Answer: BC + CD = BD

Step-by-step explanation: The segment addition postulate tells you that when a segment is divided into two parts, the sum of the lengths of the first part of the divided segment and the second part of the divided segment will be equal to the length of the whole segment.

If point C divides segment BD into BC and CD, then the sum of those two segments will match the whole.

Answer:

$from \: the \: question \\ y =k x - - - (i)\\ where \: k \: is \: the \: constant \: of \: proportionality \\ for \: the \: point \: given \\ y = 12 \: and \: x = 4 \\ from \: (i) \\ 12 = (k \times 4) \\ k = \frac{12}{4} \\ k = 3 \\ substitute \: for \: k \: in \: (i) \\ y = 3x$

Givin P(X)=0.35, P(Y)=0.45, and P(Y|X)=0.25, what are P(X and Y) and P(X or Y)

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

$P(Y|X)=\frac{P(Y\cap X)}{P(Y)} \\ P(Y\cap X) = P(Y)P(Y|X) \\ = 0.45 \times 0.25 \\ \boxed{P(Y\cap X) =0.1125} \\ P(Y\cup X) = P(Y) + P( X) - P(Y\cap X) \\ = 0.45 + 0.35 - 0.1125 \\ \boxed{P(Y\cup X) =0.6875}$

Answer:

Betsy's calculations in Step 1 are correct because (8 + 18) gives 26. Betsy's calculations in Step 2 are incorrect because $3^4$ doesn't give 12. If Betsy reaches her goal each year, she will have 2,106 customers 4 years from now.
