Answer: 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, Total ticket = 2000

According to the question, ticket bought by Neil's group = 10 × 10= 100 ( because there are 10 person in group and each bought 10 tickets)

Therefore, Probability that Neil's group won the prize, P(G) = 100/2,000= 1/20

Now, The probability that Neil and group won,  P( N\cap G)=\frac{10}{2000}

Thus, the probability that Neil won when it is found that Neil's group won,

P(N/G)= \frac{P( N\cap G)}{P(G)}= \frac{10/2000}{1/20}= 1/10

Thus, P(N/G)= 1/10

The answer is 1/10 or 10%.

The solution is as follows:
The probability of Neil's group winning is 100/2000 or 1/20
The probability o Neil winning is 10/2000 or 1/200
The probability that Neil is the winner inside his group after being announced his group won is 10/100 or 1/10.

Find slope of line A:

<span>5x + 8y = -9
8y = -5x - 9
y = (-5/8)x - 9/8

The slope of line A is -5/8.

If </span><span>Line B is perpendicular to line A, then

slope Line B = negative reciprocal of slope Line A</span>
<span>slope Line B = 8/5

So like B has the equation

y = (8/5)x + b

If it passes through (10,10), we know that when x = 10, y = 10. Use those values to solve for b:
</span>
<span>y = (8/5)x + b
10 = (8/5)·10 + b</span>
<span>10 = (8)·2 + b
10 = 16 + b
b = -6

So line B has equation </span>
<span>y = (8/5)x - 6

m = 8/5 and b = -6

so

m + b = 8/5 - 6 = 8/5 - 30/5 = -22/5

So m+b = -22/5 or -4.4 in decimal form
