It is a bit tedious to write 6 equations, but it is a straightforward process to substitute the given point values into the form provided.
For segment ab. (x1, y1) = (1, 1); (x2, y2) = (3, 4).
... x = 1 + t(3-1)
... y = 1 + t(4-1)
ab = {x=1+2t, y=1+3t}
For segment bc. (x1, y1) = (3, 4); (x2, y2) = (1, 7).
... x = 3 + t(1-3)
... y = 4 + t(7-4)
bc = {x=3-2t, y=4+3t}
For segment ca. (x1, y1) = (1, 7); (x2, y2) = (1, 1).
... x = 1 + t(1-1)
... y = 7 + t(1-7)
ca = {x=1, y=7-6t}
Answer:
a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each student, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are in favor of making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving a holiday, or they are against. This means that we can solve this problem using concepts of the binomial probability distribution.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
So, the binomial probability distribution has two parameters, n and p.
In this problem, we have that and
. So the parameter is
a. p = the population proportion of UF students who would support making the Tuesday before Thanksgiving break a holiday.
