Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

When two lines whose scopes are m₁ and m₂ are perpendicular, then the product of the scopes of both lines is -1.

Therefore,

If m₁ is the scope of line a and m₂ is the scope of line b then,

m₁m₂ = -1 and m₁ = -2

-2m₂ = -1

m₂ = -1/-2 = 1/2

The slope of line b is 1/2.

b= 1/2

perpendicular slopes are those that are opposite signs and reciprocal of the original given slope

Natali [406]

The value of the composite function (f - g)(x) is 5x - 25

<h3>How to determine the function (f - g)(x)?</h3>

The function definitions are given as:

f(x) = 15x + 25

g(x) = 10x + 50

The function (f - g)(x) is calculated using

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

This gives

(f - g)(x) = 15x + 25 - 10x - 50

Evaluate the like terms

(f - g)(x) = 5x - 25

Hence, the value of the composite function (f - g)(x) is 5x - 25

Cynthia was offered two different jobs for the summer. working as a camp counselor, she will earn $15 per hour plus an additional $25 bonus. her earnings after x hours can be represented by the function f(x) = 15x + 25. working as a lifeguard, Cynthia will earn $10 per hour and an additional $50 bonus. her earnings after x hours can be represented by the function g(x) = 10x + 50. the arithmetic operation (f - g)x can be used to determine the difference in the salary Cynthia will earn working as a camp counselor instead of a lifeguard after x hours. what is the function (f - g)x?

Describe the sampling distribution of p(hat). Assume the size of the population is 30,000.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) \mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}

b) \mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean \mu = 30,000

sample size n = 800

population proportion p = 0.6

a)

The mean of the the sampling distribution is equal to the population proportion.

\mu_ \hat p =  p

\mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}

b)

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution can be estimated by using the formula:

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(1-0.6)}{800}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(0.4)}{800}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.24}{800}}

\sigma_p = \sqrt{3 \times 10^{-4}}

\mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}

How to multiply a whole number by a fraction like 4/6 x 4 etc .​
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

See below, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

To multiply a whole number by a fraction, set up both numbers so that they have a numerator and denominator, multiply the corresponding parts, and simplify.

Ex: \frac{4}{6}*\frac{4}{1}. Both of them are in fraction form, right? Now multiply the numerator and denominator together. Doing this, you get 16/6. Now simplify. Look for a common factor between both the numerator and denominator. We can see that one common factor is 2. So, our simplified fraction is 8/3.

Hope this helped!
