The center of the circle is at P. 
The tangent EF is tangent to the circle at point G. So GP will be the radius of the circle. 

The slope of tangent EF = 7/9

The tangent of a circle is always perpendicular to the radius at the point where it touches the circle. So we can say that EF is perpendicular to GP.

The product of slopes of two perpendicular line is always equal to -1.

Slope of EF x Slope of GP = -1
So,

Slope of GP = - 1 / (Slope of EF)

Thus slope of GP = - 9/7

Samir is an expert marksman. When he takes aim at a particular target on the shooting range, there is a 0.950.950, point, 95 pro
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Step-by-step explanation:

For each target, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he hits it, or he does not. The probability of hitting a target is independent of other targets. So we use 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.

0.95 probaiblity of hitting a target

This means that p = 0.95

10 targets

This means that n = 10

What is the probability that he will miss at least one of them?

Either he hits all the targets, or he misses at least one of them. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 10) + P(X < 10) = 1

We want P(X < 10). So

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10)

In which

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

P(X = 10) = C_{10,10}.(0.95)^{10}.(0.05)^{0} = 0.5987

P(X < 10) = 1 - P(X = 10) = 1 - 0.5987 = 0.401

40.1% probability that he will miss at least one of them

Four members from a 45​-person committee are to be selected randomly to serve as​ chairperson, vice-chairperson,​ secretary, and
wariber [46]

Answer:

3575880

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use Permutation method,

nPr= \frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

Where n is the sample of size and r the combination considered, so

n=45\\r=4\\45P4= \frac{45!}{(45-4)!}\\45P4 = 3575880

There is 3575880 possibilities to make leadership structures in that committee
