Explanation

So first we’re gonna change the equation to y=Mx+b by subtracting the 8x and then dividing both sides by -4. This can be show like this

8x-4y=12
-8x. -8x

-4y=-8x+12
/-4. /-4

Y=2x-3

So now that we have the equation in Y=Mx+b. The problem still isn’t done because it’s asking us to set up an equation that’s perpendicular. Which means the slope becomes the opposite

So the slope isn’t 2 anymore but instead -1/2! So now that we know that we need to make the line go through the origin which is very easy because you can just set the y intercept to 0.

So now that the perpendicular line is

Y=-1/2x or y=-1/2x +0

I hope I explain this well!

Monique said 0.70 is greater than 0.7 because 70 is greater than 7. do you agree with monique

elixir [45]

No. 0.70 is the same as 0.7, for the place value of 7 is the same for both (tenths place). In 0.70, the place value of 0 is the hundredth, which is not needed.

0.70 = 0.7

Disagree is your answer

Researchers at a pharmaceutical company have found that the effective time duration of a safe dosage of pain relief drug is norm

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a) $P(1$

b) $P(X$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

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 Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

2) Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the duration of a safe dosage of pain relief drug, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(1.5,0.8)$
