Answer: 20-2x/-4

Step-by-step explanation:

To actually solve for y as a number, you need two equations.

For this case move the 2x to the other side, making the equation -4y=20-2x.

Then divide by -4 on each side making the equation y=20-2x/-4.

Answer:

y = 20-2x /-4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2x - 4y =20

y ?

Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation

2x - 2x -4y = 20 - 2x

-4y = 20 - 2x

Divide both sides by -4

-4y/-4 = 20-2x / -4

y = 20-2x /-4

alexdok [17]

Answer:

So, exists 5527200 different leadership structures.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that four members from a 50 person committee are to be randomly selected to serve as chairperson, vicechairperson, secretary, and treasurer. The first perosn to be selected is the chairperson, the second to be selected as vice chairperson, the third is secretary, and the fourth is treasurer.

Since the order of the people is important to us, we have the following:

50·49·48·47=5527200

So, exists 5527200 different leadership structures.

Mathew is watching a car race on TV. His favorite car covered 10 laps of 3.6 miles each in 18 minutes. What is average speed of

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

In the given question, all the necessary information's are already provided. Using these information's it is easy to find the average speed of the car in miles per hour. It is given that the car covers 10 laps in 18 minutes and each lap is 3.6 miles in length.
Total distance covered by the car = (10 * 3.6) miles
   = 36 miles
Now we have to convert the time from minutes to hours. So
18 minutes = 18/60 hours
   = 3/10 hours
Now we can easily calculate the average speed of the favorite car of Mathew.
Average Speed = 36 * (10/3) miles/hour
   = 120 miles/ hour

An industrial sewing machine uses ball bearings that are targeted to have a diameter of 0.75 inch. The lower and upper specifica

Natalija [7]

Answer:

(a) Probability that a ball bearing is between the target and the actual mean is 0.2734.

(b) Probability that a ball bearing is between the lower specification limit and the target is 0.226.

(c) Probability that a ball bearing is above the upper specification limit is 0.0401.

(d) Probability that a ball bearing is below the lower specification limit is 0.0006.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that an industrial sewing machine uses ball bearings that are targeted to have a diameter of 0.75 inch. The lower and upper specification limits under which the ball bearings can operate are 0.74 inch and 0.76 inch, respectively.

Past experience has indicated that the actual diameter of the ball bearings is approximately normally distributed, with a mean of 0.753 inch and a standard deviation of 0.004 inch.

Let X = diameter of the ball bearings

SO, X ~ Normal( $\mu=0.753,\sigma^{2} =0.004^{2}$ )

The z-score probability distribution for normal distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\mu$ = population mean = 0.753 inch

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 0.004 inch

(a) Probability that a ball bearing is between the target and the actual mean is given by = P(0.75 < X < 0.753) = P(X < 0.753 inch) - P(X $\leq$ 0.75 inch)

P(X < 0.753) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ < $\frac{0.753-0.753}{0.004} } }$ ) = P(Z < 0) = 0.50

P(X $\leq$ 0.75) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{0.75-0.753}{0.004} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -0.75) = 1 - P(Z < 0.75)

= 1 - 0.7734 = 0.2266

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0 and x = 0.75 in the z table which has an area of 0.50 and 0.7734 respectively.

Therefore, P(0.75 inch < X < 0.753 inch) = 0.50 - 0.2266 = 0.2734.

(b) Probability that a ball bearing is between the lower specification limit and the target is given by = P(0.74 < X < 0.75) = P(X < 0.75 inch) - P(X $\leq$ 0.74 inch)

P(X < 0.75) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ < $\frac{0.75-0.753}{0.004} } }$ ) = P(Z < -0.75) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.75)

= 1 - 0.7734 = 0.2266

P(X $\leq$ 0.74) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ $\leq$ $\frac{0.74-0.753}{0.004} } }$ ) = P(Z $\leq$ -3.25) = 1 - P(Z < 3.25)

= 1 - 0.9994 = 0.0006

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.75 and x = 3.25 in the z table which has an area of 0.7734 and 0.9994 respectively.

Therefore, P(0.74 inch < X < 0.75 inch) = 0.2266 - 0.0006 = 0.226.

(c) Probability that a ball bearing is above the upper specification limit is given by = P(X > 0.76 inch)

P(X > 0.76) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ > $\frac{0.76-0.753}{0.004} } }$ ) = P(Z > -1.75) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 1.75)

= 1 - 0.95994 = 0.0401

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.75 in the z table which has an area of 0.95994.

(d) Probability that a ball bearing is below the lower specification limit is given by = P(X < 0.74 inch)

P(X < 0.74) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} } }$ < $\frac{0.74-0.753}{0.004} } }$ ) = P(Z < -3.25) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 3.25)

= 1 - 0.9994 = 0.0006

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 3.25 in the z table which has an area of 0.9994.
