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.

Amanda teaches the art of quilling to four students these students each teach the art of quilling to four other students if this

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.
