Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Number of white balls = 5

Number of red balls = 4

Number if blue balls = 3

Probability = required outcome / Total possible outcomes

Total possible outcomes (Total number of balls) = 5 + 4 + 3 = 12

a. What is the probability that exactly two of the balls are white?

(White, white, not white) or (not white, white, white) or (white, not white, white)

Assume balls were picked without replacement ;

P(white, white, not white) = (5/12 × 4/11 × 7/10) = 0.1060606

P(not white, white, white) = (7/12 × 5/11 × 4/10) = 0.1060606

P(white, not white, white) = (5/12 × 7/11 × 4/10) = 0.1060606

P(exactly 2 white balls) = 3×(0.1060606) = 0.3181818

b. What is the probability that one ball of each color is selected ?

(White, red, blue) or (red, white, blue) or (red, blue, white) or (blue, red, white), (white, blue, red), (blue, white, red)

P(white, red, blue) = (5/12 * 4/11 * 3/10) = 0.0454545

(0.0454545 × 3) = 0.272727

c. What is the probability that all three of the selected balls have the same color ?

P(white, white, white) or P(blue, blue, blue) or P(red, red, red)

P(white, white, white) = (5/12 * 4/11 * 3/10) = 0.0454545

P(blue, blue, blue) = (3/12 * 2/11 * 1/10) = 0.0045454

P(red, red, red) = (4/12 * 3/11 * 2/10) = 0.0181818

(0.0454545 + 0.0045454 + 0.0181818) = 0.0681817

30 PTS!!! ANYONE GOOD AT MATH PLS HELP!
siniylev [52]

Answer:

\frac{2}{\sqrt{5} }

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, all we need to do is draw a triangle.  

From the arctan(2) we can deduce that tan(x)=\frac{2}{1}

From that, we can draw our triangle as we know that tan(x) is the opposite side over the adjacent side. Attached is that triangle. Through the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find that the hypotenuse of this right triangle is  \sqrt{5}

Now all we need to do is take the sin of this triangle, which is the opposite side over the hypotenuse

This gives us the value of \frac{2}{\sqrt{5} } which is our answer.
