Answer:

k = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitue y = 12, x = 24 into y = kx.

12 = k × 24

24k = 12

k = 12 ÷ 24

k = 0.5 (final answer)

Answer:

the value of k is

k = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question y = kx,

where y = 12 and x = 24

we will first of all make k the subject of the formula

y = kx

divide both sides by the coeficient of k which is x

y/x = kx/x

y/x = k .................................. k is the constatnt of proportionality

since we are given the value of x and y , we slot it in to determine the value of k.

k = y/x

k = 12/24

k = 1/2

check if your answer is correct , put the value of k into te question and see if LHS = RHS

y = kx

12 = 1/2 × 24

12 = 24/2

12 = 12....................... PROVED

victus00 [196]

Answer:

0.02275

Step-by-step explanation:

We use this z score formula to solve for this question

z-score is is z = (x-μ)/σ/√n

where x is the raw score

μ is the population mean

σ is the population standard deviation

From the above question,

x = 77

μ = 75

σ = 7

number of samples = 49

Hence, the z score = 77 - 75/ (7/√49)

= 2/(7/7)

= 2/1

= 2

Hence, the z score = 2

Using the z table to find probability

P(x<77) = 0.97725

P(x>77) = 1 - P(x<77)

= 1 - 0.97725

= 0.02275

Therefore, the probability that the same mean will be larger than 77 years

is 0.02275

It would be 105 students because you would divide the 280 students into 8 and then get 35, then multiply that by 3 representing the 3/8s of the students

Answer:

P(3 , 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = A(-3,-3) ;(x₂ , y₂) B(5, 1)

m : n = 3 : 1

$P \left( \dfrac{mx_{2}+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_{2}+ny_{1}}{m+n} \right)\\\\P \left (\dfrac{5*3+(-3)*1}{3+1},\dfrac{3*1+1*(-3)}{3+1} \right)\\\\\\=P \left(\dfrac{15-3}{4},\dfrac{3-3}{4} \right)\\\\\\= P \left(\dfrac{12}{4},\dfrac{0}{4} \right)\\\\\\= P\left(3 , 0 \right)$
