Answer:

y - 7 = (1/10)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Next time please share the possible answers. Thank you.

Any line perpendicular to y = -10x + 1 has the slope +1/10, which is the negative reciprocal of -10.

Using the point-slope formula, we get:

y - 7 = (1/10)(x - 5)

According to a survey, 60 % of the residents of a city oppose a downtown casino. Of these 60 % about 8 out of 10 strongly opp

Answer:

(a) 0.48

(b) 0.20

(c) it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the casino.

The probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino and strongly opposes the cassino is the product of the two probabilities, that a resident opposes the casino and that it strongly opposes the casino (once it is in the first group) as it is shown below.

Use this notation:

Probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino: P(A)

Probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it: P(B/A), because it is the probability of event B given the event A

i) Determine the probability that a radomly selected resident opposes the casino, P(A)

Probability = number of favorable outcomes / number of possible outcomes

P(A) is given as 60%, which in decimal form is 0.60

ii) Next, determine,the probability that a resident who opposes the casino strongly opposes it, P(B/A):

It is given as 8 out of 10 ⇒ P(B/A) = 8/10

iii) You want the probability of both events, which is the joint probability or intersection: P(A∩B).

So, you can use the definition of conditional probability:

P(B/A) = P(A∩B) / P(A)

iv) From which you can solve for P(A∩B)

P(A∩B) = P(B/A)×P(A) = (8/10)×(0.60) = 0.48

(b) Find the probability that a randomly selected resident who opposes the casino does not strongly oppose the casino.

In this case, you just want the complement of the probability that a radomly selected resident who opposes the casino does strongly oppose the casino, which is 1 - P(B/A) = 1 - 8/10 = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2.

(c) Would it be unusual for a randomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino?

You are being asked about the joint probability (PA∩B), which you found in the part (a) and it is 0.48.

That is almost 0.50 or half of the population, so you conclude it is not unusual for a radomly selected resident to oppose the casino and strongly oppose the casino.

Constant: A value that doesn't change. Instead, it's a fixed value.

Variable: A symbol (usually a letter) standing in for an unknown numerical value in an equation.

Term: Either a single number or variable, or numbers and variables multiplied together. (Terms are separated by + or − signs, or sometimes by divide.)

Like Terms: Terms whose variables (and their exponents such as the 2 in x2) are the same. In other words, terms that are "like" each other.

Coefficient: A number used to multiply a variable.
