3. Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given line and that passes through the given point.

1 answer:

3 0

To find the perpendicular line a y- 2 = 7/3 (x + 5) you must first observe that the slope is m = 7/3, therefore, the slope of the perpendicular line put of the reciprocal, that is, m = - 3/7. So the possible options are A or C, but since the point (-4, 9) must go through the line, we find that the equation that satisfies that is option C.Therefore the perpendicular line that passes through the point (-4, 9) is C. y - 9 = -3/7 (x + 4)

The weights of adult male birds of a certain species are normally distributed with a mean of 27.5 grams and a standard deviation

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The z-score of a male bird of this species with a weight of 29.37 grams is 1.7.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weights of adult male birds of a certain species are normally distributed with a mean of 27.5 grams and a standard deviation of 1.1 grams.

Let X = weights of adult male birds of a certain species

So, X ~ Normal( $\mu=27.5,\sigma^{2} =1.1^{2}$ )

The z score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{ X-\mu}{\sigma } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean weight = 27.5 grams

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 1.1 grams

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is away from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value (area) associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X.

SO, the z-score of a male bird of this species with a weight of 29.37 grams is given by;

Z score = $\frac{ X-\mu}{\sigma } }$ = $\frac{ 29.37-27.5}{1.1 } }$
