To answer this question, we need to find the winning probability in either case.

Probability = no. of outcomes / total no. of possible outcomes

<u>When Hope pulled her defender :</u>

Total no. of games = 9

No. of games won = 3

Winning probability = 3/9 =1/3

<u>When Hope left her defender :</u>

Total no. of games = 10

No. of games won = 6

Winning probability = 6/10 = 3/5

We know that , 1/3 < 3/5.

So, Hope should not pull her defender, as the winning probability is better when Hope left her defender.

Answer : A. Hope should not pull her defender.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option: A is the correct answer.

                  Hope should not pull her defender.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

<u>When Hope has pulled her defender:</u>

The team has lost 4 times, tied 2 times, and won 3 times.

Hence, the total number of times she meets her goal is:

                           6 times

(Since the goal is to either tie or win the game )

Hence, the probability that she meets her goal is:

                               6/9=2/3=0.66

<u> When she has left her defender in the game:</u>

         The team has lost 1 time, tied 3 times, and won 6 times.

Hence, the total number of times she meets her goal is:

                                    9

Hence, the probability that she meets her goal is:

                               9/10=0.9

As the probability of meeting her goal is more when she left her defender in the game is more.

          Hence, Hope should not pull her defender.

Do ΔCBG and ΔFEG in the figure appear to be similar? Why or why not?
Mama L [17]

Answer: Option C. They're not similar because only one pair of corresponding angles in the two triangles is congruent.

Solution:

The only one pair of corresponding angles in the two triangles is congruent is the angle BGC in ΔCBG and the angle FGE in ΔFEG, because they are vertical angles (opposite by the vertex)
