____ [38]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

x = 1/2 or 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2(2x-2) = 2(3x - 1) + 7/2

= 5x - 4x + 4 = 6x - 2 + 7/2

= 5x + 4 = 10x - 2 + 7/2

= 5x + 6 = 10x + 7/2

= 5x + 2.5 = 10x

= 2.5 = 5x

Thus, x = 1/2 or 0.5

Identify the k-value that makes the relationship shown in the table below proportional.

uysha [10]

Answer:

The value of k that makes the relationship shown in the table below proportional is $\mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation is proportional if $y=kx \:or\:k=\frac{y}{x}$

Putting values of x and y to find k.

For x =2 and y =1 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

For x =4 and y =2 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{2}{4} =\frac{1}{2}$

For x =6 and y = 3 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{3}{6} =\frac{1}{2}$

For x = 8 and y = 4 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{4}{8} =\frac{1}{2}$

For x =10 and y = 5 k is: $k=\frac{y}{x}=\frac{5}{10} =\frac{1}{2}$

So, The value of k that makes the relationship shown in the table below proportional is $\mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}$

Answer:

0.9910 = 99.10% probability that a sample of 170 steady smokers spend between $19 and $21

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Mean of 20, standard deviation of 5:

This means that $\mu = 20, \sigma = 5$

Sample of 170:

This means that $n = 170, s = \frac{5}{\sqrt{170}}$

What is the probability that a sample of 170 steady smokers spend between $19 and $21?

This is the p-value of Z when X = 21 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 19.

X = 21

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

By the Central Limit Theorem

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{21 - 20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{170}}}$

$Z = 2.61$

$Z = 2.61$ has a p-value of 0.9955

X = 19

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}$

$Z = \frac{19 - 20}{\frac{5}{\sqrt{170}}}$

$Z = -2.61$

$Z = -2.61$ has a p-value of 0.0045

0.9955 - 0.0045 = 0.9910

0.9910 = 99.10% probability that a sample of 170 steady smokers spend between $19 and $21

Verizon [17]

a. If we subtract 75 from 550 twice, we get 400, which is the third member to join. Subtract 75 from 400, we get $325, the fourth member to join.

b. It is not possible that a member would join for free if it was a large family. 75 does not fit into 550 evenly. You can prove this by solving the expression 550÷75.

c. The lowest amount that a member would pay to join is $25.00. It would be the 7th member.
