Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, perpendicular line has a slope that is "negative reciprocal" of the given line's slope.

The equation of a line is y = mx + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

So, the given line has a slope of "-4", hence the perpendicular line would have a slope of "1/4". So immediately we can eliminate Answer Choice "A".

Now, let's see which of the other choices is our correct answer. Since we know this line has slope of "1/4", we can write:

y = (1/4)x + b

Given the point (4,5), we can replace "x" with "4" and "y" with 5 and find b:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+b\\5=\frac{1}{4}(4)+b\\5=1+b\\b=5-1\\b=4$

So, the equation is:

$y=\frac{1}{4}x+4$

Correct answer is D

Answer:

Answer:

P(A) = 0.39

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

P(W|A) = 0.7

P(W|A^c ) = 0.3

We are told that 60% of the respondents said they voted for A. Thus;

P(A|W) = 60% = 0.6

Now, using the principle of drawing lots, we can be able to find the probability of the event that they are willing to participate in the exit poll which is P(W).

Thus;

P(W) = [P(W|A) × P(A)] +[P(W∣A^c) × P(A^c)]

Now, P(A^c) can be expressed as 1 - P(A)

Thus, we now have;

P(W) = [P(W|A) × P(A)] + [P(W∣A^c) × (1 - P(A)]

Plugging in the relevant values gives;

P(W) = 0.7P(A) + 0.3(1 - P(A))

P(W) = 0.7P(A) + 0.3 - 0.3P(A)

P(W) = 0.3 + 0.4P(A)

Now,using Baye's theorem, we can find an expression for P(A|W)

Thus;

P(A|W) = [P(A ∩ W)]/P(W)

This can be further expressed as;

P(A|W) = [P(A) × P(W|A)]/P(W)

Plugging in relevant values, we have;

0.6 = 0.7P(A)/(0.3 + 0.4P(A))

Cross multiply to get;

0.6(0.3 + 0.4P(A)) = 0.7P(A)

0.18 + 0.24P(A) = 0.7P(A)

0.18 = 0.7P(A) - 0.24P(A)

0.46P(A) = 0.18

P(A) = 0.18/0.46

P(A) = 0.39
