Answer:

144m

Step-by-step explanation:

we would used tan 30 to determine the height of the building

tan 30 = opposite / adjacent

0.5774 x 250 = 144m

Scott and Letitia are brother and sister. After dinner, they have to do the dishes, with one washing and the other drying. They

ehidna [41]

Answer:

The probability that Scott will wash is 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the events be: P = Purple and G = Green

$P = 2$

$G = 3$

Required

The probability of Scott washing the dishes

If Scott washes the dishes, then it means he picks two spoons of the same color handle.

So, we have to calculate the probability of picking the same handle. i.e.

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

This gives:

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = P(G_1) * P(G_2)$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{n(G)}{Total} * \frac{n(G)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{3-1}{5- 1}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{5} * \frac{2}{4}$

$P(G_1\ and\ G_2) = \frac{3}{10}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = P(P_1) * P(P_2)$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{n(P)}{Total} * \frac{n(P)-1}{Total - 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{2-1}{5- 1}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{2}{5} * \frac{1}{4}$

$P(P_1\ and\ P_2) = \frac{1}{10}$

<em>Note that: 1 is subtracted because it is a probability without replacement</em>

So, we have:

$P(Same) = P(G_1\ and\ G_2) + P(P_1\ and\ P_2)$

$P(Same) = \frac{3}{10} + \frac{1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{3+1}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{4}{10}$

$P(Same) = \frac{2}{5}$
