The NBA is looking to expand to another city. In order to decide which city will receive a new team, the commissioner interviews potential owners from each of the N potential cities (N is a positive integer), one at a time. Unfortunately, the owners would like to know immediately after the interview whether their city will receive the team or not. The commissioner decides to use the following strategy: she will interview the first m owners and reject all of them (m € {1,...,N}). After the mth owner is interviewed, s/he will pick the first city that is better than all previous cities. The cities are interviewed in a uniformly random order. Required:
What is the probability that the best city is selected? Assume that the commissioner has an objective method of scoring each city and that each city receives a unique score.

u bout ugly as   a mf

step-by-step explanation: lol

part a: triangles gcb and epb

part b. sides cg and rp are parallel by definition of parallelogram.

angles cgb and e are congruent by being alternate interior angles of parallel lines cut by a transversal. angles gbc and ebp are congruent because they are vertical angles. by aa similarity, the triangles are similar.

part c. since the triangles are similar, the ratios of the lengths of corresponding sides are equal.

calculation of be:

gb/be = cb/bp

(400 ft)/be = 300/200

(400 ft)/be = 3/2

3be = 2 * 400 ft

3be = 800 ft

be = 800/3 ft

calculation of pe:

gc/pe = cb/bp

(350 ft)/pe = 300/200

(350 ft)/pe = 3/2

3pe = 2 * 350 ft

3pe = 700 ft

pe = 700/3 ft

b) yes

step-by-step explanation:

let the statements be named as,

statement 1: if the power has been cut, then the refrigerator does not work.

statement 2: the refrigerator does not work.

conclusion: the power has been cut

now, 'law of detachment states that if we have the statements given as,

1. if p, then q.

2. p

then, we get the true statement or conclusion as q'.

thus, on comparing, we get that,

p: if the power has been cut.

q: the refrigerator does not work.

so, the argument is true by the law of detachment.
