The variable z is directly proportional to x, and inversely proportional to y. when x is 16 and y is 17, z has the value 11.2941

17647059. what is the value of z when x= 22, and y= 26

Lets suppose k is the constant of proportionality.

z = k * x / y

when x is 16 and y is 17, z has the value 11.294117647059

11.294117647059 = k * 16/17

Multiplying 17 on both sides

11.294117647059 * 17 = k * 16

192 = k * 16

Dividing 16 on both sides

192/16 = k

k = 12

Now when x= 22, and y= 26

z = k * x/y

z = 12 * 22 / 26

z = 10.1538461538 : Answer

Hope it will help :)

Binomial distribution can be used because the situation satisfies all the following conditions:1. Number of trials is known and remains constant (n)2. Each trial is Bernoulli (i.e. exactly two possible outcomes) (success/failure)3. Probability is known and remains constant throughout the trials (p)4. All trials are random and independent of the othersThe number of successes, x, is then given by $P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$ where $C(n,x)=\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$
Here we're given
p=0.10 [ success = defective ]
n=3

(a) x=0
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,0)0.1^0(1-0.1)^{3-0}$
$=1(1)(0.729)$
$=0.729$

(b) x=2
$P(x)=C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)$
$=0.027$

(c) x ≥ 2
$P(x)=\sum_{x=2}^3C(n,x)p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$=P(2)+P(3)$
$=C(n,2)p^2(1-p)^{n-2}+C(n,3)p^3(1-p)^{n-3}$
$=C(3,2)0.1^2(1-0.1)^{3-2}+C(3,3)0.1^3(1-0.1)^{3-3}$
$=3(0.01)(0.9)+1(0.001)1$
$=0.027+0.001$
$=0.028$

Alex777 [14]

4, 5, and 7 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem right away.

We construct a number $x$ such that taking it mod 4, 5, and 7 leaves the desired remainders:

$x=3\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6$

Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv3\cdot5\cdot7\equiv105\equiv1\pmod4$

so we multiply the first term by 3.

Taken mod 5, the first and last terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv4\cdot2\cdot7\equiv51\equiv1\pmod5$

so we multiply the second term by 2.

Taken mod 7, the first two terms vanish and we have

$x\equiv4\cdot5\cdot6\equiv120\equiv1\pmod7$

so we multiply the last term by 7.

Now,

$x=3^2\cdot5\cdot7+4\cdot2^2\cdot7+4\cdot5\cdot6^2=1147$

By the CRT, the system of congruences has a general solution

$n\equiv1147\pmod{4\cdot5\cdot7}\implies\boxed{n\equiv27\pmod{140}}$

or all integers $27+140k$ , $k\in\mathbb Z$ , the least (and positive) of which is 27.
