4 0

Answer:

D. 0.002

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total number of sample, N = 500 elements

50 elements are to be drawn from this sample.

The probability of the first selection, out of the 50 elements to be drawn will be = 1 / total number of sample

The probability of the first selection = 1 / 500

The probability of the first selection = 0.002

Therefore, on the first selection, the probability of an element being selected is 0.002

The correct option is "D. 0.002"

A triangle has a perimeter of 25" the medium side is 4 More than the short side and the longest site is 5 times the length of th
Paul [167]

Answer:

The shortest side is 3”

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we can observe that we have 3 sides of a triangle which are not equal in length. These sides are the long, medium and short.

We now have some mathematical statements according to the question.

Since these statements are referencing the short side, let’s start from there.

Let the length of the short side be x. The medium side is 4” more than the short side. This means that the medium side will be the short side plus 4 which mathematically is (x + 4)“. Also, we know that the longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side. This is mathematically equal to 5x.

Lastly, we are made to know that the perimeter of the triangle is 25”. The perimeter of a triangle can be obtained by adding all the lengths together. This means that:

x + x +4 + 5x = 25

7x + 4 = 25

7x = 25 - 4

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3”

Please help.
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Parallel: a and b, p and q, p and r, q and r

PErpendicular: p&a, p&b, q&a, q&b, r&a, r&b

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope so both of the lines would be going in the same direction and will never cross each other.

Perpendicular lines cross at a 90 degree angle.

Technically you do not know if q&a and q&b are perpendicular because you do not know if there is a 90 degree angle
