The variation equation is xy = a^3

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

An inverse variation is represented as:

xy = k

Where k is the constant of variation

When y = a and x =a^2, we have:

k = a * a^2

Evaluate

k = a^3

Substitute k = a^3 in xy = k

xy = a^3

Hence, the equation is xy = a^3

What is the sequence technique of this number sequence 3 20 78 334 1696 ?

polet [3.4K]

3×2+14=20
20×3+18=78
78×4+22=334
334×5+26=1696
1696×6+30=10206
Hence, the question mark should be replaced by 10206

1) what is the initial value?

JulsSmile [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

1) for t = 0, the initial value is -0.45 gal. which is funny. when it is really cold, do people add water to the tank somehow instead of consuming water ?

so I guess, that system is really reliable with values greater than 0.

0.0875t = 0.45

t = 5.142857143...°

so, I guess, 6° is the lowest reasonable value for this function.

2) as for any line function, the slope is the rate of change.

so, 0.0875 gal more per 1 degree more in temperature.

3) t = 90

w = 0.0875×90 - 0.45 = 7.425 gal

Three randomly selected households are surveyed. the numbers of people in the households are 1,3,8 assume that samples of size n

Naily [24]

I assumed that 3 households are sampled.
Now, is the number in each of these households equal to 1, 3 and 8 people?

Next, the question says, samples of n=2 are randomly selected (with replacement) from these 3.

So are sample space is
11
13
31
33
18
81
38
88
83
88

This is done 9 times.
Is that how you understand the problem?
When they select the household with only 1 person, the variance is 0
When they select the household with 8 people, they variance will be from a discrete uniform distribution

Similarly for household with 3 individuals.

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

The lower bound of the probability that there will be between 100 and 140 passengers 96%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Chebyshev's theorem states that, the probability that <em>X</em> is within <em>k</em> standard deviation of mean is given by,

$P(|X-\mu|$
