Probabilities are used to determine the chances of events

The probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is 8%

<h3>How to calculate the probability</h3>

Represent the events as follows:

  • A represents mechanical pencil
  • B represents wooden pencil
  • C represents colored pencil

So, we have

P(A) = 20%

P(B) = 40%

P(C) = 30%

The probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is then calculated as:

P(B n A) = P(B) * P(A)

This gives

P(B n A) = 40% * 20%

Evaluate the product

P(B n A) = 8%

Hence, the probability that Jill selects a wooden pencil and then a mechanical pencil is 8%

4cos(10x)+2=2<br><br> What would this equal in Degrees??
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Simplifying

4cos(10x) + 2 = 2

Remove parenthesis around (10x)

4cos * 10x + 2 = 2

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:

4 * 10cos * x + 2 = 2

Multiply 4 * 10

40cos * x + 2 = 2

Multiply cos * x

40cosx + 2 = 2

Reorder the terms:

2 + 40cosx = 2

Add '-2' to each side of the equation.

2 + -2 + 40cosx = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

0 + 40cosx = 2 + -2

40cosx = 2 + -2

Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0

40cosx = 0

Solving

40cosx = 0

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '40'.

cosx = 0.0

Simplifying

cosx = 0.0

The solution to this equation could not be determined.

Cole said that 555 rounded to the nearest ten is 600. What's coles error?
ki77a [65]
Cole's mistake was that he rounded 555 to the nearest hundred instead of the nearest ten. He should've rounded it to 560 because the tens place is the second number, not the first one.

the ratio of the length of an airplane wing to its width is 6 to1 . if the length of a wing is 12.5 meters ,how wide must it be
erastova [34]

If you set up a proportion, this will make sense.


\frac{6}{1}= \frac{12.5}{x}

Now, Cross Multiply


6x = 12.5

x = 25/12
