Line E passes through the points (2, 3) and (4, -3). What is the slope of a line perpendicular to line E?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ 2 &,& 3~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ 4 &,& -3~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-3-3}{4-2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{2}\implies \cfrac{-3}{1}$

now, a line perpendicular to that one, will have a "negative reciprocal" slope, thus

$\bf \textit{perpendicular, negative-reciprocal slope for}\quad \cfrac{-3}{1}\\\\
negative\implies +\cfrac{3}{ 1}\qquad reciprocal\implies +\cfrac{ 1}{3}\implies \cfrac{1}{3}$

Answer:

<em>Probability ≈ 0.1071</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider steps below;

$Total Possible Outcomes - 8C5,\\\\8! / 5! ( 8 - 5 )!,\\1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 * 8 / ( 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 )( 1 * 2 * 3 ),\\\\6 * 7 * 8 / 6 = Combinations - 56,\\\\$

$Number Of Outcomes - 6C5,\\\\6! / 5! ( 6 - 5 )!,\\1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 * 6 / ( 1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5 ) ( 1 ),\\720 / 120 * 1,\\\\Outcomes - 6$

$Conclusion ; Solution - 6 / 56 = ( About ) 0.1071\\Hope That Helps!$

<em>Solution; Probability ≈ 0.1071</em>

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering

Alla [95]

Answer:

a) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To approximate this distribution we have to calculate the mean and the standard distribution.

The mean is the proportion p=0.85.

The standard deviation can be calculates as:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{100} }=0.04$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 100-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.04} =-1.75$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 100-question test is 4%.

b) In this case, the number of questions is 250, so the standard deviation needs to be calculated again:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }= \sqrt{\frac{0.85*(1-0.85)}{250} }=0.02$

To calculate the probability that Jodi scores 78% or less on a 250-question test, we first calculate the z-value:

$z=\frac{p-p_0}{\sigma} =\frac{0.78-0.85}{0.02} =-3.5$

The probability for this value of z is

$P(x$

The probability that Jodi scores 78% or lower on a 250-question test is 0.023%.

15 POINTS ITS MY TEST ALREADY MISSING PLEASE HELP ON THIS ONE

const2013 [10]

Melanie walked 2.2 miles. Cathy walked 1.75 times as far. This means that you need to do 2.2 * 1.75 which equals 3.85. To find how much further, do 3.85 - 2.2 which equals 1.65. Therefore Cathy walked 1.65 more miles than Melanie.

Corresponding solution for 3x-3(x+1)=3 plzzz answer quickly

Gekata [30.6K]

$3x - 3(x + 1) = 3 \\ = > - 3(x + 1) = 3 - 3x \\ = > - 3(x + 1) = - 3(1 + x) \\$

Hence,

$x$ is cutting each other in this equation.

So, $x$ can be of any value.i.e.,infinite.

Hope this will help you.
