The probability that the 10th will be able to sit on his/her original seat when the 1st person has randomly changed his/her seat is 7/9

 

Probability :

In Mathematics, Probability stands for the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in a random experiment. It is used to predict how likely an event can happen.

Probability of an event,

P(E) = No of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

Here we have,

10 people always get on a bus in the same order and sit in the same places.

The 1st person has randomly changed his/her seat

Except for 1 remaining number of seats is 9

If 1st person changes his/her place with the remaining 9 seats the number of ways that 1st person can be seated is 9  

In 9 ways 10th will be able to sit on his/her original seat when the 1st person is seated in 2 to 9 seats i.e 7 seats      

Therefore,

The number of favorable outcomes that the 10th person will be able to seat in his/her original seat = 7  

From the above observations,

The probability that the 10th will be able to sit on his/her original seat

= 7 / 9

Help me out with this
elena55 [62]

Let's follow the transformations that happen to A, to get to A' and A''.

Point A is at (-5, -2)

It moves to (-5, 2) which is where A' is located. Note the x coordinate stays the same while the y coordinate flips from negative to positive. This must mean we applied a reflection over the x axis.

That rule in general is (x, y) \rightarrow (x,-y)

------------------------------------

Now compare A'(-5,2) and A''(1,4). We can shift A' 6 units to the right and then 2 units up so we move from A' to A''.

Algebraically this is stated as (x,y) \rightarrow (x+6, y+2)

Whatever the x coordinate is, add 6 to it. For the y coordinate, we add on 2.

Applying that rule to B'(-1,2) gets us to

(-1,2) \rightarrow (-1\textbf{+6}, 2\textbf{+2}) = (5,4)

which is the proper location of B''

The same applies to moving C' to C''

C' = (-5, 0) \rightarrow (-5\textbf{+6}, 0\textbf{+2}) = (1, 2) = C''

-------------------------------------------

In summary, we started off by reflecting over the x axis. Then we applied the translation rule of "shift to the right 6 units, shift up 2 units".

In terms of algebra, combining the rules (x,y) \rightarrow (x,-y) and (x,y) \rightarrow (x+6, y+2) will have us end up with (x,y) \rightarrow (x+6, -y+2)
