Answer:
y = 0.25x - 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given line is 4x + y = 3
or y = -4x + 3
Comparing this with slope-intercept form y = mx + c :
slope of this line is -4
Product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1
⇒ slope of a line perpendicular to this is =
= 0.25
This line also passes through the point (-4,-6)
The equation of a line having slope m and passing through a point (h,k) is
y - k = m(x - h)
⇒ equation of line perpendicular to given line is y - (-6) = 0.25×{x - (-4)}
⇒ y + 6 = 0.25×(x + 4)
⇒ y + 6 = 0.25x + 1
⇒ <u>y = 0.25x - 5</u>
This is in the slope-intercept form y = mx + c with slope m = 0.25 and y-intercept (0,-5)

Complete question :
Suppose that of the 300 seniors who graduated from Schwarzchild High School last spring, some have jobs, some are attending college, and some are doing both. The following Venn diagram shows the number of graduates in each category. What is the probability that a randomly selected graduate has a job if he or she is attending college? Give your answer as a decimal precise to two decimal places.
What is the probability that a randomly selected graduate attends college if he or she has a job? Give your answer as a decimal precise to two decimal places.
Answer:
0.56 ; 0.60
Step-by-step explanation:
From The attached Venn diagram :
C = attend college ; J = has a job
P(C) = (35+45)/300 = 80/300 = 8/30
P(J) = (30+45)/300 = 75/300 = 0.25
P(C n J) = 45 /300 = 0.15
1.)
P(J | C) = P(C n J) / P(C)
P(J | C) = 0.15 / (8/30)
P(J | C) = 0.5625 = 0.56
2.)
P(C | J) = P(C n J) / P(J)
P(C | J) = 0.15 / (0.25)
P(C | J) = 0.6 = 0.60
Answer:
The expected value of lateness hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability distribution of lateness is as follows:
Lateness P (Lateness)
On Time 4/5
1 Hour Late 1/10
2 Hours Late 1/20
3 Hours Late 1/20
The formula of expected value of a random variable is:
Compute the expected value of lateness as follows:
Thus, the expected value of lateness hours.
