Answer:

<em>m</em> = 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Algebra I</u>

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

  • m - slope
  • b - y-intercept

Perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

y = -1/2x + 4

<u>Step 2: Identify</u>

Slope <em>m</em> = -1/2

<u>Step 3: Solve</u>

<em>Reciprocate and multiply by negative</em>

<em>m</em> = 2

Terry needs to carry a pole that
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, (a^2+b^2=c^2 ) we can measure the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Since the doorway is a rectangle, and a rectangle cut diagonally is a right triangle, we can use Pythagorean Theorem to measure the diagonal width of the doorway.

Plug in the values of the length and width of the door for a and b. The c value will represent the diagonal width of the doorway:

6^2+9^2=c^2

36+81=c^2

117=c^2

Since 117 is equal to the value of c multiplied by c, we must find the square root of 117 to find the value of c.

\sqrt{117} =10.8

10.8=c

Yes, The pole will fit through the door because the diagonal width of the door is 10.8 feet, which is longer than the length of the pole, measuring 10 feet.

Calculate the expected value, the variance, and the standard deviation of the given random variable X. (Round all answers to two
Tom [10]

Answer:

E (X) = 1.8

Var (X) = 0.36

σ = 0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- Denote the random variable X : is the number of red marbles that Suzan has in her hand after she selects three marbles.

- Total sample space (bag) have the following quantity of colored marbles:

                Bag : { 3 Red , 2 Green }

- Suzan selects three marbles from the bag. The Event (X) defines the number of red marbles out of 3.

- The total number of outcomes / selections for randomly selecting 3 balls from the bag:

               All outcomes = 5 C 3 = 10

- The probability distribution of the random variable X, we will use combinations to determine the required probabilities:

  X = 1 red marble:

        P ( X = 1 ) : Suzan chooses 1 Red marble from the available 3 red marble and 2 green marbles.

        P ( X = 1 ) = [ 3C1*2C2 ] / all outcomes = (3*1) / 10 = 0.3

X = 2 red marble:

        P ( X = 2 ) : Suzan chooses 2 Red marble from the available 3 red marble and 1 green marbles.

        P ( X = 2 ) = [ 3C2*2C1 ] / all outcomes = (3*2) / 10 = 0.6

X = 3 red marble:

        P ( X = 3 ) : Suzan chooses 3 Red marble from the available 3 red marble.

        P ( X = 3 ) = [ 3C3] / all outcomes = (1) / 10 = 0.1

- The probability distribution is as follows:

          X :         1                 2                3

       P (X):       0.3            0.6              0.1

- The expected value E(X) for the given random variable X is:

                E ( X ) = ∑Xi*P(Xi)

                           = 1*0.3 + 2*0.6 + 3*0.1

                           =1.8

- The variance Var(X) for the given random variable X is:

                Var ( X ) = ∑Xi^2*P(Xi) - [ E(X) ] ^2

                               = 1^2*0.3 + 2^2*0.6 + 3^2*0.1 - 1.8^2

                               = 0.36

- The standard deviation for the given random variable X is:

                σ = √Var(X)

                σ = √0.36

                σ = 0.6
