Answer: OPTION A.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition:

- When you reflect a figure, you flip it over a line of reflection, then, both figures will be in opposite directions.

- The image (which is the reflection) and the pre-image will have the same shape ad size.

- If a figure is reflected over the y-axis, then the sign of the x-coordinate is changed.

Keeping the above on mind, you can conclude that when a triangle is reflected over the y-axis the coordinates of the vertices are afectted as following:

- The y-coordinate is not changed.

- The sign of the x-coordinate is changed.

Then:

$(x,y)$ → $(-x,y)$

A recent survey asked UF students if they had a job or not, and if they were underclassmen (Freshmen and Sophomores) or uppercla

Following the table and knowing that the total number of students interviewed were 158 ( we can see this by looking adding either the total number of upperclassment or adding the total number of people with jobs or no jobs, this value is at the bottom right of the table in the figure attached).
Recall that:
$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$
In the figure provided each of these terms is highlighted in a different color. To convert these values to their matching probabilities we have to divide each by the total number of students, this is due to the fact that the probability is the number of favorable cases (in this case a group matching the qualities we seek) divided by the total amount of cases ( that is the total number of people interviewed). In the figure the answer is provided. For the intersection of the two events we're looking for people that is both an undercalssman and also has a job.
