The equation of the line will be equal to 3y = -x + 21.

A line may be defined as the straight figure drawn which has no end points. The equation of a line can be written in slope intercept form as y = mx + c where m is the slope of line, c is y intercept an x and y are independent and dependent variables. If a point (x₁, y₁) is given then equation of line is (y - y₁) = m (x - x₁). The slope of line which is perpendicular to a given line having slope m is equal to -1/m.

Now, equation of line is y = 3x + 3. If we compare with slope intercept form then, m = 3. Now, slope of line perpendicular to this line is equal to -1/3. Now, equation of line passing through point (-6, 9) is given as

(y - 9) = -1/3 (x + 6)

3y - 27 = -x - 6

=> 3y = -x + 21 which is the required equation of line.

Apple weights are normally distriuted with a mean 0.33 pounds and and standard deviation of 0.06 pounds. Jermaine went to the st

maksim [4K]

Using the normal distribution, it is found that 10.56% of the apples weigh less than Jermaine's apple.

--------------------

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

It measures how many standard deviations the measure X is from the mean.
After finding the z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score, which is the percentile of X, that is, the proportion of measures that are less than X.

In this problem:

Mean of 0.33 pounds, thus $\mu = 0.33$ .
Standard deviation of 0.06 pounds, thus $\sigma = 0.06$ .
The proportion that is less than 0.25 pounds is the p-value of Z when X = 0.25, thus:
