1. The statement "y varies inversely as x means that when x increases, y decreases by the same factor. In other words, the expression xy is constant: xy = k.


2. increase


3. One type of variation is inverse variation, and two variables are said to vary inversely if when one increases the other decreases and vice versa. The formula we use to indicate that a variable, y, varies inversely with a variable, x, is y=kx y = k x , where k is a constant called the constant of variation.

Probability.
swat32

Answer: 0.0386

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The probability hat the frozen chickens contain enough salmonella bacteria to cause illness if improperly cooked : p= 0.30

Sample size : n = 12

Let x = Number of contaminated chickens

Here , two outcomes for any chicken (either contaminated or not) , so it follows binomial distribution.

Binomial probability formula:

P(X=x)  = \ ^nC_x p^x(1-p)^{n-x}

The probability that the consumer will have more than 6 contaminated chickens :-

P(X>6)=P(X=7)+P(X=8)+P(X=9)+P(X=10)+P(X=11)+P(X=12)\\\\=^{12}C_6(0.3)^6(0.7)^6+^{12}C_7(0.3)^7(0.7)^5+^{12}C_8(0.3)^8(0.7)^4+^{12}C_9(0.3)^9(0.7)^3+^{12}C_{10}(0.3)^{10}(0.7)^2+^{12}C_{11}(0.3)^{11}(0.7)^1+^{12}C_0(0.3)^{12}(0.7)^0

=0.03860084306\approx0.0386<em>  (simplified)</em>

<em />

Hence, the required probability = 0.0386

Df = g + 32<br> solve for d
LekaFEV [45]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

<u>To solve for d, divide f from both sides of the equation.</u>

df ÷ f = (g + 32) ÷ f

<u>d = </u>\frac{g+32}{f}<u> is the answer.</u>
