Thirty percent of the students at a local high school face a disciplinary action of some kind before they graduate. Of those "fe

lony" students, 40% go on to college. Of the ones who do not face disciplinary action 60% go on to college. Show if events faced disciplinary action and went to college are independent or not.

Answer:

Not independent

Step-by-step explanation:

For two events to be independent, they must not effect each other. For two independent events, changes in one of the event do not cause any change on the other event.

To explain it in terms of probability, let's first define and calculate the probabilities:

P(F) : Probability of facing felony

P(C) : Probability of going to college

P(F ∩ C) : Probability of facing felony and going to college

P(F° ∩ C): Probability of not facing a felony and going to college

Assume we have 100 students:

Faced felony = 0.3 * 100 = 30

Faced felony and go college = 30 * 0.4 = 12

Not faced felony = 0.7 * 100 = 70

Not faced felony and go college = 0.6 * 70 = 42

Total of going to college = 12 + 42 = 54

So P(C) = 54 / 100 = 0.54

If P(F)*P(C) = P(F ∩ C), then these two events are independent. If not, they are not independent.

Let's calculate the probabilities:

As given in the question, 30% of students face felony so P(F) = 0.3

P(C) = P(C ∩ F) + P(C ∩ F°) = 0.12 + 0.42 = 0.54

P(F) = 0.3

P(F ∩ C) = 0.12

P(F)*P(C) = 0.3 * 0.54 = 0.162 which ic not equal to P(F ∩ C). Therefore, these events are not independent.

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line
Sati [7]

<u>Given</u>:

Given that the graph of the equation of the line.

The line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (2,-1)

We need to determine the equation of the line perpendicular to the given line.

<u>Slope of the given line:</u>

The slope of the given line can be determined by substituting any two coordinates from the line in the slope formula,

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substituting the coordinates (-1,3) and (2,2), we get;

m_1=\frac{2-3}{2+1}

m_1=-\frac{1}{3}

Thus, the slope of the given line is m_1=-\frac{1}{3}

<u>Slope of the perpendicular line:</u>

The slope of the perpendicular line can be determined by

m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}

Substituting m_1=-\frac{1}{3}, we get;

m_2=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{3}}

simplifying, we get;

m_2=3

Thus, the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.

<u>Equation of the perpendicular line:</u>

The equation of the perpendicular line can be determined using the formula,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Substituting m=3 and the point (2,-1) in the above formula, we have;

y+1=3(x-2)

y+1=3x-6

     y=3x-7

Thus, the equation of the perpendicular line is y=3x-7

Hence, Option d is the correct answer.
