McLaughlin High School is selling 1,000 tickets for $10 each to raise funds for its arts programs. One ticket will be drawn, and

the person who bought it will win a $1,000 prize. What do think of such a system for raising funds? Would you buy a ticket? Why or why not?
In general, what is your personal view of games of chance, such as a raffle? Do you participate in such games? Do you have particular feelings about people who do or about those who offer them?

I honestly think its a good way of raising funds, I would absolutely buy the ticket because in as much as the probability of wining is minimal, I'd be participating in the fund raising, and I do participate in games of chances every once in a while

Line FG goes through the points (4,9) and (1,3). Which equation represents a line that is perpendicular to FG and passes through

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

$x + 2y= 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Points:

$F = (4,9)$

$G = (1,3)$

Required

Determine the equation of line that is perpendicular to the given points and that pass through $(2,0)$

First, we need to determine the slope, m of FG

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

Where

$F = (4,9)$ --- $(x_1,y_1)$

$G = (1,3)$ --- $(x_2,y_2)$

$m = \frac{3 - 9}{1 - 4}$

$m = \frac{- 6}{- 3}$

$m =2$

The question says the line is perpendicular to FG.

Next, we determine the slope (m2) of the perpendicular line using:

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{m}$

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

The equation of the line is then calculated as:

$y - y_1 = m_2(x - x_1)$

Where

$m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$(x_1,y_1) = (2,0)$

$y - 0 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$

$y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1$

Multiply through by 2

$2y = -x + 2$

Add x to both sides

$x + 2y= -x +x+ 2$

$x + 2y= 2$

Hence, the line of the equation is $x + 2y= 2$

The distribution of passenger vehicle speeds traveling on a certain freeway in California is nearly normal with a mean of 73.7 m

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) 0.2347, 0.0007

b) 1.30

c) 0.63

Step-by-step explanation:

Given –

Mean = 73.4

Sigma = 4.7

Probability that the speed is greater than 70 is

P (X>70) = P (z> (70-73.4)/4.7) = P (z>-0.72) = 0.7653

a) The probability that a car is not speeding = 1 - 0.7653 = 0.2347

The probability that all 5 cars are not speeding = (0.2347)5 = 0.0007

b) E (X) = 1/p = 1/0.7653 = 1.30

c) Standard deviation = Sqrt (1-p/p) = (1-0.7653)/0.7653 = 0.63
