The value of x is 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

In a probability distribution, probability should be between 0  and 1. The probabilities add up to one.

Given probabilities are:

\frac{1}{10}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{2}, x

The sum of these probabilities will be equal to 1.

So,

To find x,

\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{2}+x = 1\\\frac{1+2+5}{10}+x=1\\\frac{8}{10}+x=1\\x= 1- \frac{8}{10}\\x = 1- \frac{4}{5}\\x= \frac{5-4}{5}\\x=\frac{1}{5}

The value of x is 1/5

A veterinarian will prescribe an antibiotic to a dog based on its weight. The effective dosage of the antibiotic is given by d ≥
gregori [183]

Answer:

B) (35, 260)

Step-by-step explanation:

A veterinarian will prescribe an antibiotic to a dog based on its weight. The effective dosage of the antibiotic is given by d ≥ 1∕5w2, where d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds. Which of the following ordered pairs gives an effective dosage of antibiotics for a 35-pound dog?

A) (35, 240)

B) (35, 260)

C) (260, 35)

D) (240, 35)

Ordered pairs is composed of pairs, usually an x coordinate and a y coordinate. It refers to a location of a point on the coordinate. It matches numbers to functions or relations.

Given the relation between d is dosage in milligrams and w is the dog's weight in pounds as d ≥ 1∕5w²

For a 35 pound dog (i.e w = 35 pound). The dosage is given as:

d ≥ 1∕5(35)² ≥ 245 milligrams.

For an ordered pair (x, y), x is the independent variable (input) and y is the dependent variable (output).

The dog weight is the independent variable and the dosage is the dependent variable.

From the ordered pairs, the best option is (35, 260) because 260 ≥ 240

A vertical shift of 3 units down and a horizontal shift of 2 units to the right
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
Depends on what the coordinates are to get an exact answer but you go down on your y axis 3 units (so if it was at 0 it would become -3) and to the right on your x axis, which means the numbers are increasing ( so if it was 3 it would become 5.)
