Answer:

The perpendicular line has a slope of -2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have a slope that multiplies to -1

3/2 * m = -1

Multiply each side by 2/3

3/2 * 2/3 *m = -1 * 2/3

m = -2/3

Answer: -2/3

Step-by-step explanation: The key to understanding this problem is to understand what it means when slopes are perpendicular.

To most students, perpendicular lines are simply

lines that meet at a 90 degree angle.

However, when dealing with these kinds of problems, it's important

to think about perpendicular lines in terms of their slopes.

As a rule, the slopes of two perpendicular

lines are always negative reciprocals.

So if we know that the slope of one line is 3/2, we can find the slope of the other line by finding the negative reciprocal of 3/2.

So we take the fraction and flip it, then we change the sign.

So the negative reciprocal of 3/2 is -2/3.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

n=1849

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}})$

Solution to the problem

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 99% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.99=0.01$ and $\alpha/2 =0.005$ . And the critical value would be given by:
