Z is directly proportional to x, that means :
z = k.x, with k is the coefficient of proportionality:
Let calculate k:
When x = 5, z = 55. Plug in:
55 = k.5 → k=55/5 ; k =11
The value of z when = 12 is : z= kx; z = 11(12) and z = 132

Direct variation is of the form y=kx, in this case:

z=kx, we are given the point (5,55) so we can solve for the constant of variation

55=5k divide both sides by 5

11=k so our equation is:

z=11x, so when x=12

z=11(12)

z=132

Answer:

$\displaystyle P(A)=\frac{6}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probabilities</u>

The question describes an event where two counters are taken out of a bag that originally contains 11 counters, 5 of which are white.

Let's call W to the event of picking a white counter in any of the two extractions, and N when the counter is not white. The sample space of the random experience is

$\Omega=\{WW,WN,NW,NN\}$

We are required to compute the probability that only one of the counters is white. It means that the favorable options are

$A=\{WN,NW\}$

Let's calculate both probabilities separately. At first, there are 11 counters, and 5 of them are white. Thus the probability of picking a white counter is

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{11}$
