Answer:

The slope of the perpendicular line to the line is

m = $\frac{-1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step(i):-

Given that the line y =f(x) = 2x +6

⇒ y = 2x +6

comparing y =mx +c

The slope of the given line m =2

Step(ii):-

The slope of the perpendicular line = $\frac{-1}{m}$

The slope of the perpendicular line = $\frac{-1}{2}$

kaheart [24]

Since 1 litre is 1000 millilitres, we can convert it to 1000 millilitres. So, we can subtract 375 millilitres from 1000 millilitres. Which will give us the answer of 625 millilitres.

If a student randomly guesses at 20 multiple-choice questions, find the probability that the student gets exactly four correct.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

Probability = 0.190

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of questions, 'n' = 20

Each question has four choices.

Let event of choosing correct answer be success and its probability be represented by 'p'.

Therefore, event of choosing wrong answer is failure and its probability be represented by 'q'.

Now, probability of success is choosing one correct answer out of 4 options. So, $p=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$

Now, 'p' and 'q' are complements of each other. Therefore,

$q=1-p=1-0.25=0.75$

Now, we need 4 successes. Therefore, $x=4$

Using Bernoulli's theorem to find 'x' successes from 'n' questions, we get:

$P(x)=_{x}^{n}\textrm{C}p^xq^{n-x}$

Plug in 4 for 'x', 20 for 'n', 0.25 for 'p' and 0.75 for 'q'. Solve.

$P(4)=_{4}^{20}\textrm{C}(0.25)^4(0.75)^{20-4}\\P(4)=_{4}^{20}\textrm{C}(0.25)^4(0.75)^{16}\\P(4)=4845\times (0.25)^4\times (0.65)^{16}\\\\P(4)=0.1896\approx0.190$

Therefore, the probability of getting 4 correct answers out of 20 questions is 0.190.
