Answer: 0.476

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A = Event of choosing an even number ball.

B = Event of choosing an 8 .

Given, A lottery game has balls numbered 1 through 21.

Sample space: S= {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,...., 21}

n(S) = 21

Then, A= {2,4,6,8, 10,...(20)}

i.e. n(A)= 10

B= {8}

n(B) = 1

A∪B = {2,4,6,8, 10,...(20)} = A

n(A∪B)=10

Now, the probability of selecting an even numbered ball or an 8 is

P(A\cup B)=\dfrac{n(A\cup B)}{n(S)}

=\dfrac{10}{21}\approx0.476

Hence, the required probability =0.476

Which angle has a sine of -1/2 and a cosine of -√3/2
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
\sin x=-\dfrac{1}{2} < 0\\\\\cos x=-\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} < 0\\\\therefore\ x\in(180^o;\ 270^o)

\text{We know:}\ \tan x=\dfrac{\sin x}{\cos x}\\\\\text{therefore:}\ \tan x=\dfrac{-\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{\sqrt3}{2}}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt3}\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt3}{\sqrt3}=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}

\tan x=\dfrac{\sqrt3}{3}\Rightarrow x=30^o+180^o\cdot k;\ k\in\mathbb{Z}

x\in(180^o;\ 270^o)\ therefore\ \boxed{x=30^o+180^o=210^o}
