Answer:

Hence, the expression that relates b and y is:

y=\dfrac{3}{5}b

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

The Green Goober, a wildly unpopular superhero, mixes 3 liters of yellow paint with 5 liters of blue paint to make 8 liters of special green paint for his costume.

i.e. the proportion of yellow paint used = \dfrac{3}{8}

and proportion of blue paint used =  \dfrac{5}{8}.

Let 'x' be the total mixture formed.

The amount of yellow paint(y)= \dfrac{3}{8}\times x

i.e. x=\dfrac{8}{3}y

and amount of blue paint(b)= \dfrac{5}{8}\times x

i.e. x=\dfrac{8}{5}b.

Hence we can equate x from both the equation to obtain:

\dfrac{8}{3}y=\dfrac{8}{5}b\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}y=\dfrac{1}{5}b\\\\\\5y=3b\\\\\\y=\dfrac{3}{5}b

Hence, equation that relates the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint (y) and blue paint (b) needed to make the Green Goober's special green paint is:

y=\dfrac{3}{5}b

Let

y------> the amounts (in liters) of yellow paint

b-----> the amounts (in liters) of blue paint

we know that

\frac{y}{b}=\frac{3}{5}

so

y=\frac{3}{5}b

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

y=\frac{3}{5}b

Answer:

Binomial; \mu p=87.5, \sigma p=7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a distribution is said be a binomial distribution iff
  1. The probability of success of that event( let it be p) is same for every trial
  2. each trial should have 2 outcome : p or (1-p) i.e, success or failure only.
  3. there are fixed number of trials (n)
  4. the trials are independent
  • here, the trials are obviously independent ( because, one person's debt doesn't influence the other person's)
  • here n=250
  • the probability of success(0.35) is same for every trial

(35/100=0.35 is the required p here)

  • \mu_{p} =n*p=250*\frac{35}{100} =250*0.35=87.5

[since, the formula for \mu _{p} =n*p ]

  • \sigma _{p} =\sqrt{n*(p)*(1-p)} = \sqrt{250*0.35*(1-0.35)} = 7.542 ( approximately)

[since, the formula for [tex]\sigma _{p} =\sqrt{n*(p)*(1-p)}

  • therefore, it is Binomial; \mu p=87.5, \sigma p=7.542
