Suppose that in an election for governor of Oregon there are five candidates of whom two are women. A statistics student reasons as follows: the probability that a woman will win the election is equal to 2/5.  What is wrong with this reasoning?

If in an Oregon state gubernatorial election, 2 of the 5 candidates are women, and a statistics student establishes that there is a 2/5 chance that the person elected for governor is a woman, this reasoning will be wrong.

This will be the case because not all candidates have the same amount of votes, that is, not all start with the same conditions: thus, there are more popular candidates than others, who will have greater probabilities of being elected as governors, regardless of their sexual identity.

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

sorry but i cant draw that
