Note that WXYZ has vertices W(-1, 2), X(-5, 7), y(-1, -2), and Z (3, -7).

svp [43]

a. Slope of WZ = -2.25; Slope of WX = 5

b. WZ = √97; WX = √41

c. WXYZ is not a <em>rectangle, rhombus, nor a square</em>. We can conclude that: <em>D. WXYZ is none of these</em>.

<h3>Slope of a Segment</h3>

Slope = change in y/change in x

Given:

W(-1, 2), X(-5, 7), Y(-1, -2), and Z (3, -7)

a. Slope of WZ and slope of WX:

Slope of WZ = (-7 - 2)/(3 -(-1)) = -2.25

Slope of WX = (7 - 2)/(-1 -(-1)) = 5

b. Use distance formula, $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$ , to find WZ and WX:

$WZ = \sqrt{(3 - (-1))^2 + (-7 - 2)^2}\\\\\mathbf{WZ = \sqrt{97} }$

$WX = \sqrt{(-5 -(-1))^2 + (7 - 2)^2}\\\\\mathbf{WX = \sqrt{41} }$

c. The quadrilateral WXYZ have adjacent sides that are not perpendicular to each other and have different slopes and different lengths, so therefore, WXYZ is not a rectangle, rhombus, nor a square. We can conclude that: <em>D. WXYZ is none of these</em>.

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacemen

mamaluj [8]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a)

The probability is : 1/2

(b)

The probability is : 1/2

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are written on slips of paper, and 2 slips are drawn at random one at a time without replacement.

The total combinations that are possible are:

(1,2) (1,3) (1,4) (1,5)

(2,1) (2,3) (2,4) (2,5)

(3,1) (3,2) (3,4) (3,5)

(4,1) (4,2) (4,3) (4,5)

(5,1) (5,2) (5,3) (5,4)

i.e. the total outcomes are : 20

(a)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 4.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 9.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

P(A|B)

We know that it could be calculated by using the formula:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\bigcap B)}{P(B)}$

Hence, based on the data we have:

$P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}$

( Since, out of a total of 20 outcomes there is just one outcome which comes in A∩B and it is: (4,5) )

and

$P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}$

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 9

(4,5) and (5,4) )

Hence, we have:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

(b)

Let A denote the event that the first number is 3.

and B denote the event that the sum is: 8.

Let P denote the probability of an event.

We are asked to find:

P(A|B)

Hence, based on the data we have:

$P(A\bigcap B)=\dfrac{1}{20}$

( since, the only outcome out of 20 outcomes is: (3,5) )

and

$P(B)=\dfrac{2}{20}$

( since, there are just two outcomes such that the sum is: 8

(3,5) and (5,3) )

Hence, we have:

$P(A|B)=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{20}}{\dfrac{2}{20}}\\\\i.e.\\\\P(A|B)=\dfrac{1}{2}$

The length of time a person takes to decide which shoes to purchase is normally distributed with a mean of 8.54 minutes and a st

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

0.0323 = 3.23%. Is unusual

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the normal distribution we can find z value with the mean and standard deviation as follows. x is the value we want to know its probability

z = (x - mean)/standard deviation

z = (5-8.54)/1.91

z = -1.85

Using z tables for normal distribution, for z = 1.85, we have an area under the curve of 0.9677. Since we want to know the probability for 5 minutes or less, we have to substract from

p = 1- 0.9677

p = 0.0323

An event with a probability less than 5% is considered unusual.

1. You are standing on top of a ridge using a clinometer trying to figure out how far your dog has wandered off in

olga_2 [115]

<u>Given:</u>

It is given that the ridge is 360 inches tall.

<u>Assumptions:</u>

Assume you are 170.1 cm tall which equals 67 inches tall, the height from your eye to the floor is $360+67 = 427$ inches.

The distance from your eye level to the bottom of the ridge is 427 inches.

Assume the angle A is 60°.

<u>To find the distance from you to your dog.</u>

<u>Solution:</u>

A right-angled triangle can be formed where the angle is 60°, the distance between you and the dog is the hypotenuse of the triangle and your height from the floor is the adjacent side of the triangle.

Assume the hypotenuse of the triangle measures x inches.

To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we determine the cos of the angle.

$cos \theta = \frac{adjacent side}{hypotenuse} .$

$cos A = \frac{427}{x} , x = \frac{427}{cos60} , cos60=0.5.$

$x=\frac{427}{0.5} = 854.$

So if the ridge is 360 inches tall and you are 67 inches tall and the angle A is 60°, the distance between your dog and you is 854 inches.
