Answer:
y = -2/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: The first thing that we need to do is to find the slope of a given line
The explicit equation of a given line is: y = 3/2x + 5/2
So the slope is m = 3/2:
Step 2: The perpendicular slope (m1) is negative reciprocal of the slope m.
m1 = -2/3
So the perpendicular line will have a slope of m1 = -2/3
Step 3: Now we have a point and the slope so we can use point-slope form, which is: y - y0 = m1(x - x0)
In this example we have: m1 = -2/3, x0 = 0 and y0 = -1. After substitution we have:
y - y0 = m1(x - x0)
y - (-1) = -2/3(x - 0)
y + 1 = -2/3x + 0
y = -2/3x + 0 - 1
y = -2/3x - 1

Answer:
P(X = 0) = 0.1897
P(X = 1) = 0.3910
P(X = 2) = 0.3021
P(X = 3) = 0.1038
P(X = 4) = 0.0134
Step-by-step explanation:
For each owner, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are insured against an earthquake, or they are not. The probability of a homeowner being insured against an earthquake is independent of other homeowners. So the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
Suppose that in one metropolitan area, the chance a homeowner is insured against an earthquake is 0.34.
This means that
A sample of four homeowners are to be selected at random.
This means that
(a) Find the probability mass function of X. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
The pmf is the probability of each outcome.
