Speed = y/x

1.5 = y / x

y = 1.5x

Can anyone help? It’s not 14, I’ll give Brainly + 15 pts
Julli [10]

Short side length = x

Medium side = x + 7

Long side = 5x

Total 49, so

x + x + 7 + 5x = 49

If you combine like terms:

7x + 7 = 49

Subtract 7 from both sides

7x = 42

Divide both sides by 7

x = 6 inches.

Let X be the temperature in at which a certain chemical reaction takes place, and let Y be the temperature in (so Y = 1.8X + 32)
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

The random variable, Y be the temperature of chemical reaction in degree fahrenheit be a linear expression of a random variable X : The  temperature in at which a certain chemical reaction takes place.

                             Y = 1.8*X + 32

- The median of the random variate "X" is given to be equal to "η". We can mathematically express it as:

                             P ( X ≤ η ) = 0.5

- Then the median of "Y" distribution can be expressed with the help of the relation given:

                             P ( Y ≤ 1.8*η + 32 )

- The left hand side of the inequality can be replaced by the linear relation:

                             P ( 1.8*X + 32 ≤ 1.8*η + 32 )

                             P ( 1.8*X ≤ 1.8*η )   ..... Cancel "1.8" on both sides.

                            P ( X ≤ η ) = 0.5 ...... Proven

Hence,

- Through conjecture we proved that: (1.8*η + 32) has to be the median of distribution "Y".

b)

- Recall that the definition of proportion (p) of distribution that lie within the 90th percentile. It can be mathematically expressed as the probability of random variate "X" at 90th percentile :

                             P ( X ≤ p_.9 ) = 0.9 ..... 90th percentile

- Now use the conjecture given as a linear expression random variate "Y",

          P ( Y ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 + 32 ) = P ( 1.8*X + 32 ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 + 32 )

                                                 = P ( 1.8*X ≤ 1.8*p_0.9 )

                                                 = P ( X  ≤ p_0.9 )

                                                 = 0.9

- So from conjecture we saw that the 90th percentile of "X" distribution is also the 90th percentile of "Y" distribution.

c)

- The more general relation between two random variate "Y" and "X" is given:

                            Y = aX + b

Where, a : is either a positive or negative constant.

- Denote, (np) as the 100th percentile of the X distribution, so the corresponding 100th percentile of the Y distribution would be : (a*np + b).

- When a is positive,

                   P ( Y ≤ a*p_% + b ) = P ( a*X + b ≤ a*p_% + b )

                                                 = P ( a*X ≤ a*p_% )

                                                 = P ( X  ≤ p_% )

                                                 = np_%        

- When a is negative,

                   P ( Y ≤ a*p_% + b ) = P ( a*X + b ≤ a*p_% + b )

                                                 = P ( a*X ≤ a*p_% )

                                                 = P ( X  ≥ p_% )

                                                 = 1 - np_%

assume that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15 use them in meetings or classes if 15 adult smartphones are ra
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is 0.1773.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that when adults with smartphones are randomly selected 15% use them in meetings or classes.

Also, 15 adult smartphones are randomly selected.

Let X = <em>Number of adults who use their smartphones</em>

The above situation can be represented through the binomial distribution;

P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r}\times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; n = 0,1,2,3,.......

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 15 adult smartphones

           r = number of success = at least 4

           p = probability of success which in our question is the % of adults

                 who use them in meetings or classes, i.e. 15%.

So, X ~ Binom(n = 15, p = 0.15)

Now, the probability that at least 4 of them use their smartphones is given by = P(X \geq 4)

P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X = 0) - P(X = 1) - P(X = 2) - P(X = 3)

= 1- \binom{15}{0}\times 0.15^{0} \times (1-0.15)^{15-0}-\binom{15}{1}\times 0.15^{1} \times (1-0.15)^{15-1}-\binom{15}{2}\times 0.15^{2} \times (1-0.15)^{15-2}-\binom{15}{3}\times 0.15^{3} \times (1-0.15)^{15-3}

= 1- (1\times 1\times 0.85^{15})-(15\times 0.15^{1} \times 0.85^{14})-(105 \times 0.15^{2} \times 0.85^{13})-(455 \times 0.15^{3} \times 0.85^{12})

= <u>0.1773</u>

Please please help me out with this problem
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

y = 3x - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{2+4}{2-0} = \frac{6}{2} = 3

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 4) ⇒ c = - 4

y = 3x - 4 ← equation of line
