Answer:
The probability is 0.0428
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's remember that the binomial distribution is given by the formula:
where k is the number of successes in n trials and p is the probability of success.
However, the problem tells us that when there isn't a number of trials fixed, we can use the geometric distribution and the formula for getting the first success on the xth trial becomes:
The problem asks us to find the probability of the first success on the 4th trial (given that the first subject to be a universal blood donor will be the fourth person selected)
Using this formula with the parameters given, we have:
p = 0.05
x = 4
Substituting these parameters in the formula and solving it, we get:
Therefore, the probability that the first subject to be a universal blood donor is the fourth person selected is 0.0428 or 4.28%
Answer:
Circumcenter =(-1,0)
Orthocenter =(2,-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Points A = (2,3), B = (-4,-3), C = (2,-3)
Formula used :
→Mid point of two points-
→Slope of two points -
→Perpendicular of a line =
Circumcenter- The point where the perpendicular bisectors of a triangle meets.
Orthocenter-The intersecting point for all the altitudes of the triangle.
To find out the circumcenter we have to solve any two bisector equations.
We solve for line AB and AC
So, mid point of AB =
Slope of AB =
Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.
So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = -1
Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) is,
(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))
y+x=-1………………(1)
Similarly, for AC
Mid point of AC =
Slope of AC =
Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.
So, the slope of the perpendicular bisector = 0
Equation of AC with slope 0 and the coordinates (2,0) is,
(y – 0) = 0(x – 2)
y=0 ………………(2)
By solving equation (1) and (2),
put y=0 in equation (1)
y+x=-1
0+x=-1
⇒x=-1
So the circumcenter(P)= (-1,0)
To find the orthocenter we solve the intersections of altitudes.
We solve for line AB and BC
So, mid point of AB =
Slope of AB =
Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.
So, the slope of CF = -1
Equation of AB with slope -1 and the coordinates (-1,0) gives equation CF
(y – 0) = -1(x – (-1))
y+x=-1………………(3)
Similarly, mid point of BC =
Slope of AB =
Slope of the bisector is the negative reciprocal of the given slope.
So, the slope of AD = 0
Equation of AB with slope 0 and the coordinates (-1,-3) gives equation AD
(y-(-3)) = 0(x – (-1))
y+3=0
y=-3………………(4)
Solve equation (3) and (4),
Put y=-3 in equation (3)
y+x=-1
-3+x=-1
x=2
Therefore, orthocenter(O)= (2,-3)
