Given the equation of a line: y = 3x - 7. Select the equation of the line PERPENDICULAR to this line

Answer:

The third option, y=(-1/3)x-7

Step-by-step explanation:

To find a line perpendicular to an equation, you find the negative reciprocal of the slope. For instance, if you have an equation y=4x+5, the negative reciprocal is y=(-1/4)x+5. That is the equation to find a line perpendicular to this.

If you want to find a line parallel to the equation y=4x+5, all you have to do is come up with another equation that has the same slope. So, y=4x+8 would be a line parallel to the equation y=4x+5.

Although cities encourage carpooling to reduce traffic congestion, most vehicles carry only one person. For example, 64% of vehi
ira [324]

Answer:

a) 0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

b) 0.996 is the probability that more than half of the vehicles  carry just one person.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

A) Binomial distribution

We treat vehicle on road with one passenger as a success.

P(success) = 64% = 0.64

Then the number of vehicles follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 6) = P(x =6) +...+ P(x = 10) \\= \binom{10}{6}(0.64)^6(1-0.64)^4 +...+ \binom{10}{10}(0.64)^{10}(1-0.79)^0\\=0.7291

0.7291 is the probability that more than half out of 10 vehicles carry just 1 person.

B) By normal approximation

Sample size, n = 92

p = 0.64

\mu = np = 92(0.64) = 58.88

\sigma = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{92(0.64)(1-0.64)} = 4.60

We have to evaluate the probability that more than 47 cars carry just one person.

P(x \geq 47)

After continuity correction, we will evaluate

P( x \geq 46.5) = P( z > \displaystyle\frac{46.5 - 58.88}{4.60}) = P(z > -2.6913)

= 1 - P(z \leq -2.6913)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x > 46.5) = 1 - 0.004 = 0.996 = 99.6\%

0.996 is the probability that more than half out of 92 vehicles carry just one person.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

341

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of people who know the art of quilting in each successive generation is

1, 4, 16, …

These numbers represent a geometric sequence where each term has the form

aₙ = a₁rⁿ⁻¹

In your sequence, a₁ = 1 and r = 4.

Then, the formula for your sequence is

aₙ = 4ⁿ⁻¹

Sum over five generations

The formula for the sum of the first n terms of a geometric series is

Sum = a₁[(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r)]

Sum = 1[(1 - 4⁵)/(1 - 4)

       = (1 - 1024)/(-3)

       = -1023/-3

       = 341

If the process continues for five generations, 341 people will know the art of quilting.
