Given the proportion 8/5 = 2/m-3 what is the value of m

Mathematics

m_a_m_a [10]3 years ago
8 0

Hey there! :)

Answer:

m = 4.25, or 17/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the proportion:

\frac{8}{5}= \frac{2}{m-3}

Cross multiply:

8(m - 3) = 5 · 2

Distribute the 8:

8m - 8(3) = 10

8m - 24 = 10

Add 24 to both sides:

8m = 34

Divide both sides by 8:

8m/8 = 34/8

m = 4.25, or 17/4.

The probability that an individual is left-handed is 0.12. in a class of 39 students, what is the probability of finding five le
Snezhnost [94]

We are given:

p = probability = 0.12<span>
n = total students = 39 </span>

x = left handers = 5<span>
u = mean = p* n = 4.68 
σ = standard dev = √ ( n*p*(1-p)) = √ ( 39 * 0.12 * 0.88 ) = 2.03</span>

 

Calculating for the z score:

z = (x – u) / σ<span>
z = (5 – 4.68) / 2.03</span>

<span>z = 0.1576 = 0.16

</span>

Using the standard tables for z, the p value is:

p value = 0.5636 = 56.36%

 

Hence there is a 56.36% chance.
