Using the uniform distribution, it is found that there is a 0.3 = 30% probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus.

<h3>What is the uniform probability distribution?</h3>

It is a distribution with two bounds, a and b, in which each outcome is equally as likely.

The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

P(X < x) = \frac{x - a}{b - a}

In this problem, the time is uniformly distributed between 0 and 15 minutes, hence the bounds are a = 0 and b = 15.

The probability that Samantha has to wait less than 4.5 minutes to catch the bus is given by:

P(X < 4.5) = \frac{4.5 - 0}{15 - 0} = 0.3

Each package of pens contains 3 pens. How is the number of pens related to the number of packages?
yuradex [85]

Answer:  The correct option is (C) Packages x 3 = Pens

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that each package of pens contains 3 pens.

We are to choose the correct mathematical relation between number of pens and number of packages.

Let, n represents the number of pens and N represents the number of packages.

Then, according to the given information, we have

n\times 3=N\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{Packages}\times 3=\textup{Pens}.

Thus, the correct relation is

Packages x 3 = Pens.

Option (C) is CORRECT.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the point (-8, 2) and is perpendicular to the line y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

y = -5x/4 - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Two lines that are perpendicular have slopes that are opposite reciprocals.

Since the slope of the given line is 4/5, the opposite reciprocal of that is -5/4. So the equation has a slope of -5/4.

Since we know the coordinate of a point of the other equation, we can plug that into the point-slope form equation y - y1 = m(x - x1):

y - 2 = -5/4(x-(-8))

Simplify:

y - 2 = -5/4(x+8)

y - 2 = -5x/4 - 10

So the equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = -5x/4 - 8
