Ok, so here:
Remember for basic probability, you have to do: Probability=Events/Possible outcomes. For multiple events, you have to multiply all together.

The probability the first guy that shows up will be 8/14, because out of the 14 people, 8 of them are men. This however isn't your answer, note the question says "Separately"
The probability the second person that comes in is a dude is 7/13, because you have the first guy already in, and only 13 left.
The third person to come in being a dude has a probability of 6/12
The fourth person to come in being a dude has a probability of 5/11

When you have multiple events, the way to solve probability is to find the chances of each as a fraction, then multiply them together.

8/14 * 7/13 * 6/12 * 5/11=1680/24024
1680/24024=168/168 (168 goes into both)
Your final answer is 10/143
~Hope this helps!

Quadrilateral ABCD is dilated by a scale factor of 1 over 3 centered around (1, 2).
Ostrovityanka [42]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  B'D' ║ BD and will be shorter than segment BD.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor of 1/3 means all image segments are 1/3 the length of the preimage segments (that is, <em>shorter</em>).

Image segments not on a line through point A(1, 2) will be parallel to the preimage segments.

For this dilation, ...

  segment B prime D prime will be parallel to segment BD and will be shorter than segment BD.

Which is the equation of a parabola with Vertex (0, 0) and directrix y = 4?
Luba_88 [7]
We know that

<span>Vertex (0, 0) and directrix y = 4

is a vertical parabola------> open down (directrix above the vertex)
the equation is of the form
(y-k)=4p(x-h)</span>²--------> y=4p*x²-------> vertex (0,0)

y=4
y=h-p-----> y=-p
p=-4

the equation of the parabola is
y=-16x²

the answer is
y=-16x²

see the attached figure
