Answer:

m = - 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When two line is perpendicular to each other the product of them is - 1

So let the other line be B

Gradient of B = t

Gradient of A = 4

$t \times 4 = - 1 \\ t = - \frac{1}{4}$

therefore m = - 1/4

When a number x is divided by 24 the remainder is 23 and when it is divided by 36 the remainder is 35. Find the least number tha

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

7 is the answer. If a number can be divided by 36 then it can also be divided by 12 which is 3*12 therefor the remainder will be 19-12 which is 7. When 19 is divided by 36, the remainder is 19 and so 19 must be a number. When 19 is divided by 12 the remainder is 7.

The amount of time required for an oil and filter change on an automobile is normally distributed with a mean of 45 minutes and

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

$P(39 < X < 48 ) = 0.8767$

95% of all sample means will fall between $40.1 < \mu < 49.9$

$\= x = 41. 795$

$n = 25$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mean is $n = 45$

The population standard deviation is $\sigma = 10$

The sample size is n = 16

Generally the standard error of the mean is mathematically represented as

$\sigma_{x} = \frac{ \sigma}{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = \frac{ 10 }{\sqrt{16 } }$

=> $\sigma_{x} = 2.5$

Generally the probability that the sample mean will be between 39 and 48 minutes is

$P(39 < X < 48 ) = P( \frac{ 39 - 45}{ 2.5} < \frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{ 48 - 45}{ 2.5} )$

=> $P(39 < X < 48 ) = P(-2.4 < Z< 1.2 )$

=> $P(39 < X < 48 ) = P( Z< 1.2 ) - P(Z < -2.4)$

From the z table the area under the normal curve to the left corresponding to 1.2 and -2.4 is

=> $P( Z< 1.2 ) = 0.88493$

and

$P( Z< - 2.4 ) = 0.0081975$

$P(39 < X < 48 ) = 0.88493 -0.0081975$

=> $P(39 < X < 48 ) = 0.8767$

From the question we are told the confidence level is 95% , hence the level of significance is

$\alpha = (100 - 95 ) \%$

=> $\alpha = 0.05$

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value of is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

=> $E = 1.96 * 2.5$

=> $E =4.9$

Generally the 95% of all sample means will fall between

$\mu -E < and \mu +E$

=> $45 -4.9\ and \ 45 + 4.9$

Generally the value which 90% of sample means is greater than is mathematically represented

$P( \= X > \= x ) = 0.90$

=> $P( \= X > \= x ) = P( \frac{\= X - \mu }{ \sigma_x} > \frac{\= x -45 }{ 2.5} ) = 0.90$

=> $P( \= X > \= x ) = P( Z > z ) = 0.90$

Generally from the z-table the critical value of 0.90 is

$z = -1.282$

$\frac{\= x -45 }{ 2.5} = -1.282$

=> $\= x = 41. 795$

Considering question 2

Generally we are told that the standard deviation of the mean to be one fifth of the population standard deviation, this is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{1}{5} \sigma$

Generally the standard deviation of the sample mean is mathematically represented as

$s = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }$

=> $\frac{1}{5} \sigma = \frac{\sigma }{ \sqrt{n} }$

=> $n = 5^2$

=> $n = 25$

Answer:

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the arm span lengths of the students, clearly we can see that the most of the students have arm span length in the initial points of the length.

Median = Middle frequency of the data. Here, median will be the length in the middle.

Mode = Most frequently occurring number in the data. Here the mode will be the length which most of the students has.

Clearly, most of the student has the length in the initial inches while the median will be in the middle.

Hence, mode will be less than the median.
