8 0

Y = k/x
5 = k/8
k = 5 x 8 = 40
Therefore,
y = 40/14 = 2.86

A group of dental researchers are testing the effects of acidic drinks on dental crowns. They have five containers of crowns lab

mestny [16]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {V} & {W} & {X} & {Y} & {Z} & P(x) & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} \ \end{array}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$S = \{V,W,X,Y,Z\}$

$n(S) = 5$

Required

The probability model

To do this, we simply calculate the probability of each container.

So, we have:

$P(V) = \frac{n(V)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20$

$P(W) = \frac{n(W)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20$

$P(X) = \frac{n(X)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20$

$P(Y) = \frac{n(Y)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20$

$P(Z) = \frac{n(Z)}{n(S)} = \frac{1}{5} = 0.20$

So, the probability model is:

$\begin{array}{cccccc}{x} & {V} & {W} & {X} & {Y} & {Z} & P(x) & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} & {0.20} \ \end{array}$

What’s the answer and give an explanation.

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

14 = x and 2.5 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

For ABCD - the top is 8 and the sides are 11. 11 minus 8 is 3. 11 plus 3 equals 14, that’s x.

For GHIJ - the bottom is 8 and both sides are 5.5. So 8 minus 5.5 is 2.5. That’s y.

How to solve this equation 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a

SSSSS [86.1K]

To solve 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a :

1) combine like terms: 7-19 - 2a = -2 + 3a, and then -10 = 5a

2) solve this equation for a: a = -10/5 = -2.

The solution of 7-2a-5-14=-2+3a is a = -2.
