When x=3, y=16 and when x=6, y=8. Which inverse variation equation can be used to model this function

Mathematics

MakcuM [25]3 years ago

Inverse variation equations take the following form:

y = a/x, where a is some constant

We know x=3, y=16 and x=6, y=8 satisfy the equation.

Let's find the value of a.

16=a/3

Multiply both sides by 3

16*3 = a

48 = a

Thus, the equation is:

y = 48/x

You can use the other values of x and y to test, but I'm sure this is the correct equation. :)

A research group needs to determine a 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for all car insurance small claims. From
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

a) z = 1.645

b) The should sample at least 293 small claims.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.9}{2} = 0.05

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.05 = 0.95, so z = 1.645, which means that the answer of question a is z = 1.645.

Now, find  the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

(b) If the group wants their estimate to have a maximum error of $12, how many small claims should they sample?

They should sample at least n small claims, in which n is found when

M = 12, \sigma = 124.88. So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

12 = 1.645*\frac{124.88}{\sqrt{n}}

12\sqrt{n} = 205.43

\sqrt{n} = \frac{205.43}{12}

\sqrt{n} = 17.12

\sqrt{n}^{2} = (17.12)^{2}

n = 293

The should sample at least 293 small claims.
