Answer:

y = 29/4

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

<u>To find the value of y</u>

we have,

3/(y - 5) = 15/(y + 4)

3(y + 4) = 15(y - 5)

(y + 4) = 5(y - 5) [dividing both sides by 3]

y + 4 = 5y - 25

5y - 25 = y + 4

5y - y = 4 + 25

4y = 29

y = 29/4

Therefore the value of y = 29/4

Answer: 1406

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Table :

Admissions Probability

1,040 0.3

1,320 0.2

1,660 0.5

Now, the expected number of admissions for the fall semester is given by :-

$E(x)=p_1x_1+p_2x_2+p_3x_3\\\\\Rightarrow\ E(x)=0.3\times1040+0.2\times1320+0.5\times1660\\\\\Rightarrow\ E(x)=1406$

Hence, the expected number of admissions for the fall semester = 1406

Answer:

Slope is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find slope, we need to take the change in the y value, and the change in the x value, and then divide them. This may be confusing, so here is just 3 formulas in 3 seperate steps that we use to find it:

Step 1 - $x_2-x_1=change_.in_.x$
