Take the coordinates on each line and find their related slopes:

Slope formula m= (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁)

1st . The two given coordinates of the LOWER line are: (-1,-1) and (1,-2)
them m = (-2+1)/1+1) = -2/2 = -1

2nd. The two given coordinates of the HIGHER line are: (-1,2) and (1,1)
them m = (1-2)/(1+1) = -1/2

3rd. The two given coordinates of the SECANTE are: (1,0) and (2,2)
them m = (2-0)/(2-1) = 2/1 = 1

We notice that the 1st line has m = -1 and the 3rd (secant), m = 1, then only the 1st line and the secant are perpendicular because the product of their slope is equal - 1 (this is the condition to have perpendicular lines)

A number is chosen at random from 1 to 50. Find the probability of not selecting a multiple of 2.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Lets look at the number of numbers between 1 and 50 which is not a multiple of 2. Its 1, 3, 5 ........... 47, 49.

That is 25 numbers.

So the required probability is 25/50 = 1/2 Answer

A researcher reports survey results by stating that the standard error of the mean is 25 the population standard deviation is 40

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

a) A sample of 256 was used in this survey.

b) 45.14% probability that the point estimate was within ±15 of the population mean

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal probability distribution

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
