we know that

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

$m=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Part a) Find the slope of line PQ

$P(-8,2)\ Q(4,2)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{2-2}{4+8}$

$m=\frac{0}{12}=0$

Any line parallel to X-axis has slope equal to zero

the line PQ is parallel to the x-axis

therefore

the answer Part a) is

$0$

Part b) Find the slope of line MN

$M(8,6)\ N(8,-8)$

substitute in the formula

$m=\frac{-8-6}{8-8}$

$m=\frac{-14}{0}$

Anything divided by zero is undefined

m=undefined

therefore

the answer Part b) is

undefined

Part c) How are the two lines related ?

we know that

Any line perpendicular to X-axis has slope undefined

Because the term $(x2-x1)$ will always be zero

the answer Part c) is

the lines are perpendicular

The slope for PQ is 0.

The slope for MN is undefined.

The lines are perpendicular

The caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds. Find the probabilit

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is 0.7443.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the caller times at a customer service center has an exponential distribution with an average of 22 seconds.

Let X = caller times at a customer service center

The probability distribution (pdf) of the exponential distribution is given by;

$f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x} ; x > 0$

Here, $\lambda$ = exponential parameter

Now, the mean of the exponential distribution is given by;

Mean = $\frac{1}{\lambda}$

So, $22=\frac{1}{\lambda}$ ⇒ $\lambda=\frac{1}{22}$

SO, X ~ Exp( $\lambda=\frac{1}{22}$ )

To find the given probability we will use cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the exponential distribution, i.e;

$P(X\leq x) = 1 - e^{-\lambda x}$ ; x > 0

Now, the probability that a randomly selected call time will be less than 30 seconds is given by = P(X < 30 seconds)

P(X < 30) = $1 - e^{-\frac{1}{22} \times 30}$

= 1 - 0.2557

= 0.7443

Answer:

22.3838476568 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would find the area of sector (yellow). The formula is 75/360 x π x 3².

this is equal to 5.89048622548. Now the total circle area is 3²xπ = 28.2743338823. 28.2743338823 - 5.89048622548 = 22.3838476568 in²

PLEASE HELP MEEEEEEEEEE

Alona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

here's your solution

=> Both the traingle are similar hence ,

=> it's corresponding sides are in equal ratio

=> so,8/20 = 6/y

=> 8y = 20*6

=> y= 20*6/8

=> y = 15

 hope it helps

18. what Gives the missing value in 2/5 = x/30?

Korolek [52]

X is equal to 12
This is because 5 was multiplied and 6 making 30. So you have to multiply 2 and 6 making x 12. Hope that makes sense
