If it varies inversely, then their product is the same. So,
10*2 = y*8
20 = y*8
/8 /8
5/2 = y
y = 2.5

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{inverse proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies inversely with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad y=\cfrac{k}{x}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=10\\
x=2
\end{cases}\implies 10=k2\implies \cfrac{10}{2}=k\implies 5=k
\\\\\\
therefore\qquad \boxed{y=\cfrac{5}{x}}
\\\\\\
\textit{when x = 8, what is \underline{y}?}\qquad y=\cfrac{5}{8}$

In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen

Lesechka [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - In selecting a sulfur concrete for roadway construction in regions that experience heavy frost, it is important that the chosen concrete has a low value of thermal conductivity in order to minimize subsequent damage due to changing temperatures. Suppose two types of concrete, a graded aggregate and a no-fines aggregate, are being considered for a certain road. The table below summarizes data on thermal conductivity from an experiment carried out to compare the two types of concrete.

Type ni xi si

Graded 42 0.486 0.187

No-fines 42 0.359 0.158

To find - a. Formulate the above in terms of a hypothesis testing problem.

b. Give the test statistic and its reference distribution (under the null hypothesis).

c. Report the p-value of the test statistic and use it to assess the evidence that this sample provides on the scientific question of difference in mean conductivity of the two materials at the 5% level of significance.

Proof -

a.)

Hypothesis testing problem :

H0 : There is significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

H1 : There is no significant difference between mean conductivity for the graded concrete and mean conductivity for the no fines concrete.

Test statistic :

$Z = \frac{x_{1} - x_{2} }{\sqrt{\frac{s_{1} ^{2} }{n_{1}} + \frac{s_{2}^{2} }{n_{2}} } }$

$Z = \frac{0.486 - 0.359 }{\sqrt{\frac{0.03496 }{42} + \frac{0.02496 }{42} } }$

$Z = \frac{0.127 }{\sqrt{0.001468}}$

$Z = \frac{0.127 }{0.0377}$

⇒Z(cal) = 3.3687

Z(tab) = 1.96

As Z (cal) > Z(tab)

So, we reject H0 at 5% Level of significance

p-value = 0.99962

Hence

There is significant difference in mean conductivity at the two materials.

25, 8, 10, 35, 5, 45, 40, 30, 20 What is the upper quartile of the data set above?A.35

Vlada [557]

<span>An upper quartile is the range of numbers above the median in a set. Thus, the numbers have to be rearranged mentally or on paper. Fortunately, there are an odd set of numbers, so one number, 25, is the median. The upper quartile is 30, 35, 40, 45.</span>

What are scale drawings? can you give an example?

Alecsey [184]

Scale Drawings are drawings that are used to show the true size of something.
Scale drawings are most commonly used in maps, or in large scale drawings. These show the scale of something. It may show that 1cm is equivalent to 1km, which would allow someone to measure the map to see how far the distance it. It also allows a map to be made smaller, and less detailed- making it often easier to read.
Hope this helps :)
