Y=mx+b
m=slope
b=y intercept


perpendicuar lines have slopes that multiply to get -1
so
solving for y
add 4x both sides and divide by5 to get
y=4/5x+2
slope is 4/5


perpendicular means the slopes multiply to get -1
so
4/5 times what=-1?
what=-5/4

so
y=(-5/4)x+b
find b
given the point (-15,8)
8=(-5/4)(-15)+b
8=75/4+b
-43/4=b

y=(-5/4)x-43/4

A company produces steel rods. The lengths of the steel rods are normally distributed with a mean of 108.7-cm and a standard dev
Luden [163]

Let x be the lengths of the steel rods and X ~ N (108.7, 0.6)

To get the probability of less than 109.1 cm, the solution is computed by:


z (109.1) = (X-mean)/standard dev

= 109.1 – 108/ 0.6

= 1.1/0.6

=1.83333, look this up in the z table.


P(x < 109.1) = P(z < 1.8333) = 0.97 or 97%
