The amount of resistance, y, in a circuit varies inversely to the current, x, in the circuit. When 10 ohms of resistance are use

d in the circuit, 12 amperes of current are present. When 5 ohms of resistance are used in the same circuit, 24 amperes of current are present. How many ohms of resistance are used in the circuit when 15 amperes of current are present? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth, if necessary.

Answer:

8 ohms

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies inversely as x then the equation relating them is

y = \frac{k}x} ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use either of the given conditions

y = 10 when x = 12 or y = 5 when x = 24, hence

k = 10 × 12 = 120

y = \frac{120}{x} ← equation of variation

when x = 15, then

y = \frac{120}{15} = 8

Points X and Z are on a number line, and point Y partitions
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The coordinate of Z is 13.36.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the statement, we have the following information:

\frac{XY}{XZ} = \frac{5}{12} (1)

\frac{YZ}{XZ} = \frac{7}{12} (2)

X = 0.4 (3)

Y = 5.8 (4)

From (2), we have the following expression:

YZ = \frac{7}{12}\cdot XZ

Y-Z =\frac{7}{12}\cdot (X-Z)

Y - Z = \frac{7}{12}\cdot X -\frac{7}{12}\cdot Z

Y-\frac{7}{12}\cdot X = Z-\frac{7}{12}\cdot Z

\frac{5}{12}\cdot Z = Y-\frac{7}{12}\cdot X

5\cdot Z = 12\cdot Y-7\cdot X

Z = \frac{12}{5}\cdot Y-\frac{7}{5}\cdot X (5)

If we know that Y = 5.8 and X = 0.4, then the coordinate of Z is:

Z = \frac{12}{5}\cdot (5.8)-\frac{7}{5}\cdot (0.4)

Z = 13.36

The coordinate of Z is 13.36.

Sample size: A researcher is trying to decide how many people to survey. Which of the following sample sizes will result in a co
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a researcher is trying to decide how many people to survey.

We have confidence intervals are intervals with middle value as the mean and on either side margin of error.

Confidence interval = Mean ± Margin of error

Thus confidence interval width depends on margin of error.

Margin of error = Critical value *\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} }

Thus for the same confidence level and std deviation we find margin of error is inversely proportional to square root of sample size.

Hence for small n we get wide intervals.

So if sample size = 300, the researcher will get wider confidence interval
