Point N is 3/4 of the distance from A to D. Where is point N?
1 answer:
Answer:
Point N will be located between 0 and -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
Points A and D are placed at (-4, 0) and (4, 0) on a number line.
We have to find the location of a point N which divides AD in the ratio of 3 : 4.
Coordinates of a point (x, y) which divides a segment with extreme ends at and
in the ratio of m : n is given by,
x =
y =
By this formula, coordinates of the point N will be,
x =
x =
y = 0
Therefore, coordinates of the point N are .
Point N will be located between 0 and -1.

The "explanation" for the problem has a typo in it. There are 11 possible ice cream/yogurt flavors to choose from, regardless of whether any are low-fat, so the total number of ways of choosing any 2 from the selection is
In particular we want to count the number of ways of picking 1 ice cream and 1 yogurt flavor from the low-fat variety. There are 6 total choices that are not low-fat of which we choose 0, 3 choices of low-fat ice cream of which we choose 1, and 2 choices of low-fat yogurt of which we also choose 1. In terms of the binomial coefficient, this is
So the probability of getting such a combination is
