Answer:

When x= 7/3, y = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two variables are inversely related, it means that if one variable increases, the other one decreases. This relationship can be expressed as:

y = k/x, where "x" and "y" are variables and "k" the proportionality constant.

As the problem states, if y= 7 then x = 2/3. Now we can find the value of the constant "k"

7 = k/(2/3) ⇒ 7 x (2/3) = k ⇒ 14/3 = k.

So the equation for "x" and "y" ⇒ y = 14/3x

Finally you have to replace x = 7/3

⇒ y = 14/[3 x (7/3)] ⇒ y = 2.

Summarizing, when x = 7/3, y = 2.

Y=k/x
7=k/(2/3)
7=k(3/2)
times both sides by 2/3
14/3=k

y=(14/3)/x
y=(14/3)/(7/3)
y=(14/3)(3/7)
y=2

Answer:

99% CI:

$-4.637\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq 3.737$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate a 99%CI for the difference of means for the vegan and the omnivore.

First, we have to estimate the standard deviation

$s_{Md}=\sqrt{\frac{2MSE}{n_h}}$

The MSE can be calculated as

$MSE=\frac{(SSE_1+SSE_2)}{df} =\frac{(n_1s_1)^2+(n_2*s_2)^2}{n_1+n_2-2}\\\\MSE=\frac{(85*1.05)^2+(96*1.20)^2}{85+96-2}=\frac{7965.56+13272.04}{179} =118.65$

The weighted sample size nh can be calculated as

$n_h=\frac{2}{1/n_1+1/n_2}=\frac{2}{1/85+1/96}=\frac{2}{0.0222} =90.16$

The standard deviation then becomes

$s_{Md}=\sqrt{\frac{2MSE}{n_h}}=\sqrt{\frac{2*118.65}{90.16}}=\sqrt{2.632} =1.623$

The z-value for a 99% confidence interval is z=2.58.

The difference between means is

$\Delta M=M_v-M_o=5.10-5.55=-0.45$

Then the confidence interval can be constructed as

$\Delta M-z*s_{Md}\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq \Delta M+z*s_{Md}\\\\ -0.45-2.58*1.623\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq -0.450+2.58*1.623\\\\-0.450-4.187\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq-0.450+4.187\\\\-4.637\leq\mu_v-\mu_o\leq 3.737$

Answer:

Sorry if this doesnt make help:

Step-by-step explanation:

When two figures are similar, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. To determine if the shapes are similar, compare their corresponding sides.
