What is the slope of a line perpendicular to this line

Mathematics
1 answer:
Fynjy0 [20]4 years ago
4 0

The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is the opposite reciprocal of the slope of that line. Basically, the slopes of two perpendicular lines multiply to -1. The slope of this line is -1/5. To find the slope of a line perpendicular, we need to find out what number, multiplied by -1/5, would make -1. Or, we can take the opposite reciprocal (it's the same answer). This number is 5, so the slope of a line perpendicular to this line is 5.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

A) probability of failure in next 100 hours given that it has been tested for 500 hours without failure is 0.181

B) probability that exactly two have the metabolic defect is 0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

Let X be a exponentially random variable with mean = μ = 500 hrs

For exponential distribution:

p.d.f = f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}\\c.d.f = F(x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}\\x\geq 0

                                                         λ = 1/μ

                                                         λ = 0.002

We have to find the  probability of failure in the next 100 hours given that assembly has been tested for 500 hours without a failure.

Using memory less property of exponential distribution:

P(X500) = P (X

using

F(x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}\\ \lambda =.002\\x=100\\F(x) = 1- e^{-(.002)(100)}\\F(x) = 1-.8187\\F(x) = 0.181

<h3>Part B)</h3>

Chances of occurrence of metabolic defect = 5%

                                                                 P(C) = .05

No. of randomly selected infants  = n =6

We  have to find the probability that exactly two have the metabolic defect

                                                        ⇒x = 2

Using binomial probability density function:

                                        P = P=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}n\\x\end{array}\right] p^{x} (1-p) ^{n-x}\\\\=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!} p^{x} (1-p) ^{n-x}\\=\frac{6!}{2!4!}(.05)^{2}(.95)^{4}\\= 0.03\\

probability that exactly two have the metabolic defect is 0.03

Lizzy is working two jobs to make money for a new car. She works 15 hours a week and earns 93$. She makes 5$ for each hour she b
kirill115 [55]

She worked 9 hours at baby-sitting and 6 hours at her parents store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Baby-sitting hours = x

Hours at parents store = y

Total hours = 15

Amount earned = $93

According to given statement;

x+y=15   Eqn 1

5x+8y=93   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 5;

5(x+y=15)\\5x+5y=75\ \ \ Eqn 3\\

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

(5x+8y)-(5x+5y)=93-75\\5x+8y-5x-5y=18\\3y=18

Dividing both sides by 3;

\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{18}{3}\\y=6

Putting y=6 in Eqn 1

x+6=15\\x=15-6\\x=9

She worked 9 hours at baby-sitting and 6 hours at her parents store.

Listed below are the salaries, in $000, for a sample of 15 chief financial officers in the electronics industry.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a)

Mean = sum of all numbers in dataset / total number in dataset

Mean = 8130/15 = 542

Median:

The median is also the number that is halfway into the set.

For median, we need to sort the data and then find the middle number which in our case is 546. Below is the sorted data

486  516 523  523  529  534  538  546  548  551  552  558  566  574  586

Standard Deviation (SD).  Here X represents dataset and N= count of numbers in data

As per the SD formula, which is Sqrt ( sum (X_i - Meanx(X))/(N-1))

SD= 25.082

2) Formula for coefficient of skewness using Pearson's method (using median) is,

SK = 3* ( Mean (X) - Median(X))/(Standard Deviation) =  3*(542-546)/25.082 = -0.325

3) coefficient of skewness using the software method is also same which is -0.325
