Answer:

Let X be the number of times the target is hit. The probability P(X≥1) then equals 1 minus the probability of missing the target three times:

P(X≥1) = 1− (1−P(A)) (1−P(B)) (1−P(C))

           = 1−0.4*0.3*0.2

           = 0.976

To find the probability P(X≥2) of hitting the target at least twice, you can consider two cases: either two people hit the target and one does not, or all people hit the target. We find:

P(X≥2)=(0.4*0.7*0.8)+(0.6*0.3*0.8)+(0.6*0.7*0.2)+(0.6*0.7*0.8) = 0.788

Given the midpoint and one endpoint of a line segment, find the other endpoint.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points } \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{\frac{5}{8}}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{\frac{27}{8}})\qquad  (\stackrel{x_2}{x}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{y}) \qquad \left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right) \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{x+\frac{5}{8}}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{y+\frac{27}{8}}{2} \right)=\stackrel{midpoint}{\left( -\frac{7}{6}~~,~~-\frac{10}{3} \right)}

\bf -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{x+\frac{5}{8}}{2}=-\cfrac{7}{6}\implies  x+\cfrac{5}{8}=-\cfrac{14}{6}\implies x=-\cfrac{14}{6}-\cfrac{5}{8} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{-14(4)-5(3)}{24}\implies x=\cfrac{-56-15}{24}\implies \boxed{x=-\cfrac{71}{24}}\\\\ -------------------------------\\\\ \cfrac{y+\frac{27}{8}}{2}=-\cfrac{10}{3}\implies y+\cfrac{27}{8}=-\cfrac{20}{3}\implies y=-\cfrac{20}{3}-\cfrac{27}{8} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{-20(8)-27(3)}{24}\implies y=\cfrac{-160-81}{24}\implies \boxed{y=-\cfrac{241}{24}}

Determine if the equation is parallel, perpendicular, or neither;
USPshnik [31]
The equations are parallel because the slopes are opposite reciprocals, which means if you flip -3/2 and multiply by -1 you get 2/3.
