If the point (-1/2, y) lies on the line whose equation is 2x - 3y = 6, what is the value of y?

1 answer:

7 0

(x,y)
when x=-1/2, find y

sub -1/2 for x

2(-1/2)-3y=6
-1-3y=6
add 1 to both sides
-3y=7
divide both sides by -3
y=-7/3

the value of y is -7/3

Answer:

x = ±6

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2/4=9

Multiply by 4 on each side

x^2/4 *4=9*4

x^2 = 36

Samples of skin experiencing desquamation are analyzed for both moisture and melanin content. The results from 100 skin samples

zheka24 [161]

Answer: a. 0.40 b. 0.23 c . 0.435 d . 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

melanin content Total

high low

moisture high 13 10 23

content low 47 30 77

Total 60 40 <u> </u><u>100</u>

Let A denote the event that a sample has low melanin content, and let B denote the event that a sample has high moisture content.

a) Total skin samples has low melanin content = 10+30=40

P(A)= $\dfrac{40}{100}=0.40$

b) Total skin samples has high moisture content = 13+10=23

P(B) = $\dfrac{23}{100}=0.23$

c) A ∩ B = Total skin samples has both low melanin content and high moisture content =10

P(A ∩ B) = $\dfrac{10}{100}=0.10$

Using conditional probability formula , $P (A|B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}$

$P (A|B)=\dfrac{0.10}{0.23}=0.434782608696\approx0.435$

d) $P (B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}$

$P (B|A)=\dfrac{0.10}{0.40}=0.25$
