Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it is A because for perpendicular lines the slope must be the reciprocal and have the opposite sign. The y-intercept 2 matches the coordinates (-2, 2). The second number, 2, is the y coordinate.

4. The annual salaries of employees in a large company are approximately

svetoff [14.1K]

a. What percent of people earn less than $40000?

Solution: Let S be the random variable of a salary of employee (in $), S ~ N(50000,20000). Then the random

variable X =−50000

20000

~N(0,1).

( < 40000) = ( <

40000 − 50000

20000 ) = ( < −0.5) = (−0.5) = 0.3085375.

Here Φ(x) denotes the cumulative distribution function of a standard normal distribution.

Answer: 31%.

b. What percent of people earn between $45000 and $65000?

Solution:

(45000 < < 65000) = (

45000 − 50000

20000 < <

65000 − 50000

20000 ) = (−0.25 < < 0.75)

= (0.75) − (−0.25) = 0.7733726 − 0.4012937 = 0.3720789.

Answer: 37%.

c. What percent of people earn more than $70000?

Solution:

( > 70000) = ( >

70000 − 50000

20000 ) = ( > 1) = 0.8413447.

Answer: 84%.

When Alice spends the day with the babysitter, there is a 0.6 probability that she turns on the TV and watches a show. Her littl

slava [35]

Answer:

a) There is a 48% probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow.

b) There is a 48% probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow.

c) There is a 12% probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 60% probability that Alice watches TV.

If Alice watches TV, an 80% probability Betty watches TV.

If Alice does not watch TV, a 0% probability that Betty watches TV, since she cannot turn the TV on by herself.

a) What is the probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow?

Alice watches 60% of the time. Betty watches in 80% of the time Alice watches. So:

$P = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48$

There is a 48% probability that both Alice and Betty watch TV tomorrow.

b) What is the probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow?

Since Betty only watches when Alice watches(80% of the time), this probability is the same as the probability of both of them watching. So

$P = 0.6*0.8 = 0.48$

There is a 48% probability that Betty watches TV tomorrow.

c) What is the probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow?

There is a 60% probability that Alice watches TV tomorrow. If she watches, there is an 80% probability that Betty watches and a 20% probability she does not watch.

$P = 0.6*0.2 = 0.12$

There is a 12% probability that only Alice watches TV tomorrow.

Based on the polynomial remainder theorem, what is the value of the function when x=−6 ?

Vaselesa [24]

ANSWER

$f( - 6) = 10$

EXPLANATION

The given function is
$f(x) = {x}^{4} + 8 {x}^{3} + 10 {x}^{2} - 7x + 40$

According to the remainder theorem,

$f( - 6) = R$
where R is the remainder when
$f(x)$

is divided by
$x + 6$

We therefore substitute the value of x and evaluate to obtain,

$f( - 6) = { (- 6)}^{4} + 8 {( - 6)}^{3} + 10 { (- 6)}^{2} - 7( - 6)+ 40$

$f( - 6) = 1296 + 8 ( - 216) + 10 (36) - 7( - 6)+ 40$

$f( - 6) = 1296 - 1728 + 360 + 42+ 40$

This will evaluate to,

$f( - 6) = 10$

Hence the value of the function when
$x = - 6$

is
$10$

According to the remainder theorem,
$10$
is the remainder when

$f(x) = {x}^{4} + 8 {x}^{3} + 10 {x}^{2} - 7x + 40$
is divided by
$x + 6$
