check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like, however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

$\bf e(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad f(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{0-2}{)}\implies \implies \cfrac{-2}{0+2}\implies \cfrac{-2}{2}\implies -1 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf d(\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad f(\stackrel{x_2}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{0}) \\\\\\ slope = m\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{)}{)}\implies \cfrac{0+1}{0+2}\implies \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill$

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope~of~ef}{-1\implies \cfrac{-1}{1}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{-1}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{1}{1}\implies 1}}$

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.

since proposition $p$ states that a number is greater than 25, if $p$ is true then the number must actually be greater than 25.

this implies that all possible options, except 24, can be accepted

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316

i found the life tables for the year 2012.

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001420

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001448

white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001005

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001037

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old.

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
