an ant starts from the origin (0, 0) of an xy-grid. each time it moves, it goes either up (50% chance) or right (50% chance) by one unit of distance. after 12 moves, what is the probability that the ant is located at the point (4, 8)?
The given ant can only go up or right here in every turn and as there is a 50% chance for either of
them, therefore each of the paths in 12 moves would be equally likely here.
As for each of the 12 steps here, there are 2 ways that the ant can move, therefore total number of
paths in 12 moves is computed as:
= 2^12 here.
We use the multiplication rule for independent events here to get the total number of outcomes here
by getting the product of the number of outcomes for each of those independent events.
Total number of 12 move paths such that we reach 4, 8 here is computed as the number of
permutation of 12 moves with 4 rights and 8 up points here. This is computed here as:
12!/(8!4!) = 495
Therefore, the probability that the ant is located at (4, 8) here is computed as:
=
495/(2^12)
= 0.1208
Therefore, 0.1208 is the required probability here

Find the distance between y=1/2x+2 and x-2y=6
Show work and give exact distance
The distance between these two lines y=1/2x+2 and x-2y=6 is 10/√5
Distance between two lines:
We know that, the parallel lines can be extended till infinity. The slopes of two parallel lines are equal.
Distance d between two parallel lines
y = mx + c1 and
y = mx + c2 is calculated by the
d = |C1–C2|/√(A² + B²)
Given,
Here we have the two line equation they are,
y=1/2x+2 and x-2y=6
And we need to find the distance between them.
To find the distance between the lines, then we ahve to make the equation into standard form, that is,
y = mx + c
Here the first equation is in standard form, so we have to convert the second one,
So, the second equation is written as,
x - 2y = 6
-2y = 6 - x
y = (6 - x)/-2
y = -3 + 1/2 x
y = 1/2 x - 3
Now, we have to derive the value of the following from the given equation, then we get,
Slopes are same m1 = m2 = 1/2 and c1 = 2 ,c2 = -3.
here a = 1/2, b = -1
Now, apply the values on the formula, then we get,
d = |2 - (-3)|/√(1/2)² + (-1)²
d = 5/√1/4 +1
d = 5/√5/4
d = 5/√5/2
d = 10/√5
Therefore, the distance between these two equation is 10/√5.

The image and preimage coincide when reflecting a figure in a line or a point. Every point of a figure is translated to an image across a fixed line via a reflection. The fixed line is referred to as the reflection line
Explain about line of reflection?An image can be produced by the reflection of a shape along a line of reflection. The mirror line is another name for the reflection line.
Reflections move each shape's points down a line known as the line of reflection (sometimes informally called the mirror line). The distance between a point and its matching point in the image is the same.
Consider the case when the point (6, 7) is reflected across the line y = x. The reflected point's coordinates are (7, 6). Similar to reflections across
y = -x, reflections across y = -x involve not only reversing the order of the coordinates but also their signs. For instance, when reflected over the line y = -x, (8, -2) becomes (2, -8)

A 8 letter Code word is selected. What is the probability that there are no repeated letters?
Answer:
0.3016
Step-by-step explanation:
If we have an 8 letter code word...
Total number of possible letters = 26
The number of letters possible = 8
So...
26 ^ 8 = 0.3016
Hope this helps!
Answer:
[tex]\approx 0.30164[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The Alphabet contains 26 characters, and to better understand this probability, let's do each letter one step at a time.
Any letter being chosen should have an equal probability of: [tex]\frac{1}{26}[/tex], and for the first letter we don't really have to worry about choosing a non-repeated letter, since it's impossible to have a non-repeated letter on the first letter... since it's the first letter, so no other letter has been chosen.
This means we have a probability of: 1 to get a non-repeated letter when we choose the first letter.
The probability when we choose the 2nd letter is different, since there is a possibility of choosing a repeated letter. As stated above, the probability of choosing any one letter should be equal for each letter and is: [tex]\frac{1}{26}[/tex]
Since we want to avoid this one letter we choose in the beginning, the probability of choosing it is: [tex]\frac{1}{26}[/tex], which means the probability of not choosing it is: [tex]\frac{25}{26}[/tex]
For the 3rd letter it follows the same pattern, assuming we have two non-repeated letters, the probability of choosing a repeated letter from the previous two is there combined probabilities of: [tex]\frac{1}{26} + \frac{1}{26} = \frac{2}{26}[/tex]. Since we want a non-repeated letter, we subtract this probability from one, because the entire probability will equal one.
This gives us a probability of: [tex]\frac{24}{26}[/tex] of choosing a non-repeated letter.
You'll notice a pattern, the numerator is decreasing by one! This makes sense since each time we choose a non-repeated letter, well the number of non-repeated letters will decrease by one.
This gives us the probability for each letter up to eight letters
[tex]\frac{26}{26}, \frac{25}{26}, \frac{24}{26}, \frac{23}{26}, \frac{22}{26}, \frac{21}{26}, \frac{20}{26}, \frac{19}{26}[/tex]
To get an eight letter code that has no no repeated letters, all these events have to occur. To find the collective probabilities of all these events happening, we simply multiply them, assuming they're independent which we have no reason to believe they aren't independent.
This gives us a total probability of approximately: [tex]0.30164[/tex]

Using linear functions, it is found that:
The costs will be the same when 5 GB are used.If company A changes the cost of data per gigabyte to $8 then the two phone plans will never have the same cost.If company B's initial monthly cost decreases by $10 and the cost of increases by $2, then the cost of the two phone plans will always be the sameWhat is a linear function?A linear function is modeled as follows:
y = mx + b.
In which the parameters of the function are as follows:
m is the slope.b is the y-intercept.For the cost functions in this problem, we have that:
The slope is the cost per GB.The intercept is the flat cost.Hence the functions are given as follows:
A(x) = 50 + 10x.B(x) = 60 + 8x.The costs will be the same when:
A(x) = B(x)
Hence:
50 + 10x = 60 + 8x
2x = 10
x = 5 GB are used.
If two functions have the same slope and different intercept they are parallel, that is, they never intersect, hence if company A starts charging $8 per GB, this will happen.
The costs will always be the same when the functions are equal, that is, if:
B(x) = A(x) = 50 + 10x.

