Use a half angle identity to find the exact value- sin(75 degrees)
Solution:
The line of a half angle identity is as follows:
If we plug in 75 degrees we get:

The line of a half angle identity is as follows:
If we plug in 75 degrees we get:
1. Out of 100 women, we expect 1.2 to actually have breast cancer (12 out of 1000)
2. However, only 88% (880 out of 1000) of these will be detected, so 1.056 (i.e. 88% of 1.2) will be detected
3. In addition, of the 98.8 women who don’t have breast cancer 9% (90 out of 1000) will trigger a false positive” (9% of 98.8 = 8.892)
4. So out of 100 women, 9.948 will have positive mammography readings (1.056+9.892)
5. Of these 9.948, only 1.056 will actually have breast cancer
6. 10.6% = (1.056/1.056+9.892) This ratio is essentially an application of Bayes Theorem

A six-sided polygon is known as a Hexagon:
1. The cardinality of a set is a measure of the “number of elements of the set”. For example, the set A = {2, 4, 6} contains = elements, and therefore A has a cardinality of 3.
2. Given a set S, the power set of S, written , P(S), is the set of all subsets of S, including the empty set and S itself.
3. If S={a, b}, then P(S) ={{},{a},{b},{a,b}} and the Cardinality of P(S) is 4.
First, take a look at this link to understand the Principle of Inclusion and Exclusion:

Next, make a list of all the subsets:
