Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+\dfrac{3}{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ 2x-y=5.\\\\\text{Convert to the slope-intercept form y = mx + b:}\\\\2x-y=5\qquad\text{subtract 2x from both sides}\\\\-y=-2x+5\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\y=2x-5\to m_1=2\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{2}.

\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=-\dfrac{1}{2}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(3,\ 0).\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=3,\ y=0:\\\\0=-\dfrac{1}{2}(3)+b\\\\0=-\dfrac{3}{2}+b\qquad\text{add}\ \dfrac{3}{2} \text{to both sides}\\\\b=\dfrac{3}{2}

Answer:

Prime.

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-7x+8\\

First let's multiply our outer coefficients in this case 1 and 8, so we have 1x8=8.  Now the point of this is to get the factors of 8 and see if we can get that middle term -7.  Factors of 8 are 1x8, 2x4 and that's it.  From there I notice that -8+1 = -7 and so:

x^2-7x+8 = x^2-8x+x+8 = x(x-8)+(x+8)

Notice that the (x-8) and (x+8) are not the same factors, therefore the factors are not any of those answer choices and so it's prime.  You can calculate the factors by using the quadratic formula, however I think that is beyond the scope of this question.

A statistics instructor believes that fewer than 20% of Evergreen Valley College (EVC) students attended the opening night midni
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n = 84

x = 11

So, \hat{p}=\dfrac{x}{n}=\dfrac{11}{84}=0.13

p = 0.20

So, hypothesis:

H_0:p=\hat{p}\\\\H_a:\hat{p}

so, test statistic value would be

z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\z=\dfrac{0.13-0.20}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times 0.8}{84}}}\\\\z=-1.604

At 1% level of significance, critical value would be

z= 2.58

Since 2.58>-1.604

So, We will accept the null hypothesis.

Hence, It is believed that exactly 20% of Evergreen Valley college students attended the opening night midnight showing of the latest harry potter movie.
