Statement 1: WXYZ is a kite
Reason 1: Given
Statement 2: WX = XY and WZ = YZ
Reason 2: Definition of a kite
Statement 3: XZ = XZ
Reason 3: Reflexive property
Statement 4: Triangle WXZ = Triangle YXZ
Reason 4: SSS Congruence
Statement 5: Angle W = Angle Y
Reason 5: CPCTC
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extra notes:
* A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. In this case, WX and XY is one pair of congruent sides that are adjacent (ie next to each other). So that's why WX = XY. Similarly, WZ = YZ is the second pair of adjacent congruent sides.
* Draw in a segment from point X to point Z to help form two triangles. The two triangles are congruent as proven in statement 4. One triangle is a reflection over the line XZ to get the other triangle.
* Due to this reflection, angle W reflects over line XZ to get angle Y. Proving that angle W = angle Y
* SSS means "side side side", basically saying "you use three pairs of congruent sides to prove two triangles congruent".
* The acronym CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent"
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.
64=-4+4x
64+4=4x
68=4x
68/4=x
17=x
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
29=7x + 5 -4x
add like terms: 29 = 3x +5
get your x variable on one side
24 = 3x
divide by 3
x = 8
check!
29 = 7(8) + 5 -4(8)
29 = 56 + 5 -32
29 = 51 - 32
29 = 29
