Find the value of y for a given value of x, if y varies directly with x

1 answer:

6 0

It is said that y varies directly to x which can be written as follows:

y = kx

where k is the constant of proportionality.

To be able to solve the problem, we need to determine the value of k. We do as follows:

y = kx
-252 = k(84)
k = -3

y = -3x
y = -3(74)
y = -222

Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Answer:

the standard error of the proportion is 0.0272

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that if the sample size is greater than 5% of the entire population, a finite population correction factor (fpc) is multiplied with the standard error :

fpc = $\sqrt{\frac{N -n}{N -1} }$
