So, notice, the focus point is at -7, 5, and the directrix is at y = -11.
keep in mind that the vertex is half-way between those two fellows, and the distance from the vertex to either one of them is "p" units, check the picture below.
with that focus point and that directrix, the half-way over the axis of symmetry will be -7, -3, that's where the vertex is at, and notice the distance "p", is 8 units.
since the parabola is opening upwards, "p" is positive 8.

Answer:
The correct answer is .
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 135 people in a sport centre.
Let the experiment be to pick a person from the sport centre who only uses exactly one of the facilities.
Total number of possible outcomes = 135
For the gym:
77 people use the gym.
27 people use the gym and the pool.
31 people use the gym and the track.
4 people use all three facilities.
Total number of people using only the gym are 77 - ( 27 + 31 + 4) = 15
For the swimming pool:
62 people use the swimming pool.
27 people use the gym and the pool.
23 people use the pool and the track.
4 people use all three facilities.
Total number of people using only the swimming pool are 62 - ( 27 + 23 + 4) = 8
For the tracks:
65 people use the track.
23 people use the pool and the track.
31 people use the gym and the track.
4 people use all three facilities.
Total number of people using only the tracks are 65 - ( 23 + 31 + 4) = 7
A person is selected at random.
Favorable outcomes = 7 + 8 + 15 = 30
Probability that the person uses exactly one of the facilities = =
.
