Answer:

B = 1.875

Step-by-step explanation:

given that A varies directly as B and inversely as C then the equation relating them is

A = $\frac{kB}{C}$ ← k is the constant of variation

to find k use the condition A = 12 when B = 3 and C = 2 , then

12 = $\frac{3k}{2}$ ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

24 = 3k ( divide both sides by 3 )

8 = k

A = $\frac{8B}{C}$ ← equation of variation

when A = 10 and C = 1.5 , then

10 = $\frac{8B}{1.5}$ ( multiply both sides by 1.5 )

15 = 8B ( divide both sides by 8 )

1.875 = B

3p + 7 = -4(4 - 6p) + 2

zvonat [6]

p=1

Step-by-step explanation:

$3p + 7 = - 4(4 - 6p) + 2 \\ 3p + 7 = - 16 + 24p + 2 \\ 3p - 24p = - 16 + 2 - 7 \\ - 21p = - 21$

$\frac{ - 21p}{ - 21} = \frac{ - 21}{ - 21} \\ p = 1$

Suppose that the ages of members in a large billiards league have a known standard deviation of σ = 12 σ=12sigma, equals, 12 yea

asambeis [7]

Answer:

$n\geq 23$

Step-by-step explanation:

-For a known standard deviation, the sample size for a desired margin of error is calculated using the formula:

$n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2$

Where:

$\sigma$ is the standard deviation
$ME$ is the desired margin of error.

We substitute our given values to calculate the sample size:

$n\geq (\frac{z\sigma}{ME})^2\\\\\geq (\frac{1.96\times 12}{5})^2\\\\\geq 22.13\approx23$

Hence, the smallest desired sample size is 23
