Because 1/2 = 3/6
therefore you have to multiply 1/6 by 3 to achieve that.

Y = 2 - 4x input output
tester [92]

Every function is a rule which tells you how to associate inputs and outputs. The input, also known as independent variable, is often indicated with the letter x, while the output, also known as dependent variable, is often indicated with the letter y.

With this notation, we write y = f(x), read "y is a function of x", in the sense that the value of the variable y depends on the value of the variable x, and f is the function that tells you how y depends on x.

In your example, you have y = f(x) = 2-4x, which means "subtract four times the input (4x) from 2"

So, it doesn't matter which input you chose (i.e. the value for x), because you will always have to behave this way:

  • Pick an input value, x
  • Multiply it by four to get 4x
  • Subtract this number from 2: 2-4x

Here are some examples of explicit calculations: if I choose x = 2 and input, the workflow will be

  • Pick an input value, 2
  • Multiply it by four to get 8
  • Subtract this number from 2: 2-8=-6

So, if the input is 2, the output is -6

Similarly, if we choose x = 0 as input, we have:

  • Pick an input value, 0
  • Multiply it by four to get 0
  • Subtract this number from 2: 2-0=2

So, if the input is 0, the output is 2. And so on: for every possible value for x you have the correspondant value for y, with the function f telling you how to associate one with the other.

In a chemical plant, 24 holding tanks are used for final product storage. Four tanks are selected at random and without replacem
Damm [24]

Answer:

a) P(A) = 0,4607     or   P(A) = 46,07 %

b) P(B) = 0,7120   or 71,2 %

c) P(C) = 0,2055  or P(C) = 20,55 %

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use two concepts in solving this problem.

1.- The probability of an event (A) is for definition:

P(A) = Number of favorable events/ Total number of events FE/TE

2.- If A and B are complementary events ( the sum of them is equal to 1) then:

P(A) = 1 - P(B)

a) The total number of events is:

C ( 24,4) = 24! / 4! ( 24 - 4 )!    ⇒  C ( 24,4) = 24! / 4! * 20!

C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21*20! / 4! * 20!  

C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21/4*3*2

C ( 24,4) = 24*23*22*21/4*3*2    ⇒  C ( 24,4) =  10626

TE = 10626

Splitting the group of tanks in two 6 with h-v  and 24-6 (18) without h-v

we get that total number of favorable events is the product of:

FE = 6* C ( 18, 3)  = 6 * 18! / 3!*15!  =  18*17*16*15!/15!

FE =  4896

Then P(A) ( 1 tank in the sample contains h-v material is:

P(A) = 4896/10626

P(A) = 0,4607     or   P(A) = 46,07 %

b) P(B) will be the probability of at least 1 tank contains h-v

P(B) = 1 - P ( no one tank with h-v)

Again Total number of events is 10626

The total number of favorable events for the ocurrence of P is C (18,4)

FE = C (18,4) = 18! / 14!*4! = 18*17*16*15*14!/14!*4!

FE = 18*17*16*15/4*3*2  = 3060

Then P = 3060/10626

P = 0,2879

And the probability we are looking for is

P(B) = 1 - 0,2879

P(B) = 0,7120   or 71,2 %

c) We call P(C) the probability of finding exactly 1 tank with h-v and t-i

having 4 with t-i tanks is:

reasoning the same way but now having 4 with t-i (impurities) number of favorable events is:

FE = 6*4* C(14,2) = 24 * 14!/12!*2!

FE = 24* 14*13*12! / 12!*2

FE = 24*14*13/2    ⇒  FE = 2184

And again as the TE = 10626

P(C) = 2184/ 10626

P(C) = 0,2055  or P(C) = 20,55 %
