Given:
The graph of a proportional relationship.
To find:
The constant of proportionality, the value of y when x is 24 and the value of x when y is 108.
Solution:
If y is directly proportional to x, then
...(i)
Where, k is the constant of proportionality.
The graph of proportional relationship passes through the point (5,15).
Substituting x=5 and y=15 in (i), we get
Therefore, the constant of proportionality is 3.
Substituting k=3 in (i) to get the equation of the proportional relationship.
...(ii)
Substituting x=24 in (ii), we get
Therefore, the value of y is 72 when x is 24.
Substituting y=108 in (ii), we get
Therefore, the value of x is 36 when y is 108.
Answer:
Probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years.
So, firstly according to Central limit theorem the z score probability distribution for sample means is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = average age of the random sample of horses with colic = 12 yrs
= average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic = 10 yrs
= standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic = 8 yrs
n = sample of horses = 60
So, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is given by = P(
12)
P(
12) = P(
) = P(Z
1.94) = 1 - P(Z < 1.94)
= 1 - 0.97381 = 0.0262
Therefore, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.
