Answer: $\dfrac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant of proportionality 'k' between two variables ( one independent and one dependent ) is given by :-

$k=\dfrac{\text{Value of dependent variable}}{\text{Value of independent variable}}$

In the given table, independent variable = Days

Dependent variable = Total Miles

From first row, Days = 3

Total Miles = $1\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{6}{5}$

Then, the constant of proportionality in the table

$k=\dfrac{\dfrac{6}{5}}{3}=\dfrac{6}{5\times3}=\dfrac{2}{5}$

Hence, the constant of proportionality in the table is $\dfrac{2}{5}$ .

If the area is 27 meters & 6 meters is the height what is the length ?

bezimeni [28]

Area= legnth times width
or sometimes
area=legnth times height
area=measure1 times measure 2 on a flat plane
dependson the names

area=27
height=6
area=legnth times height
subsitute
27=legnth times 6
divide both sides by 6
27/6= legnth
simplified to 4 and 3/4
legnth=4 and 3/4 meter
subsitute

The body temperatures of adults are normally distributed with a mean of 98.6degrees° F and a standard deviation of 0.60degrees°

Schach [20]

Answer:

97.72% probability that their mean body temperature is greater than 98.4degrees° F.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Normal probability distribution:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore 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 pvalue, 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 random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sample means with size n of at least 30 can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$
