Answer:

1)28.8%

2)28.8%

3)43.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

1))Probability of wining both = Probability that first contract is won* Probability that second contract is won = 0.4 * 0.72 = 0.288 = 28.8%

2)Probability of losing = 1 - Probability of winning

Probability that they will lose both contracts = Probability that first contract is lost * Probability that second contract is lost = (1 - 40/100) * (1 - 54/100) = 0.276 = 27.6%

3)Probability that any one is won = 1 - both contracts are won - both contracts are lost = 1 - 0.276 - 0.288 = 0.436 = 43.6%

a segment has and endpoint at (-6, 8). The midpoint is at (-6, 2). What are the coordinates of the other endpoint?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

(-6,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first endpoint of the line is (-6,8), we can call

x_1 = -6

and

y_1 = 8

Let the last endpoint have coordinates (x_2,y_2)

Also, the midpoint formula is:

(x_1+x_2)/2 , (y_1+y_2)/2

Now, plugging these values is the formula, we get:

(-6+x_2)/2 = -6

-6+x_2=-12

x_2=-12+6 = -6

x_2 = -6

Also

(8+y_2)/2=2

8+y_2=4

y_2=4-8=-4

y_2 = -4

The coordinates of the other endpoint is (-6,-4)
