Mathematics

a constant of proportionality is a number you have to multiply x by to get y.

y=kx is the equation that expresses the proportionality of x and y

the constant of proportionality is k, so k=-5

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

<em>5 meters must be added to both the length and the width</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of a Rectangle</u>

A rectangle of width W and length L has an area calculated as:

A = W*L

Initially, the lot has a width of W1=25 m and a length of L1 = 120 m, thus its area is:

A_1 = 25 * 120 = 3,000~m^2

When adding x meters to the width and the length, the new area is:

A_2=(25+x)(120+x)

Operating:

A_2=x^2+145x+3,000

We now calculate the increased area by subtracting A2-A1:

A=x^2+145x+3,000-3,000

A=x^2+145x

We are given this area is 750 square meters, thus:

x^2+145x=750

Rearranging:

x^2+145x-750=0

Factoring:

(x-5)(x+150)=0

Solving:

x=5, x=-150

Taking the positive solution x=5:

5 meters must be added to both the length and the width

Answer:

a

 P(r n L) =  0.12  

b

 P(L) = 0.225

c

  P(\= r | L) =  0.4667

Step-by-step explanation:

The chance that it will rain is  P(r ) = 0.30

 The chance that it does not rain is P(\= r ) = 1 - P(r )

                                                             P(\= r ) = 1 -0.30

                                                              P(\= r ) = 0.70

The probability that the bus run late if it rains is  P(L | r) =  0.4

 The probability that the bus run late if it does not rain is   P(L | \= r) =  0.15

  Generally the probability that it will rain and the bus will be late is mathematically represented as

     P(r n L) =  P(L | r) *  P(r)

=>  P(r n L) =  0.4 *  0.30

=>  P(r n L) =  0.12  

Generally the probability that the bus will be late is mathematically represented as

     P(L) =  P(r) * P(L|r) + P(L | \= r) * P(\= r)

=>  P(L) =  0.30 * 0.4 +0.15*0.70

 =>  P(L) = 0.225

Generally given that the bus ran late,  the probability that the bus it was not raining is mathematically represented as

      P(\= r | L) =  1- P(r | L )

Here  P(r | L ) = \frac{P(r n L)}{P(L)}

=>   P(r | L ) = \frac{0.12}{0.225}

=>   P(r | L ) = 0.533

So

      P(\= r | L) =  1- 0.533

   =>   P(\= r | L) =  0.467
