If y varies inversely with 2.5x, and y=5.6 and x=30, write an equation to represent this relationship

1 answer:

3 0

Let the constant of variation be c.
We are given that y varies inversely with 2.5x, this means that:
y = (c) / (2.5x)
This can be written as:
2.5xy = c

Now, we a re given that y = 5.6 at x = 30.
Substitute with these values in the equation to get the value of c as follows:
2.5xy = c
2.5(30)(5.6) = c
c = 420

Therefore, the equation that describes the relation is:
2.5xy = 420

The distribution of resistance for resistors of a certain type is known to be normal, with 10% of all resistors having a resista

baherus [9]

Answer:

The mean is 9.65 ohms and the standard deviation is 0.2742 ohms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

10% of all resistors having a resistance exceeding 10.634 ohms

This means that when X = 10.634, Z has a pvalue of 1-0.1 = 0.9. So when X = 10.634, Z = 1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{10.634 - \mu}{\sigma}$
