Approximately 9 out of every 50 people who saw a movie this week say they watched it on Netflix. Suppose we want to find the probability that a randomly selected movie-goer saw a movie on Netflix this weekend. Express that probability in three ways: As a fraction, a proportion, and a percentage.

Explanation:

1. As a fraction:

Depart from the definition of probability: probability is the number of favoragle outcomes divided by the total number of possible outcomes:

2. As a proportion:

A proportion is the equality of two ratios. In this case you must set the ratio of people who say they watched it on Netflx, x, per every people who saw a movie this week, 1, equal to the ration 9 /50.

Hence, the proportion that shows the probability is:

Where x is the probability.

3. As a percentage

You just have to multiply the probability by 100:

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
