Given x : y: z = 5:1:3 and z - y = 28. find the value of x + y​

Mathematics

Answer:

x + y = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x : y : z = 5 : 1 : 3, then

\frac{x}{y} = 5 ( multiply both sides by y )

x = 5y ←

and \frac{y}{z} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3y = z

Substitute z = 3y into z - y = 28

3y - y = 28

2y = 28 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 14 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into x = 5y

x = 5 × 14 = 70 ← ←

Substitute y = 14 into z - y = 28

z - 14 = 28 ( add 14 to both sides )

z = 42 ← ←

Thus x = 70, y = 14 and z = 42

Hence x + y = 70 + 14 = 84

How many ways are there to choose a committee of 3 people from a group of 9 people?
QveST [7]
C r = (n!)/(r!(n-r)!)
9 C 3 = (9!)/(3!*(9-3)!)
9 C 3 = (9!)/(3!*6!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7*6!)/(3!*6!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7)/(3!)
9 C 3 = (9*8*7)/(3*2*1)
9 C 3 = (504)/(6) 9 C 3 = 84

for events A and B, P(A)= 3/14 and P(B)= 1/5. Also, P(A and B)= 3/65. Are A and B independent events?
Lady_Fox [76]

No, A and B are not independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us study the meaning independent probability  

  • Two events are independent if the result of the second event is not  affected by the result of the first event
  • If A and B are independent events, the probability of both events  is the product of the probabilities of the both events  P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

∵ P(A) = \frac{3}{14}

∵ P(B) = \frac{1}{5}

∴ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3}{14} × \frac{1}{5}

∴ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3(1)}{14(5)}

∴ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3}{70}

∵ P(A and B) = \frac{3}{65}

∵ P(A) . P(B) = \frac{3}{70}

- The two answers are not equal

∴ P (A and B) ≠ P(A) · P(B)

- In independent events P (A and B) = P(A) · P(B)

∴ A and B are not independent events

No, A and B are not independent events
