To determine the probability that both people chosen are females, we will use the rule of multiplication. 
Let event A = the event that the first person chosen is female; and let B = the event that the second person is female. 
To start, it is given that there are 10 students, 5 of them are females.  Therefore, P(A) = 5/10
After the first selection, there are 9 students, 4 of them are females. Therefore, P(A|B) = 4/9
Based on the rule of multiplication:

P(A∩B) = P(A) * P(A|B)
P(A∩B) = (5/10) (4/9)
P(A∩B) = 20/90
P(A∩B) = 2/9

The probability that both people chosen are females is 2/9.

On a coordinate plane, a line has points (negative 2, negative 4) and (4, 2). Point P is at (0, 4). Which points lie on the line
NikAS [45]

Answer:

the correct options are:

(–1, 3),  (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a line passes through two points

A(-2, -4) and B(4, 2)

Another point P(0, 4)

To find:

Which points lie on the line that passes through P and is parallel to line AB ?

Solution:

First of all, let us the find the equation of the line which is parallel to AB and passes through point P.

Parallel lines have the same slope.

Slope of a line is given as:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\dfrac{2-(-4)}{4-(-2)} = 1

Now, using slope intercept form (y = mx+c) of a line, we can write the equation of line parallel to AB:

y =(1)x+c \Rightarrow y = x+c

Now, putting the point P(0,4) to find c:

4 = 0 +c \Rightarrow c = 4

So, the equation is \bold{y=x+4}

So, the coordinates given in the options which have value of y coordinate equal to 4 greater than x coordinate will be true.

So, the correct options are:

(–1, 3),  (–2, 2) and (–5, –1)

PLEASEEEEEE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE ASAP PLEASE AND THANK YOU
Artemon [7]

Answer:

x=9 and z=83

Step-by-step explanation:

First you subtract 97 from 180 because that gives you z because 180 is a flat angle and 83 plus 97 gives 180. For x the opposite angle is also 97 so you set the equation 5x + 52 = 180 and you solve for x to get the x value. Hope this helps :)
