On a coordinates plane, a line passes through ( - 2 , 3 ) and ( 2 , 6 ). Which of the followings lies on the same line.

1 answer:

4 0

By direct comparison and definition of line segment we notice that the point (x, y) = (- 6, 0) lies on the line segment AB as each AP is a multiple of former. (Correct choice: C)

<h3>What point lies on a line segment?</h3>

According to linear algebra, a point lies in a line segment if its vector is a multiple of the vector that generates the line segment itself, that is:

AB = k · AP (1)

The vector that generates the line segment is:

AB = (2, 6) - (- 2, 3)

AB = (4, 3)

And the vectors related to each point are:

Case A

AP = (- 2, 12) - (- 2, 3)

AP = (0, 9)

Case B

AP = (6, 12) - (- 2, 3)

AP = (8, 9)

Case C

AP = (- 6, 0) - (- 2, 3)

AP = (- 4, - 3)

Case D

AP = (- 6, 6) - (- 2, 3)

AP = (- 4, 3)

Solve x+8y/4=9y for x

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

x = 7y

Step-by-step explanation:

x+8y/4=9y

Multiply each side by 4 to get rid of the fractions

4(x+8y/4)=9y*4

Distribute

4x +8y = 36y

Subtract 8y from each side

4x +8y-8y = 36y-8y

4x = 28y

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 28y/4

x = 7y

The number of people arriving at a ballpark is random, with a Poisson distributed arrival. If the mean number of arrivals is 10,

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

a) 3.47% probability that there will be exactly 15 arrivals.

b) 58.31% probability that there are no more than 10 arrivals.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

$\mu$ is the mean in the given time interval.

If the mean number of arrivals is 10

This means that $\mu = 10$

(a) that there will be exactly 15 arrivals?

This is P(X = 15). So

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 15) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{15}}{(15)!} = 0.0347$

3.47% probability that there will be exactly 15 arrivals.

(b) no more than 10 arrivals?

This is $P(X \leq 10)$

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10)$

$P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}$

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.000045$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.00045$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0023$

$P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.0076$

$P(X = 4) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{4}}{(4)!} = 0.0189$

$P(X = 5) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{5}}{(5)!} = 0.0378$

$P(X = 6) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{6}}{(6)!} = 0.0631$

$P(X = 7) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{7}}{(7)!} = 0.0901$

$P(X = 8) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{8}}{(8)!} = 0.1126$

$P(X = 9) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{9}}{(9)!} = 0.1251$

$P(X = 10) = \frac{e^{-10}*(10)^{10}}{(10)!} = 0.1251$

$P(X \leq 10) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) + P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) = 0.000045 + 0.00045 + 0.0023 + 0.0076 + 0.0189 + 0.0378 + 0.0631 + 0.0901 + 0.1126 + 0.1251 + 0.1251 = 0.5831$
