Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

A club consists of 21 Republicans and 25 Democrats. If four people are chosen at random to be on a​ committee, what is the proba
Allushta [10]

Answer:

88.58% probability that at least one person from each political party will be​ chosen

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

Also, the order which the people are chosen is not important. So the combinations formula is used to solve this problem.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

If four people are chosen at random to be on a​ committee, what is the probability that at least one person from each political party will be​ chosen?

Either only Republicans or Democrats are chosen, or at least one member from each party is chosen. The sum of these probabilities is 100%.

The easier way to solve this is first finding the probability that members are only from one party.

Probability of having members from only one party:

Desired outcomes:

Only Democrats:

4 from a set of 25.

Only Republican:

4 from a set of 21.

So

D = C_{25,4} + C_{21,4} = \frac{25!}{4!21!} + \frac{21!}{4!17!} = 18635

Total outcomes:

4 from 21+25 = 46 total members

T = C_{46,4} = \frac{46!}{4!42!} = 163185

Probability:

p = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{18635}{163185} = 0.1142

11.42% probability of having people from only one party in the committee

Probability of at least one person from each party:

p + 11.42 = 100

p = 88.58

88.58% probability that at least one person from each political party will be​ chosen
