7 0

Hello :
the center of this cercle is : O( 0, 0)
calculate the slope m of the line : OA .. A (3,-4)
m= (yA - yO) / (xA- xO)
m = (-4-0)/(3-0)
m= -4/3
if : k the slope of the tangent : k×m = -1 (the tangent perpendiclar of : OA)
k× (-4/3) = -1
k = 3/4
an equation of this tangent is : y - (-4) = (3/4)(x-3)

Describe the difference between a probability derived from the analytic view (logical analysis), the Relative Frequency view (sa

oee [108]

Answer:

See the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2>Analytic View:</h2>

If and event can occur in A number of way and fail in B number of ways, then probability of its occurrence is:

$P(A)= \frac{A}{A+B}$

or probability of its failing is:

$P(B)=\frac{B}{A+B}$

<h3>Example:</h3>

Rolling a number smaller than 3 in a dice.

A= 2 (1,2)

B = 4 (3,4,5,6)

$P(A)= \frac{2}{2+4}=\frac{1}{3}$

<h2>Relative Frequency View:</h2>

Definition of Probability in terms of past performances (data). It can be taken as how often things happens divided by all outcomes.

<h3>Example:</h3>

A batter has 50 safe hits at 200 bats, which makes his batting average $\frac{50}{200}= 0.25$ which is the probability.

<h2>Subjective View:</h2>

When you define a probability due to personel beleif in the likelihood of an outcome. It involve no formal calculations and varies from person to person, depending on their past experience.

<h3>Example:</h3>

A person beleives that probability that the batter will hit safely in the next bat is 0.75

What is the solution to the system of equations?

White raven [17]

Equation A find “m” and “b”:
“B” is the y-intercept when x = 0. They give this in the table as “-2” so b = -2
Find slope (m) = (-8)-(-2)/(-2)-0 = 3
Equation A is y = 3x - 2 (y = mx + b)
Equation B find “m” and “b”:
Find m = (-9)-(-5)/(-3)-(-1) = 2
To find be, plug in m, x, and y from ANY coordinates in table b into y = mx + b:
-9 = 2(-3) + b
-9 = -6 + b
b = -3
Equation b is y = 2x -3
Use substitution and substitute all of equation “b” for “y” in equation a:
2x - 3 = 3x - 2
Algebra: x = -1
Plug back into equation a:
y = 3(-1) -2
y = -5
x = -1
(-1, -5) final answer (B)
