Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition y = 25 when x = $\frac{1}{5}$ , then

25 = $\frac{k}{\frac{1}{5} }$ = 5k ( divide both sides by 5 )

5 = k

y = $\frac{5}{x}$ ← equation of variation

When x = 5, then

y = $\frac{5}{5}$ = 1

Answer:

Follows are the solution to the given point:

Step-by-step explanation:

For option A:

In the first point let z be the number of heads which is available on the first two trails of tosses so, the equation is:

$P(X=k | z=2 ) = \begin{pmatrix} 10-2\\ k-2\end{pmatrix} (\frac{1}{2})^{k-2} (\frac{1}{2})^{10-k}$

$= \begin{pmatrix} 8\\k-2\end{pmatrix} (\frac{1}{2})^{k-2} (\frac{1}{2})^{10-k} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\\\$

$k= 2,3..........10$ For option B:

$P(X=k | X \geq 2 ) = \sum^{10}_{i=2} \begin{pmatrix} 10-i\\ k-i\end{pmatrix} (\frac{1}{2})^{k-i} (\frac{1}{2})^{10-k}$

$k= 2,3, 4.........10$

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

3.38/6.21=54.428% (0.54428)

Step-by-step explanation:

biocapacity of grazing land of 0.85 ha/person+biocapacity of forest land of 2.53 ha/person

2.53+0.85=3.38

the percentage of biocapacity from grazing and forest land

3.38/6.21=54.428% (0.54428)

Hi there
The formula of the future value of annuity due is
Fv=pmt [(1+r)^(n)-1)÷r]×(1+r)
Fv future value?
PMT payment 9000
R interest rate 0.04
N time 75−51=24 years
So
Fv=9,000×((((1+0.04)^(24)−1)
÷(0.04))×(1+0.04))
=365,813.17
