Step-by-step explanation:

A(9,-5)=x1,y1

B(1,-1)=x2,y2

Slope of line(m)

=y2-y1/x2-x1

=-1+5/1-9

=4/-8

=-1/2

A box contains 24 transistors,4 of which are defective. If 4 are sold at random,find the following probabilities. i. Exactly 2 a

zavuch27 [327]

SOLUTION

This is a binomial probability. For i, we will apply the Binomial probability formula

i. Exactly 2 are defective

Using the formula, we have

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^nC_x\left(p^x\right?\left(q^{n-x}\right) \\ Where\text{ } \\ P_x=binomial\text{ probability} \\ x=number\text{ of times for a specific outcome with n trials =2} \\ p=\text{ probability of success = }\frac{4}{24}=\frac{1}{6} \\ q=probability\text{ of failure =1-}\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\ ^nC_x=\text{ number of combinations = }^4C_2 \\ n=\text{ number of trials = 4} \end{gathered}$

Note that I made the probability of being defective as the probability of success = p

and probability of none defective as probability of failure = q

Exactly 2 are defective becomes the binomial probability

$\begin{gathered} P_x=^4C_2\times\lparen\frac{1}{6})^2\times\lparen\frac{5}{6})^{4-2} \\ P_x=6\times\frac{1}{36}\times\frac{25}{36} \\ P_x=\frac{25}{216} \\ =0.1157 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.1157

(ii) None is defective becomes

$\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{5}{6})^4=\frac{625}{1296} \\ =0.4823 \end{gathered}$

hence the answer is 0.4823

(iii) All are defective

$\begin{gathered} \lparen\frac{1}{6})^4=\frac{1}{1296} \\ =0.00077 \end{gathered}$

(iv) At least one is defective

This is 1 - probability that none is defective

$\begin{gathered} 1-\lparen\frac{5}{6})^4 \\ =1-\frac{625}{1296} \\ =\frac{671}{1296} \\ =0.5177 \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is 0.5177

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points(-5,-9) and (-5,-13)? Write your answer in simplest form.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

slope is undefined

ex. a straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

Step-by-step explanation:

formula is

y2-y1 / x2-x1

-13 + 9 / -5 + 5

-4 / 0

slope is undefined

straight vertical line like x = 2 would have an undefined slope

undefined slope is the slope of any vertical line that goes up or down. There is no horizontal movement and hence the denominator is zero while calculating the slope. Thus the slope of the line is undefined.
