Answer:

<h2>C. 2x + 5y = 36</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{If}\ A_1x+B_1y=C_1\ \text{is perpendicular to}\ A_2x+B_2y=C_2,\ \text{then}\\\\\dfrac{A_1}{B_1}=-\dfrac{B_2}{A_2}.\\\\\text{We have the equation:}\ 5x-2y=-10\to A_1=5,\ B_1=-2.\\\\\dfrac{A_1}{B_1}=\dfrac{5}{-2}\to-\dfrac{B_2}{A_2}=-\dfrac{5}{2}\qquad\text{change the signs}\\\\\dfrac{B_2}{A_2}=\dfrac{5}{2}\to A_2=2,\ B_2=5\\\\\text{Therefore the equation of a perpendicular line is:}\\\\2x+5y=C\\\\\text{Put the coordinates of the given point and solve for}\ C:\\\\2(-2)+5(8)=C\\\\C=-4+40\\\\C=36\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\2x+5y=36$

A random variable x follows a normal distribution with mean d and standard deviation o=2. It is known that x is less than 5 abou

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The mean of this distribution is approximately 3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how to solve this problem using a normal distribution table.

Let $z$ be the

$\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ .

In this question, $x = 5$ and $\sigma = 2$ . The equation becomes

$\displaystyle z = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}$ .

To solve for $\mu$ , the mean of this distribution, the only thing that needs to be found is the value of $z$ . Since

The problem stated that $P(X \le 5) = 69.85\% = 0.6985$ . Hence, $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ .

The problem is that the normal distribution tables list only the value of $P(0 \le Z \le z)$ for $z \ge 0$ . To estimate $z$ from $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ , it would be necessary to find the appropriate

Since $P(Z \le z) = 0.6985$ and is greater than $P(Z \le 0) = 0.50$ , $z > 0$ . As a result, $P(Z \le z)$ can be written as the sum of $P(Z < 0)$ and $P(0 \le Z \le z)$ . Besides, $P(Z < 0) = P(Z \le 0) = 0.50$ . As a result:

$\begin{aligned}&P(Z \le z)\\ &= P(Z < 0) + P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= 0.50 + P(0 \le Z \le z)\end{aligned}$ .

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}&P(0 \le Z \le z) \\ &= P(Z \le z) - 0.50 \\&= 0.6985 - 0.50 \\&=0.1985 \end{aligned}$ .

Lookup $0.1985$ on a normal distribution table. The corresponding $z$ -score is $0.52$ . (In other words, $P(0 \le Z \le 0.52) = 0.1985$ .)

Given that

$z = 0.52$ ,
$x =5$ , and
$\sigma = 2$ ,

Solve the equation $\displaystyle z = \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma}$ for the mean, $\mu$ :

$\displaystyle 0.52 = \frac{5 - \mu}{2}$ .

$\mu = 5 - 2 \times 0.52 = 3.96$ .

Enter an equation that can be used to find x. (Picture below)

Levart [38]

(2x+1)+89=180. 180 is the angle of a straight line. Set your two known sides equal to 180 and solve for x if needed.

Answer:

Its 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite angles are equal so then CGE is the same as FGD and since angle CGB is a right angle we can subract the 30 from 90 and get a 60
