What is the slope of the line through the points (2, 10) and (5, 8)?

The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the one y portion of the line by one x portion of the line. In this problem we have two points which can indicate us one portion of the y axis and one portion of the x axis. If we have two points of one line, then we can calculate its slope:
Point one (x1, y1)
Point two (x2, y2)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

So lets use our data:
Point one (2, 10)
Point two (5, 8)
then the slope can be calculated as:
m = (8 - 10)/(5 - 2<span>)
</span>m = -2/3
therefore the slope is negative and is -2/3

The defect length of a corrosion defect in a pressurized steel pipe is normally distributed with mean value 28 mm and standard d
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

14.69% probability that defect length is at most 20 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this question, we have that:

\mu = 28, \sigma = 7.6

What is the probability that defect length is at most 20 mm

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 20. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{20 - 28}{7.6}

Z = -1.05

Z = -1.05 has a pvalue of 0.1469

14.69% probability that defect length is at most 20 mm
