  1. The derivative of f(x) = cos(x) can be estimated using the approximation
    f '(x) =
    f(x + h) - f(x - h)
    2h

    The percentage error is calculated as
    Exact value - Approximation value
    × 100
    Exact value

    The percentage error in the derivative of f(x) at x = π / 6 radian, choosing h = 0.1 radian, is

    we require P(x ≥ 1) = 1 – P(x = 0)
    = 1 – 5C0 (0.1)0 (0.9)5
    = 0.4095 ≈ 0.41

    Let P be the probability that six happens in a fair dice,

    ∴ p =
    1
    , q =
    5
    66

    Let X, be the number of times ‘six’ happens Probability of obtaining atleast two ‘six’ in throwing a fair dice 4 times is
    = 1 – {P (X = O) + P (X = 1)}
    = 1 – {4C0 P°q4 + 4C1, P’q3}
