Given:

6 male professores

9 female professores

5 male teaching assistants

6 female teaching assistants

Sol:.

N(A\text{ or B)=N(A)+N(B)-N(A and B)}

N (professors)

\begin{gathered} =6+9 \\ =15 \end{gathered}

N(Male)

\begin{gathered} =6+5 \\ =11 \end{gathered}

N(professors and male)

=6

N(professors OR male) = N(professors) + N(males) -N(professor OR male)

\begin{gathered} N(\text{ Professors OR male)=15+11-6} \\ =20 \end{gathered}

N(People to choose from)

\begin{gathered} =6+9+5+6 \\ =26 \end{gathered}

Then probablitiy is:

\begin{gathered} =\frac{20}{26} \\ =\frac{10}{13} \end{gathered}

Then the probability is 10/13

Graph the line whose y-intercept is - 9 and whose x-intercept is 5.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

y=1.8x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

if they are intercepts so the x/y will be zero, so in y intetceot the x is zero, and in the x itercept the y is zero.

0,-9

5,0

we calculate the slooe / rise

-9-0/0-5 = 1.8

we then use this formula

y-y1=rise(x-x1)

y-0=1.8(x-5)

y=1.8x-9
