<em><u>Question:</u></em>

Point R divides in the ratio 1 : 3. If the x-coordinate of R is -1 and the x-coordinate of P is -3, what is the x-coordinate of Q?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

x-coordinate of Q is 5

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Point R divides in the ratio 1 : 3

Which means,

Point R divides the line segment PQ internally

The x-coordinate of the point which divides the line segment in ration m:n internally is given as:

x=(\frac{mx_{2}+nx_{1}}{m+n} )

Where,

x = x-coordinate of point dividing the segment R = -1

x_1 = x-coordinate of P = -3

x_2 = x-coordinate of Q = ?

m : n = 1 : 3

m = 1

n = 3

Therefore,

-1 = \frac{1 \times x_2 + 3 \times -3}{1+3}\\\\-1 = \frac{x_2 -9}{4}\\\\x_2 - 9 = -4\\\\x_2 = 9 - 4\\\\x_2 = 5

Thus x-coordinate of Q is 5

To solve this question, you would need to find the common denominator among the 2 fractions. In this case it would be

72.

Then multiply numbers to both of the fractions to get to the bottom number in both fractions equaling 72.

40/72 + 27/72 =67/72.

Try to reduce to lowest terms by dividing a common number from both of them if possible.

Compute the probability of event E if the odds in favor of E are (A) StartFraction 20 Over 27 EndFraction (B) StartFraction 25 O
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

A) 0.4255

B) 0.5813

C) 0.5588

D) 0.7241

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the probability for each case is the same, we can calculate the  probability by dividing the number of favourable cases with the total amount of cases. You can find the total amount of cases by adding the favourable ones with the non favourable ones, so, the probability of each case would be:

A) 20/(27+20) = 20/47 = 0.4255

B) 25/(18+25) =  25/43 = 0.5813

C) 19/(15+19) = 19/34 = 0.5588

D) 21((8+21) = 21/29 = 0.7241

Answer: Cluster sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

Cluster sampling is a type of sampling method . With cluster sampling, the observer splits the population into separate groups which are called as called clusters. After dividing the whole populations into clusters he select a simple random sample of clusters from the population. The observer conducts his analysis on data from the sampled clusters.

From the given statement we can see that the automobile is doing his analysis by selecting  three stores from each state (cluster) in the country  and surveys all customers present in the store in a certain week.

Hence, he used cluster sampling .
