So hmm check the picture below, so the segment BZ is split in 6 pieces, 5 go to BH and HZ takes 1

\bf \left. \qquad  \right.\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
B(3, -1)\qquad Z(12,5)\qquad
ratio1=5\qquad ratio2=1\qquad 5:1
\\\\\\
\cfrac{BH}{HZ} = \cfrac{5}{1}\implies \cfrac{B}{Z} = \cfrac{5}{1}\implies 1\cdot B=5\cdot Z
\\\\\\
1(3,-1)=5(12,5)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf { H=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{ratio1+ratio2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{ratio1+ratio2}\right)}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
H=\left(\cfrac{(1\cdot 3)+(5\cdot 12)}{5+1}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(1\cdot -1)+(5\cdot 5)}{5+1}\right)

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the length of RT by using the Pythagorean theorem

sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin 60 = 2 sqrt(3)/ RT

Multiply each side by RT

RT sin 60 = 2 sqrt(3)

Divide by sin 60

RT = 2 sqrt(3)/ sin 60

RT = 4

Then

tan theta = opposite side/ adjacent side

tan 45 = x/RT

tan 45 = x/4

4 tan 45 = x

4 = x

Answer:

P(X = x) = C_{8,x}.(0.4)^{x}.(0.6)^{8-x}

In which x is the number of which we want to find the probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each traffic fatality, there are only two possible outcomes. EIther it involved an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant, or it didn't. Traffic fatalities are independent of other traffic fatalities, which means that the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

The probability is .40 that a traffic fatality involves an intoxication or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant.

This means that p = 0.4

Eight traffic fatalities

This means that n = 8

Find the probability that the number which involve an intoxicated or alcohol-impaired driver or nonoccupant is

This is P(X = x), in which x is the number of which we want to find the probability. So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = x) = C_{8,x}.(0.4)^{x}.(0.6)^{8-x}
