If p varies directly with q, and p = 10 when q = 2, what is the value of p when q = 20?. . Is the answer 40?

NO, THE ANSWER IS NOT 40.

The solution to the problem is as follows:

If they vary directly, their ratio is always equal to the same number.
Since 10/2 = 5, any p/q has to = 5.
So p/20 = 5

p = 5 x 20 = 100

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line -3x+5y=-10

lapo4ka [179]

This looks familiar, right? Like slope-intercept.

y=mx+b, where m is the slope.

Let's right it like that.

5y=3x-10 (add 3x to both sides, since we want to isolate the y.)

Now divide by 5, since - again - we want to isolate the y.

y= 3/5x-10/5 >>>> y= 3/5x-2

I think the slope is 3/5.

If the line happens to be parallel, the slope is the same. If perpendicular, it is opposite reciprocal. So if it was perpendicular, the slope would be -5/3.

8. A company makes electronic components for TV's. 95% pass final inspection (and 5% fail and need to be fixed). 120 components

Taya2010 [7]

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that the variance of the number that pass inspection in one day is 5.7.

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes, either it passes inspection, or it does not. The probability of a component passing inspections is independent of any other component, hence, the binomial distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, with p probability, and has variance given by:

$V(X) = np(1 - p)$
