Answer:
65.52 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a rhombus is half the product of the diagonals.
A = (1/2)ab
A = (1/2)(12.6 ft)(10.4 ft) = 65.52 ft²
The area of the farm is 65.52 square feet.
A = event the person got the class they wanted
B = event the person is on the honor roll
P(A) = (number who got the class they wanted)/(number total)
P(A) = 379/500
P(A) = 0.758
There's a 75.8% chance someone will get the class they want
Let's see if being on the honor roll changes the probability we just found
So we want to compute P(A | B). If it is equal to P(A), then being on the honor roll does not change P(A).
---------------
A and B = someone got the class they want and they're on the honor roll
P(A and B) = 64/500
P(A and B) = 0.128
P(B) = 144/500
P(B) = 0.288
P(A | B) = P(A and B)/P(B)
P(A | B) = 0.128/0.288
P(A | B) = 0.44 approximately
This is what you have shown in your steps. This means if we know the person is on the honor roll, then they have a 44% chance of getting the class they want.
Those on the honor roll are at a disadvantage to getting their requested class. Perhaps the thinking is that the honor roll students can handle harder or less popular teachers.
Regardless of motivations, being on the honor roll changes the probability of getting the class you want. So Alex is correct in thinking the honor roll students have a disadvantage. Everything would be fair if P(A | B) = P(A) showing that events A and B are independent. That is not the case here so the events are linked somehow.
<h3>Answer: y = (3/2)x + 0</h3>
This is the same as y = (3/2)x
=============================================================
Work Shown:
Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (-2,-3) and (x2,y2) = (2,3)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (3 - (-3))/(2 - (-2))
m = (3 + 3)/(2 + 2)
m = 6/4
m = 3/2
The slope is the fraction 3/2. This is going to be in front of the x, or to the left of the x.
----------
Plug m = 3/2 and (x1,y1) = (-2,-3) into the point slope formula. Solve for y.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = (3/2)(x - (-2))
y + 3 = (3/2)(x + 2)
y + 3 = (3/2)x + (3/2)(2)
y + 3 = (3/2)*x + 3
y + 3 - 3 = (3/2)*x + 3 - 3
y = (3/2)x + 0
The y intercept is zero. This matches up with the fact the graph crosses the y axis at y = 0.