For the given question, the line AC and DF are found to be parallel lines.
What is defined as the parallel lines?Parallel lines are two or more lines which lie within the same plane but never intersect.
The basic properties listed below make it simple to identify parallel lines.
Parallel lines are defined as straight lines which are everytime the same distance apart.Parallel lines, no matter how far they are extended for either direction, never meet.For the given parts:
Part 19: Line AC || Line DF
57° + ∠B = 180° (linear pair)
∠B = 123°
∠B = 123° (corresponding angles are equal)
Thus, Line AC || Line DF
Part 20: Line AC || Line DF
∠B = 143° (vertically opposite angles)
Then, ∠B + 37° = 143° + 37° = 180° (linear pair)
Thus, Line AC || Line DF
Part 21: Line AC || Line DF
62° + ∠B = 180° (linear pair)
∠B = 118°
And, ∠E = 62° (alternate interior angles)
So, ∠B + ∠E = 118° + 62° = 180° (linear pair)
Thus, Line AC || Line DF
Part 22: Line AC || Line DF
∠B = 180° - 115° = 65°
∠B = 65° (alternate interior angles)
Thus, Line AC || Line DF

Answer: by gamelover
commission of each accessory = $2
commission of each phone = $9
Given:
Commission on 18 phones and 21 accessories = $204 commission on 6 phones and 14 accessories = $82.
To find:
the price of each phone and the price of each accessory.
Solution:
let the commission of each phone be P and the accessory be A.
according to the question,
18P + 21A = 204
6P + 7 A = 68 -----i
6P + 14 A = 82 ------ii
by substitution of i in equation ii,
68 - 7A + 14A = 82
7A = 14
A = 2
commission of each accessory = $2
to find the commission on each phone:
6P + 7 x 2 = 68
6P = 54
P= 9
commission of each phone = $9

Jonny, Becky and Sara share £138.
The ratio of the amount of money Jonny gets to
the amount of money Sara gets is 1:4.
Jonny gets £69 less than Sara gets.
What percentage of the £138 does Becky get?
If Johny receives £x, then Sara will receive £4x (Given ratio is 1:4).
Describe ratio.In mathematics, a ratio shows how many times one number is contained in another.
For instance, if there are eight oranges and six lemons in a fruit plate, the orange to lemon ratio is eight to six (that is, 8:6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4:3).
Similarly, the ratio of oranges to total fruit is 8:14, while the ratio of lemons to oranges is 6:8 (or 3:4). (or 4:7). Numbers in a ratio can represent any quantity, including counts of people or objects, weights, lengths, times, and so on. Most of the time, both numbers have to be positive.
If Johny receives £x, then Sara will receive £4x (Given ratio is 1:4).
assumable, 4x - x = £69
or, 3x = 69
or, x = 69/3 = £21
Then Johny receives £21 and Sara receives £84 (4x£21).
Becky receives £(138-(21+84)) = £33 as well.
Her proportion in the ratio is equal to (33/138) x 100% (23.91%).

The domain and range of f(x) = |x| are Domain: (–∞, ∞ ) ; Range: [0, ∞)
f(x) = |x| is the absolute value function.
It always gives non-negative function values.
The absolute value function is defined as,
|x| = { x ; if x ≥ 0
{ -x ; if x < 0
So this definition says that if x is a non-negative real number, then the function gives the non-negative value itself.
Also if x is a negative real number, then -x is a positive real number which is the outcome from the absolute value function for negative real numbers.
This function is defined for all real numbers. Hence the domain is all the real numbers which is (–∞, ∞ ).
But the range of the function are only non-negative real numbers as absolute value function gives only non-negative values. So the range is [0, ∞).

y is inversely proportional to x.

Work out x when y = 24
The most appropriate choice for proportionality will be given by
When y = 24, x = 10
What is proportionality?
Any relationship which maintains the same ratio is known as proportionality.
Proportionality can be of two types-
Direct Proportion and inverse proportion
Direct proportion
Two quantities are said to be directly proportional, if on increasing the value of one quantity, the value of other quantity also increases and vice versa
For Example- Cost of a commodity and quantity of a commodity are direct proportional.
Inverse proportion
Two quantities are said to be inversely proportion, if on increasing the value of one quantity, the value of other quantity decreases.
For Example- Number of men and time taken by those men to do a certain work are inversely proportional.
Here,
y is inversely proportional to x
[tex]y = k \times \frac{1}{x}[/tex], where [tex]k[/tex] is an arbitrary constant known as proportionality constant
when y = 80, x =3
Putting the value of y and x in the above equation,
[tex]80[/tex] = [tex]k \times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
[tex]k = 80 \times 3\\k = 240[/tex]
So [tex]y = 240 \times \frac{1}{x}[/tex]
when [tex]y = 24[/tex]
[tex]24 = 240 \times \frac{1}{x}[/tex]
