We are asked in the problem to determine the inverse of the relation y = 3x + 12. first step is to express the equation in terms of y, that is y -12 = 3x, then exchange the places of x and y, that is x - 12 = 3y. This is the final answer

Answer:

Given the relation:

$y=3x+12$

Step 1.

Interchange the variable x and y.

⇒ $x= 3y+12$

Step 2.

Solve for y:

Subtract 12 from both sides we have;

$x-12= 3y$

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

$\frac{x-12}{3} =y$

$y= \frac{x-12}{3}$

therefore, the inverse function of the given relation is $y = \frac{x-12}{3}$

What is the common difference or common ratio of the sequence 2, 5, 8, 11, ...?

dem82 [27]

Answer:
B. 3

Explanation:
2 + 3 = 5
5 + 3 = 8
8 + 3 = 11

This is how you find the common rate between a sequence of numbers. If you find how to get to on number, you see if it works on another, and so on. If it does, that is the rate.

A survey report states that 70% of adult women visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years. If 20

irakobra [83]

Answer:

a) 0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

b) 0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each women, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years, or they do not. The probability of a woman visiting their doctor at least once in this period is independent of any other women. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

70% of adult women visit their doctors for a physical examination at least once in two years.

This means that $p = 0.7$

20 adult women

This means that $n = 20$

(a) Fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

This is:

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14)$

In which

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 14) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{14}.(0.3)^{6} = 0.1916$

$P(X = 15) = C_{20,15}.(0.7)^{15}.(0.3)^{5} = 0.1789$

$P(X = 16) = C_{20,16}.(0.7)^{16}.(0.3)^{4} = 0.1304$

$P(X = 17) = C_{20,14}.(0.7)^{17}.(0.3)^{3} = 0.0716$

$P(X = 18) = C_{20,18}.(0.7)^{18}.(0.3)^{2} = 0.0278$

$P(X = 19) = C_{20,19}.(0.7)^{19}.(0.3)^{1} = 0.0068$

$P(X = 20) = C_{20,20}.(0.7)^{20}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.0008$

$P(X \geq 14) = P(X = 14) + P(X = 15) + P(X = 16) + P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.1916 + 0.1789 + 0.1304 + 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.6079$

$P(X < 14) = 1 - P(X \geq 14) = 1 - 0.6079 = 0.3921$

0.3921 = 39.21% probability that fewer than 14 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

(b) At least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20)$

From the values found in item (a).

$P(X \geq 17) = P(X = 17) + P(X = 18) + P(X = 19) + P(X = 20) = 0.0716 + 0.0278 + 0.0068 + 0.0008 = 0.107$

0.107 = 10.7% probability that at least 17 of them have had a physical examination in the past two years.

15/30 = n/34 round to the nearest tenth.

avanturin [10]

The equation given in the question has to be answered to the nearest tenth. The only thing that one should be careful about is the cross multiplication part. Other than that there is no difficulty in the given problem. Now let us get down to the equation in the question.
15/30 = n/34
30 * n = 15 * 34
30n = 510
n = 510/30
= 51/3
= 17
So the value of the unknown variable "n" comes out to be 17.
