Determine the slope of line AB
m = 5

Determine the slope of the lines from the options
First option: y = 5x + 3, the slope is 5
Second option: y = (1/5)x + 3, the slope is 1/5
Third option: y = -5x + 3, the slope is -5
Fourth option: y = (-1/5)x + 3, the slope is -1/5

Parallel lines are similar in the slope. So the line which is parallel to line AB must have the slope of 5.

The answer is first option.

A man is in a boat that is floating 175 feet from the base of a 200 foot cliff. What is the angle of depression between the clif
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The of depression between the cliff and the boat is 48.74 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have,

Height of the cliff is 200 foot

Distance of boat from the cliff is 175 feet

It is required to find the angle of depression between the cliff and the boat.

Here, 200 foot is perpendicular distance and 175 is base.

Using trigonometry :

\tan\theta=\dfrac{P}{B}\\\\\tan\theta=\dfrac{200}{175}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}(1.14)\\\\\theta=48.74^{\circ}

So, the of depression between the cliff and the boat is 48.74 degrees.

A jar contains 4 white and 4 black marbles. We randomly choose 4 marbles. If 2 of them are white and 2 are black, we stop. If no
Airida [17]

Answer:

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).  </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that in the single trial, we have (8 4) possibilities of choosing our set of balls. If we have chosen two white balls and two black balls, the probability of doing that is simply  

p=(4 2)*(4 2)/(8 4)

This is well know Hyper geometric distribution. Now, define random variable X that marks the number of trials that have been needed to obtain the right combination (two white and two black balls). From the nature of the problem, observe that X has Geometric distribution with parameter p that has been calculated above. Hence  

P(X = n) = (1— p)^n-1 *( p )

<em>Find the probability of success in a single trial and then think about the nature of the problem (when do we stop).  </em>

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires. Given its specific needs, the management feels that there is a 50%
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a) 0.9

b) Mean = 1.58

Standard Deviation = 0.89

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

A marketing firm is considering making up to three new hires.

Let X be the variable describing the number of hiring in the company.

Thus, x can take values 0,1 ,2 and 3.

P(x\geq 2) = 50\%= 0.5\\P(x = 0) = 10\% = 0.1\\P(x = 3) = 18\% = 0.18

a) P(firm will make at least one hire)

P(x\geq 2) = P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\0.5 = P(x=2) + 0.18\\ P(x=2) = 0.32

Also,

P(x= 0) +P(x= 1) + P(x= 2) + P(x= 3) = 1\\ 0.1 + P(x= 1) + 0.32 + 0.18 = 1\\ P(x= 1) = 1- (0.1+0.32+0.18) = 0.4

\text{P(firm will make at least one hire)}\\= P(x\geq 1)\\=P(x=1) + P(x=2) + P(x=3)\\ = 0.4 + 0.32 + 0.18 = 0.9

b) expected value and the standard deviation of the number of hires.

E(X) = \displaystyle\sum x_iP(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 2(0.32)+3(0.18) = 1.58

E(x^2) = \displaystyle\sum x_i^2P(x_i)\\=0(0.1) + 1(0.4) + 4(0.32) +9(0.18) = 3.3\\V(x) = E(x^2)-[E(x)]^2 = 3.3-(1.58)^2 = 0.80\\\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{V(x)} = \sqrt{0.8036} = 0.89
