The given endpoints are A (-1, 2) and B (7, 8).

Let the coordinates of P be (x,y)
Because AP:PB = 1:3, therefore
\frac{x-(-1)}{7-x} = \frac{1}{3}
Cross multiply.
3(x+1) = 7 - x
3x + 3 = 7 - x
4x = 4
x = 1

Also,
\frac{y-2}{8-y} = \frac{1}{3}
Cross multiply.
3(y - 2) = 8 - y
3y - 6 = 8 - y
4y = 14
y = 7/2

Answer:
The coordinates of P are (1, 7/2)

Researchers at a pharmaceutical company have found that the effective time duration of a safe dosage of pain relief drug is norm
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a) P(1

b) P(X

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the duration of a safe dosage of pain relief drug, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(1.5,0.8)  

Where \mu=1.5 and \sigma=0.8

We are interested on this probability

P(1

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(1

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(-0.625

And in order to find these probabilities we can find tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-0.625

3) Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability on this way:

P(z

Evaluate the expression for<br> x = 6, y = -10:<br> 3x - 7y
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

88

Step-by-step explanation:

hello,

we need to replace x by 6 and y by -10 so it comes

3*(6)-7*(-10)

= 18 + 70 = 88

hope this helps
