Y varies inversely with x.
⇒ y = k/x

When y = 5, x = 50
5 = k/50
k = 50 x 5 = 250

Equation: y = 250/x

When x = 10
y = 250/10 = 25

Answer: k = 250, y = 25 when x = 10

jeyben [28]

Answer:

(a) 0.119

(b) 0.1699

Solution:

As per the question:

Mean of the emission, \mu = 11.7 million ponds/day

Standard deviation, \sigma = 2.8 million ponds/day

Now,

(a) The probability for the water pollution to be at least 15 million pounds/day:

P(X\geq 15) = P(\frac{X - /mu}{\sigma} \geq \frac{15 - 11.7}{2.8})

P(X\geq 15) = P(Z \geq 1.178)

P(X\geq 15) = 1 - P(Z < 1.178)

Using the Z score table:

P(X\geq 15) = 1 - 0.881 = 0.119

The required probability is 0.119

(b) The probability when the water pollution is in between 6.2 and 9.3 million pounds/day:

P(6.2 < X < 9.3) = P(\frac{6.2 - 11.7}{2.8} < \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} < \frac{9.3 - 11.7}{2.8})

P(6.2 < X < 9.3) = P(- 1.96 < Z < - 0.86)

P(6.2 < X < 9.3) = P(- 1.96 < Z < - 0.86)

P(Z < - 0.86) - P(Z < - 1.96)

Now, using teh Z score table:

0.1949 - 0.025 = 0.1699

The box is 2.1 feet long,2.7 feet wide and 3.2 feet high. What is closest to the total surface area of the box?
galina1969 [7]
So the actually surface area can be split up by dif parts....meaning
2 side is 2.7*3.2*2 = 17.28
2 side is 3.2*2.1*2 = 13.44
2 sides is 2.1*2.7*2=  11.34

then u add up the areas = 42.06ft^2

then u look for what is the clossest...and that is 42gt^2

If the diameter of a wheel is 0.5 meters, then the radius of the wheel is how many centimeters
NISA [10]
Radius = diameter x 0.5
0.5x0.5 = 0.25meter

0.25 meter x 100 cm (100cm in one meter) = 25cm

also for future reference circumference = pie x r squared.

Write the product as a trinomial.(k – 1)(k – 4)
SashulF [63]
(k - 1)(k - 4)

Use FOIL to solve this.

First
k * k
Outer
k * -4
Inner
-1 * k
Last
-1 * -4

k^2 - 4k - 1k + 4

k^2 - 5k + 4 is the trinomial.
