Line k has a slope of - 1/6. What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to like k?

1 answer:

6 0

The slope of a line and the perpendiular line that intercept will always have a product of -1

If the slope k=-1/6, the perperndicular line can be found by finding the product of the slope and -1

-1= (slope)(perpendicular line slope)
perpendicular line slope= slope(-1)
= -1/6(-1)
= 6

Suppose you roll a six sided number cube one time. What is the probability of rolling a 3 or an even number

Vikki [24]

There are 3 even numbers: 2,4,6. If you add 3 there is 4. There is 6 possible outcomes 1,2,3,4,5,6. So the probability is 4/6, 2/3, 66.666....% or 0.6666666....

The Washington, DC, region has one of the fastest-growing foreclosure rates in the nation, as 15,613 homes went into foreclosure

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

a) 0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b) 0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c) The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each home, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it goes into foreclosure, or it does not. The probability of a home going into foreclosure is independent of other homes. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

a. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure?

The foreclosure rate is 1.31% for the Washington, DC area, which means that $p = 0.0131$

We wanto to find, with $n = 100$ :

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0131)^{0}.(0.9869)^{100} = 0.2675$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0131)^{1}.(0.9869)^{99} = 0.3551$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.2675 + 0.3551 = 0.6226$

0.6226 = 62.26% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the Washington, DC area will go up for foreclosure.

b. What is the probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure?

Foreclosure rate of 0.87% for the nation, which means that $p = 0.0087$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{100,0}.(0.0087)^{0}.(0.9913)^{100} = 0.4174$

$P(X = 1) = C_{100,1}.(0.0087)^{1}.(0.9913)^{99} = 0.3663$

$P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.4174 + 0.3663 = 0.7837$

0.7837 = 78.37% probability that in a given year, fewer than 2 out of 100 houses in the nation will go up for foreclosure.

c. Comment on the above findings.

The proportion of foreclosures in the Nation is lower than in Washington, which means that with a sample size of 100, it is likely to have a small number(fewer than 2) of foreclosures than Washington DC.
