Just did a specific one of these; let's do the general case.
The point nearest the origin is (a,b).
The line from the origin through the point is
The line we seek is perpendicular to this one. We swap the coefficients on x and y, negating one, to get the perpendicular family of lines. We set the constant by plugging in the point (a,b):
That's standard form; let's plug in the numbers:
Answer:
The mean and the standard deviation of the number of students with laptops are 1.11 and 0.836 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let <em>X</em> = number of students who have laptops.
The probability of a student having a laptop is, P (X) = <em>p</em> = 0.37.
A random sample of <em>n</em> = 30 students is selected.
The event of a student having a laptop is independent of the other students.
The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.
The mean and standard deviation of a binomial random variable <em>X</em> are:
Compute the mean of the random variable <em>X</em> as follows:
The mean of the random variable <em>X</em> is 1.11.
Compute the standard deviation of the random variable <em>X</em> as follows:
The standard deviation of the random variable <em>X</em> is 0.836.
