Using proportions, it is found that the coordinates of point T are given as follows: T(5,2).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

In this problem, point T partitions the segment DF in a 2:1 ratio, hence:

T - D = \frac{2}{2+1}(F - D)

T - D = \frac{2}{3}(F - D)

This is applied for both coordinates, hence, for the x-coordinate:

x - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(7 - 1)

x - 1 = 4

x = 5

For the y-coordinate:

y - 4 = \frac{2}{3}(1 - 4)

y - 4 = -2

y = 2.

Hence, the coordinates of point T are: T(5,2).

A bag of lollipops contains red lollipops and purple lollipops. 80% of the lollipops in the bag are red. A number generator simu
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

  The number generator is fair. It picked the approximate percentage of red lollipops most of the time.

Step-by-step explanation:

The other answer choices represent various misinterpretations of the nature of the experiment or the meaning of the numbers generated.

___

A number generator can be quite fair, but give wildly varying percentages of red lollipops. Attached are the results of a series of nine (9) simulations of the type described in the problem statement. You can see that the symmetrical result shown in the problem statement is quite unusual. A number generator that gives results that are too ideal may not be sufficiently random.
