Answer: the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min is  0.1 ≈ 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data;

lengths of a professor's classes has a continuous uniform distribution between 50.0 min and 52.0 min

hence, height = 1 / ( 52.0 - 50.0) = 1 / 2

now the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min = ?

P( 50.8 < X < 51 ) = base × height

= ( 51 - 50.8) × 1/2

= 0.2 × 0.5

= 0.1 ≈ 10%  

therefore the probability that the class length is between 50.8 and 51 min is  0.1 ≈ 10%

For each of the following, state the equation of a perpendicular line that passes through (0, 0). Then using the slope of the ne
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) y=3x-1

The standard equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + c

Where m is the slope of the line and c is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y=3x-1, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 3, Two lines with slope a and b are perpendicular if the product of their slope is -1 i.e. ab = -1. Let the line perpendicular to y=3x-1 be d, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

3 × d = -1

d = -1/3

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

y-y_1=d(x-x_1)\\d\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-\frac{1}{3} (x-0)\\y=-\frac{1}{3}x

To find  x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

y=-\frac{1}{3}x\\ 4=-\frac{1}{3}x\\-x=12\\x=-12

b) y=1/4 x+2

Given that y=1/4 x+2, comparing with the standard equation of a line, the slope (m) = 1/4. Let the line perpendicular to y=1/4 x+2 be f, to get the slope of the perpendicular line, we use:

1/4 × f = -1

f = -4

To find the equation of the perpendicular line passing through (0,0), we use:

y-y_1=f(x-x_1)\\f\ is\ the \ slope:\\y-0=-4 (x-0)\\y=-4x

To find  x if the point P(x, 4) lies on the new line, insert y = 4 and find x:

y=-4}x\\ 4=-4x\\x=-1

I need help!<br> What is the value of t?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The t-value measures the size of the difference relative to the variation in your sample data. Put another way, T is simply the calculated difference represented in units of standard error. The greater the magnitude of T, the greater the evidence against the null hypothesis.

Divide 735 in the ratio 4:5:6
muminat

Answer:

196, 245, 294

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 6 + 6 = 15 parts

Divide the total by 15 to find the value of one part of the ratio

735 ÷ 15 = 49 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × 49 = 196

5 parts = 5 × 49 = 245

6 parts = 6 × 49 = 294
