Answer:

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = - 8 is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A perpendicular line must then be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis.

The equation of a vertical line is x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates it passes through.

The line passes through (- 4, - 2) with x- coordinate - 4, thus

x = - 4 ← equation of perpendicular line

Answer:

The line y = -8 is horizontal

The line perpendicular to the line y = -8 is vertical

The equation of the line perpendicular to the line y = -8 through

the point (-4 , -2) is x = -4

Problem 5.A miner is trapped inside a mine and has access to 3 doors. The first door leads to a tunneland can take him to safety

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Expected time is 15 hours for him to get to safety.

Step-by-step explanation:

We define X as the time that this miner would get to safety.

We define Y as the door he chooses initially.

P(Y= 1) = P(Y=2)=P(Y=3) = 1/3

We have E[X|Y=1] = 3

E[X|Y] = 5 hours + E[X}

E[X|Y] = 7 hours + E[X]

Then we have

E[X] = 1/3(3 + 5 + E[X] + 7 + E[X])

We cross multiply

3*E[X] = (15 + 2E[x])

3E[X] - 2E[X] = 15

E[X] = 15

So the time it would take to get him to safety is 15 hours

Shankar has decided to train to be a Carbucks Barrista. Being young and inexperienced, for every order he makes a mistake in mak

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each trial is independent of the other

no of mistakes he does is binomial with p = 1/3

a) the probability that he makes no mistakes on his first 10 orders but the 11th order is a mistake

= $(\frac{2}{3}) ^{10} *\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{2^{10} }{3^{11} }$

b) Prob that shanker quits = P(Shankar does I one mistake and Fran does not do the first one)+Prob (Shanker does mistake in the II one while Fran does both right)

= $\frac{1*5}{3*6} +\frac{2}{3} \frac{1}{3}(\frac{5}{6})^2 =\frac{5}{18} +\frac{50}{216} \\=\frac{55}{108}$
