Determine the number of elements in the Sample Space for each of the following:

lesantik [10]

Sample space is the set of possible outcomes of an experiment.
1. Tossing a coin three times
There are possible outcomes.
Tossing the coin for the first time it can be a haid (H) or a tail (T). So, we can have this outcomes:
HHH
HHT
HTH
THH
TTH
THT
TTT
total: 6 outcomes
2. The order that the top 5 students will receive their diplomas.
Here we need to find the number of permutations: 5!=5*4*3*2*1=120
3. Tossing a pair of dice
The possible outcomes are the following: (a,b), where a is the first dice and b is the second dice
(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(1,5)(1,6)(2,1)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(2,5)(2,6)(3,1)(3,2)(3,3)(3,4)(3,5)(3,6)(4,1)(4,2)(4,3)(4,4)(4,5)(4,6)(5,1)(5,2)(5,3)(5,4)(5,5)(5,6)(6,1)(6,2)(6,3)(6,4)(6,5)(6,6) , total 36 possible outcomes.

A 51-foot wire running from the top of a tent pole to the ground makes an angle of 58° with the ground. If the length of the ten

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

35.11 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This given situation can be thought of as triangle $\triangle PQR$ where PQ is the length of pole.

PR is the length of rope.

and QR is the distance of bottom of pole to the point of fastening of rope to the ground.

And $\angle Q \neq 90^\circ$

Given that:

PQ = 44 ft

PR = 51 ft

$\angle R = 58^\circ$

To find:

Side QR = ?

Solution:

We can apply Sine Rule here to find the unknown side.

Sine Rule:

$\dfrac{a}{sinA} = \dfrac{b}{sinB} = \dfrac{c}{sinC}$

Where

a is the side opposite to $\angle A$

b is the side opposite to $\angle B$

c is the side opposite to $\angle C$

$\dfrac{PR}{sinQ}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{PR}{PQ}\times sinR\\\Rightarrow sin Q =\dfrac{51}{44}\times sin58^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle Q =79.41^\circ$

Now,

$\angle P +\angle Q +\angle R =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P +58^\circ+79.41^\circ=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow \angle P = 42.59^\circ$

Let us use the Sine rule again:

$\dfrac{QR}{sinP}=\dfrac{PQ}{sinR}\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sinP}{sinR}\times PQ\\\Rightarrow QR =\dfrac{sin42.59}{sin58}\times 44\\\Rightarrow QR = 35.11\ ft$
