Answer:

B) y = (-7X/5) + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall two lines are perpendicular if their slopes are negative reciprocals (5/7 goes to -7/5).

Assuming in the form y = mx + b:

Solving for b:

-7/5(-5) + x = 11

(5's & negatives cancel out...)

7 + x = 11

x = 4

y = -7/5x + 4

The scores of 1000 students on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 5. wha

ra1l [238]

We are looking to find P(X>60 students)

X is normally distributed with mean 50 and standard deviation 5

We need to find the z-score of 60 students
$Z= \frac{60-50}{5}=2$

To find the probability of P(Z>2), we can do 1 - P(Z<2)
So we read the probability when Z<2 which is 0.9772, then subtract from one we get 0.0228

The number of students that has score more than 60 is 0.0228 x 1000 = 228 students

Estimate the sum of 23 and 71

Natali [406]

Estimation:

23 --> rounded to 20
71 --> rounded to 70
70 + 20 = 90. I rounded both numbers down so the exact sum must be only a little greater than my estimate.

Yao Xin puts 3/10 liters of potting soil in each pot for planting flowers. She has 17/3 liters of potting soil. How many pots ca

kari74 [83]

For this case defining variables we have:

x: total amount of liters of potting soil.

y: number of liters of potting soil in each pot.

We have then to find the number of pots we use the following expression:

$N = \frac{x}{y}$
