The value of y when x is 8 is b. 2/3
Ivahew [28]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The correct option is b.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that y varies directly as x.

y\propto x

y=kx

It is given that y is 6 when x is 72.

6=k\times 72

Divide both sides by 72.

\frac{1}{12}=k

The constant of proportionality is \frac{1}{12}.

k=\frac{y}{x}

\frac{1}{12}=\frac{y}{8}

\frac{1}{12}\times 8=y

\frac{2}{3}=y

The value of y is \frac{2}{3}. The correct option is b.

the question in English


Draw a rectangle having the base congruent to the nine sevenths of the height.

Let

b-------> the base of rectangle

h-------> the height of rectangle

we know that

b=(9/7)*h-------> this is the equation to obtain the base of the rectangle for a given height

examples

1) for h=7 units

b=(9/7)*7-------->b=9 units

the dimensions are 9 units x 7 units------> see the attached figure

2) for h=5 units

b=(9/7)*5-------->b=(45/7) units

the dimensions are (45/7) units x 5 units

The answer in Italian

Facciamo

b-------> base del rettangolo

h-------> altezza del rettangolo

Noi sappiamo che

b=(9/7)*h-------> questa è l'equazione per ottenere la base del rettangolo per una determinata altezza

esempi

1) per h=7 units

b=(9/7)*7-------->b=9 units


le dimensioni sono 9 units x 7 units-----> vedere la figura allegata

2) per h=5 units

b=(9/7)*5-------->b=(45/7) units


le dimensioni sono (45/7) units x 5 units

Consider a sample with data values of 27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24. Compute the 20th, 25th, 65th, and 75th percentiles. 20
densk [106]

Answer:

P_{20} = 20 --- 20th percentile

P_{25} = 21.75  --- 25th percentile

P_{65} = 27.85   --- 65th percentile

P_{75} = 29.5   --- 75th percentile

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

27, 24, 21, 16, 30, 33, 28, and 24.

N = 8

First, arrange the data in ascending order:

Arranged data: 16, 21, 24, 24, 27, 28, 30, 33

Solving (a): The 20th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{20} = 20 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{20 * 9}{100}

P_{20} = \frac{180}{100}

P_{20} = 1.8th\ item

This is then calculated as:

P_{20} = 1st\ Item +0.8(2nd\ Item - 1st\ Item)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*(21 - 16)

P_{20} = 16 + 0.8*5

P_{20} = 16 + 4

P_{20} = 20

Solving (b): The 25th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{25} = 25 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{25 * 9}{100}

P_{25} = \frac{225}{100}

P_{25} = 2.25\ th

This is then calculated as:

P_{25} = 2nd\ item + 0.25(3rd\ item-2nd\ item)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(24-21)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.25(3)

P_{25} = 21 + 0.75

P_{25} = 21.75

Solving (c): The 65th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{65} = 65 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{65 * 9}{100}

P_{65} = \frac{585}{100}

P_{65} = 5.85\th

This is then calculated as:

P_{65} = 5th + 0.85(6th - 5th)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(28 - 27)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85(1)

P_{65} = 27 + 0.85

P_{65} = 27.85

Solving (d): The 75th percentile

This is calculated as:

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{N +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{8 +1}{100}

P_{75} = 75 * \frac{9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{75 * 9}{100}

P_{75} = \frac{675}{100}

P_{75} = 6.75th

This is then calculated as:

P_{75} = 6th + 0.75(7th - 6th)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(30- 28)

P_{75} = 28 + 0.75(2)

P_{75} = 28 + 1.5

P_{75} = 29.5
