Find the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A(-2,-4) to B(8,1) in the ratio of 2 to 3

zalisa [80]

We have that
A(-2,-4) B(8,1) 

let
M-------> the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3

we know that

A--------------M----------------------B
2 3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
so

step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2

step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2

the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)

see the attached figure

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00 degrees

lozanna [386]

Answer: 0.0035

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0 degrees C and a standard deviation of 1.00 degrees C.

i.e. $\mu=0$ and $\sigma= 1$

Let x denotes the readings on thermometers.

Then, the probability that a randomly selected thermometer reads greater than 2.17 will be :_

$P(X>2.7)=1-P(\xleq2.7)\\\\=1-P(\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}\leq\dfrac{2.7-0}{1})\\\\=1-P(z\leq2.7)\ \ [\because\ z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}]\\\\=1-0.9965\ \ [\text{By z-table}]\ \\\\=0.0035$
