Answer:

2/3 is the slope of the perpendicular line

Step-by-step explanation:

1) put into slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)

-8=2y+3x

-2y=3x+8

y=-3/2x-4

2) the line is perpendicular so the slope will be opposite and the reciprical of the original slope.

so, because the original was -3/2, the new one is 2/3

Two boards are 26 meters long altogether. One board is 8 meters long. How long is the other board?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
I think the answer is 18 because together, they are 26 meters and one is 8 so u have to subtract the total with 8 which is 26-8. the answer to that would be 18.

6 high school seniors choose from among 20 quotes for their yearbook. What is the probability that at least 2 of them choose the
shusha [124]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

The parameters are:

  • x is the number of successes.
  • n is the number of trials.
  • p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

In this problem, we have that:

  • There are 6 students, hence n = 6.
  • There are 20 quotes, hence the probability of each being chosen is p = 1/20 = 0.05.

The probability of one quote being chosen at least two times is given by:

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)

In which:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1).

Then:

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.05)^{0}.(0.95)^{6} = 0.7351

P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{5} = 0.2321

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.7351 + 0.2321 = 0.9672.

P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9672 = 0.0328

0.0328 = 3.28% probability that at least 2 of them choose the same quote.
