Answer:

y/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x+3=y+2

------ --------

3 2

Using cross products

2(x+3) = 3(y+2)

Distribute

2x+6 = 3y+6

Subtract 6 from each side

2x+6-6 = 3y+6-6

2x= 3y

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 = 3y/2

x = 3/2 y

We want to find x/3

Divide each side by 3

x/3 = 3/2 y * 1/3

x/3 = 1/2 y

A circle is the collection of points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane.

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

True - The above statement is true

A circle is the collection of points in a plane that are the same distance from a given point in the plane.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em><u>A circle is the set of points in a plane that are a given distance from a given point in the plane. The given point is the center of the circle, and the given distance is the radius.</u></em>
In other words; A circle is the set of points in a plane that are equidistant from a given center point. Therefore; the locus of points at a fixed distance, d, from the point, P is a circle with the given point P as its center and d as its radius.

A bacterial culture starts with 500 bacteria and doubles in size every half-hour.

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a). 32000

b). $T_{t}=500\times 4^{t}$

c). 1259

Step-by-step explanation:

Growth of a bacteria is always exponential. Therefore, population of the bacteria is represented by the the geometric sequence.

Sum of the bacterial population after t hours will be represented by

$T_{n}=ar^{n}$

Where a = population at the start

r = ratio with the population is growing

n = time or duration of the growth in one hour

a). Population of 500 bacteria gets doubled after half an hour.

Or gets 4 times after an hour

This sequence will have a common ratio r = 4

and initial population a = 500

Therefore, population of the bacteria after 3 hours will be

$T_{3}=500\times 4^{3}$

$T_{3}=32000$

b). After t hours number of bacteria will be represented by

$T_{t}=500\times 4^{t}$

c). We have to calculate the population after 40 minutes.

That means duration 't' = 40 minutes of $\frac{2}{3}$ hours

By the formula,

$T_{\frac{2}{3}}=500\times 4^{\frac{2}{3}}$

$T_{\frac{2}{3}}=1259.92$ ≈ 1259

Therefore, number of bacteria after 40 minutes will be 1259.

A survey was conducted that asked 1003 1003 people how many books they had read in the past year. results indicated that x overb

kirill115 [55]

The confidence interval is

$10.5\pm1.35 = (9.15, 11.85)$ . This means that we can be 99% confident that the mean number of books people read lies between 9.15 and 11.85.

To find the confidence interval, we first find the z-score associated with it:

Convert 99% to a decimal: 0.99
Subtract from 1: 1-0.99=0.01
Divide by 2: 0.01/2 = 0.005
Subtract from 1: 1-0.005 = 0.995

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score between 2.57 and 2.58. Since both are equally far from this value we will use 2.575.

We calculate the margin of error using

$ME=z*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}
\\
\\=2.575*\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}}=1.35$

This means that the confidence interval is
$10.5\pm1.35$

The lower limit is given by 10.5-1.35 = 9.15.
The upper limit is given by 10.5+1.35 = 11.85

How to find median with even amount of numbers?

Paladinen [302]

Sort the numbers in ascending or descending order, then eliminate the greatest and least numbers until you're left with the middle two. The median is the average of the last two numbers.

For example, the median for the set $\{2,10,-1,4\}=\{-1,2,4,10\}$ is 3 because the middle two numbers are 2 and 4, and their average is $\dfrac{2+4}2=3$ .
