The variables x and y vary inversely If x=5 when y=12, then find the value of x when y=32

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vilka [71]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x=15/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Inverse variation is given by

xy = k

Substituting x=5 and y=12

5*12 = k

60 =k

Our original equation is xy = 60

Now let y=32

x*32 = 60

Divide each side by 32

32x/32 = 60/32

Divide top and bottom by 4

x = 15/8

What is the linear equation for 3x+2y=62
scZoUnD [109]
<span>In this formula :

</span><span>y </span>tells us how far up the line goes
<span>x </span>tells us how far along
<span>m </span>is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is
<span>b </span>is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the<span> line properties.</span><span> We shall now graph the line </span><span> 3x+2y-62  = 0</span><span> and calculate its properties
</span>

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 31/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y=31.00000

<span>  y-intercept = 62/2 = 31
</span>

When y = 0 the value of x is 62/3 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=20.66667

<span>  x-intercept = 62/3 = 20.66667

</span>

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 31.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 28.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 28.000 - 31.000 = -3.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

<span>  Slope = -3.000/2.000 = -1.500

</span><span>
1.Slope = -3.000/2.000 = -1.500 

2.x-intercept = 62/3 = 20.66667<span> 

3.y-intercept = 62/2 = 31

How are the graphs of y = sin(x) and y = sin(x - 8) related? *
kvasek [131]

Answer:

There is a horizontal shift.

Step-by-step explanation:

Replacing  x  in a function formula with  x - 8  moves the graph 8 units to the <u>right</u>.

In the attached image, y = sin(x) is light green,  y = sin(x - 8) is dark green, and the arrows show how points on sin(x) get moved 8 units to the right.

In your sock drawer you have 4 blue, 5 gray, and 3 black socks. half asleep one morning you grab 2 socks at random and put them
timofeeve [1]

you will have 1/4 or 25% probability to pick a black sock because

4 blue socks + 5 gray socks + 3 black socks = 12 socks. but you need to pick one of the 3 black socks so 3 out of 12 or 3/12. simplify to 1/4

According to Inc, 79% of job seekers used social media in their job search in 2018. Many believe this number is inflated by the
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.79  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.79  

z=\frac{0.849 -0.79}{\sqrt{\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{370}}}=2.786  

p_v =P(z>2.786)=0.00267  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is higher than 0.79.  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

n=750 represent the random sample taken

X=314 represent the respondents that use social media in their job search.

\hat p=\frac{314}{370}=0.849 estimated proportion of respondents that use social media in their job search

p_o=0.79 is the value that we want to test

\alpha=0.05 represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

p_v represent the p value (variable of interest)  

2) Concepts and formulas to use  

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that the true proportion is hgiher than 0.79.:  

Null hypothesis:p\leq 0.79  

Alternative hypothesis:p > 0.79  

When we conduct a proportion test we need to use the z statisticc, and the is given by:  

z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}} (1)  

The One-Sample Proportion Test is used to assess whether a population proportion \hat p is significantly different from a hypothesized value p_o.

3) Calculate the statistic  

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:  

z=\frac{0.849 -0.79}{\sqrt{\frac{0.79(1-0.79)}{370}}}=2.786  

4) Statistical decision  

It's important to refresh the p value method or p value approach . "This method is about determining "likely" or "unlikely" by determining the probability assuming the null hypothesis were true of observing a more extreme test statistic in the direction of the alternative hypothesis than the one observed". Or in other words is just a method to have an statistical decision to fail to reject or reject the null hypothesis.  

The significance level provided \alpha=0.05. The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.  

Since is a right tailed test the p value would be:  

p_v =P(z>2.786)=0.00267  

So the p value obtained was a very low value and using the significance level given \alpha=0.05 we have p_v so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can said that at 5% of significance the true proportion is higher than 0.79.
