The odds for encountering rain on a 500-mile car trip are 3 to 1. what is the probability of rain on this trip?

probability of rain = 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The odds for encountering rain on a 500-mile car trip are 3 to 1.

This means that out of any 4 instances of a 500 mile trip, it is expected to encounter rain 1 time. Expressing this in probability format:

Probability of rain = (number of occurance of rain)/(number of instances of 500 mile trip) = 1/4 = 0.25

Expressing it as a percentage, there is 25% chance of encountering rain on such a trip.

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

by the trigonometric ratio tangent, tangent equals opposite divided by adjacent.

therefore, tan(50) equals ac/3

multiply each side by 3 to get: ac=3tan(50)

the answer is b.
