VARVARA [1.3K]4 years ago

Answer:

The probability that the diameter falls in the interval from 2499 psi to 2510 psi is 0.00798.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the random variable, X = "Comprehensive strength of concrete". We have information that X is normally distributed with a mean of 2500 psi and a standard deviation of  50 psi (or a variance of 2500 psi). In other words, X \sim N(2500, 2500).

We want to know the probability of the mean of X or \bar{X} that falls in the interval [2499;2510]. From inference theory we know that :

\bar{X} \sim N(2500, \frac{2500}{5}) \Rightarrow \bar{X} \sim N(2500,500)

Now we can find the probability as follows:

P(2499 \leq \bar{X} \leq 2510) \Rightarrow P(\frac{2499 - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq \frac{2499 - 2500}{500} ) \Rightarrow\\\Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq \frac{\bar{X} - 2500}{500} \leq 0.02 ) \Rightarrow P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 )

Where Z \sim N(0,1), then:

P(-0.002 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) \approx P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = P(Z \leq 0.02 ) - P(Z \leq 0) \\P(0 \leq Z \leq 0.02 ) = 0.50798 - 0.5 = 0.00798

Answer: No, 1/3 is equal to 2/6

Step-by-step explanation: If you multiply the bottom number, the denominator, and the top number, the numerator, by 2, you will get 2/6 which is equal to 1/3.

the variables x and y have a proportional relatinship and y=2/5 when x=5/8 which equation represents this relationship
mafiozo [28]

The equation is y = 16/25 x

lets find the proportional relationship,

y = kx

2/5 = k * 5/8

k = (2/5) /  (5/8)

k = 16/25

so if k, constant is 16/25

equation is:

y = 16/25 x

<h3>What are proportional relationships?</h3>

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables where their ratios are equivalent. Another way to think about them is that, in a proportional relationship, one variable is always a constant value times the other. That constant is know as the "constant of proportionality".

<h3>How do you find the proportional relationship in an equation?</h3>

The equation that represents a proportional relationship, or a line, is y = k x , where is the constant of proportionality. Use k = y x from either a table or a graph to find k and create the equation.

A sixth grade math student made this conjecture: every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers. Do you
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

No, I do not agree with the conjecture because 1 is not a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is one that can be divided by 1 and itself only. Thus it can be expressed in 2 factors only, 1 and the number itself.

Examples are; 2, 3, 5, 13, 19 , 23 etc.

So, 2 = 1 x 2

      3 = 1 x 3

     23 = 1 x 23

Prime numbers must be expressed as the product of 1 and the number.

The conjecture that every prime number can be expressed as the product of two prime numbers is false. Because 1 is not a prime number, since it has no 2 factors.

Find the value of x if 212x5 is a multiple of 3 and 11 please find out now guys HELP!
sammy [17]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number 212x5 is a multiple of 3, the sum of the digits needs to be a multiple of 3, so we have:

2 + 1 + 2 + x + 5 = 10 + x

The value of x can be 2, 5 or 8

If the number is a multiple of 11, we have to calculate the first number minus the second, plus the third, minus the fourth... and so on, and the result needs to be a multiple of 11. So we have:

2 - 1 + 2 - x + 5 = 8 - x

x needs to be 8, so we have 8 - 8 = 0, that is a multiple of 11.

So the value of x is 8.
