Answer:

0.345

Step-by-step explanation:

hits/at-bats = 345/1000 = 0.345

The probability of a hit, any particular time he goes to bat. is 0.345.

The problem does not request any particular format, so 0.345 is a perfectly good answer.

In baseball, that is called a 'batting average', and is actually expressed that way - as a decimal - in a player's statistics.

On the other hand, if we did want to express the probability as a percentage, we would do this:

0.345 * 100% = (0.345 * 100) % = 34.5 %

Hope this helps

Answer:

110in

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the angle and the length of one leg of the triangle. Therefore, you will want to use one of the trigonometric formulae you've learnt. The available ones are:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{O}{H}\\cos(\theta)=\frac{A}{H}\\tan(\theta)=\frac{O}{A}\\$

where O represents the leg opposite the angle, A represents the leg Adjacent to the angle, and H represents the hypotenuse. The lamppost in this problem is the leg opposite the angle, so you want a formula that has O in the equation, namely sin or tan. Because you were given the leg adjacent to the angle, it makes sense here to use tan. Set up the equation as such to solve:

$tan(70)=\frac{x}{40}\\40*tan(70)=x\\x=110\\$

For some reason, it wanted you to convert 70 degrees to radians, so that may have been where you could have run into issues. If you plugged in 70 as degrees, you would get 48 which isn't an option. Converting 70 to 1.22 rad gets you the answer of 110 in.

Answer:

I am pretty sure $750

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 10 slices of cake, you would have to divded the cost ($2,500) by 10 to find out the cost per slice (you would get $250). Since we are finding the cost of 3 slices, you would mulitply 250 by 3, then you get your answer
