD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-12))^2}=8

AD=\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8

All sides of parallelogram are equal.

AC=\sqrt{(-1-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}

BD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}

Both diagonals are equal.

Since, all sides are equal and both diagonals are equal, therefore, the parallelogram ABCD is a square.

We know that, a square is special case of rectangles and rhombus.

So, parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. Therefore, the correct option is c.
