Answer:

C) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$2y=8x$

The above equation represents proportional relationship.

To find the constant of proportionality.

Solution:

The equation representing proportional relationship is given by:

$y=kx$

where $k$ represents constant of proportionality.

So, in order to find the value of $k$ for the given proportionality relationship, we will solve for $y$

We have:

$2y=8x$

Solving for $y$

Dividing both sides by 2.

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{8x}{2}$

$y=4x$

∴ $k=4$

Thus, the constant of proportionality = 4.

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

$P(A_{1}|B ) =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For mutually exclusive events as A1, A2, A3, etc, Bayes' theorem states:

$P(A|B)= \frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$

P(A|B) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event A occurring given that B is true.

P(B|A) is a conditional probability: the likelihood of event B occurring given that A is true.

P(A) is the probability that A occurs

P(B) is the probability that B occurs

For this problem:

A1 is the probability that the student knows the answer

A2 is the probability that the student guesses the answer

B is the probability that the student answer correctly

$P(A_{1})=p \\P(A_{2})=1-p \\P(B|A_{1})=1 \\P(B|A_{2})=\frac{1}{m} \\P(B)= P(A_{1})P(B|A_{1}) + P(A_{2})P(B|A_{2})= p+\frac{1-p}{m} \\$

P(B|A₁) means the probability that the answer is correct when he knew the answer

P(B|A₂) means the probability that the answer is correct when he guessed the answer

P(A₁|B) means the probability that he knew the answer when the answer was correct

Replacing everything in the Bayes' theorem you get:

$P(A_{1}|B)= \frac{P(B|A_{1})P(A_{1})}{P(B)}=\frac{(1)(p)}{p+\frac{1-p}{m}} =\frac{mp}{mp+1-p} =\frac{mp}{1+p(m-1)}$

(7.02) classify each sequence as arithmetic, geometric, or neither.

Digiron [165]

Answer:

geometric

arithmetic

Step-by-step explanation:

4/9,4/3,4,12,36

Multiply each term by 3 to get the next term. There is a common ratio between terms, so it geometric.

0,1,2,3,4,5,6

Add 1 to each term to get the next term. Since there is a common difference between terms, it is an arithmetic sequence.

-10,-6,-2,2,6,10

Add 4 to each term to get the next term. Since there is a common difference between terms, it is an arithmetic sequence.

Action figures are $8 a piece at a toy store. The toy store sold 26 action figures today. How much money did the toy store recei

bulgar [2K]

The toy store received $208 from selling action figures.

Knowing that each action figure is $8 in the toy store, we can multiply that by the quantity of action figures sold to get the total amount of money received.

26 times $8 is $208.
