Answer:

y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

y/4=15/20

1. simplify y/4 to .25y

15/20= .75

.25y=.75

2. divide .75 by .25 (.75/.25)

answer is 3

3. y=3

A number increased by 9 is 13
Alborosie

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number you have to reverse the equation

Let us call the number "x"

x + 9 = 13

So to find x we flip the equation

13 - 9 = x

Solve it

4 = x

So the missing number is 4

In a clinical study, volunteers are tested for a gene that has been found to increase the risk for a disease. The probability th
MrRa [10]

Answer:

a) 0.984

b) 20 people

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

If The probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1, then in a sample of 20 people, 2 should carry the gene.

Now, we want to know how many samples there are with this property.

Since we have 20 elements where 18 are alike (do not carry the gene) and 2 are alike (carry the gene), we have to compute the number of permutations of 20 elements in which 18 are alike and 2 are alike. This number is

\frac{20!}{18!2!}=190

In this 190 20-tuples there are only 3 where the 2 carriers of the gene are in the first 3 places, namely

(1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

(1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

(0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)

where 1=carries the gene, 0=does not carry the gene.

So there are 190-3 = 187 elements in which the first 3 elements have no 2 carriers, hence the probability that 4 or more people will have to be tested until 2 of them with the gene are detected is 187/190 = 0.984 (98.4%) rounded to three decimal places.

b)

Given that the probability that a person carries the gene is 0.1, then in a sample of 20 people, 20*0.1 = 2 should carry the gene.

Determine the equation of the line that goes through points (1.1) and (3.7).
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line that goes through points (1,1) and (3,7) is \mathbf{y=3x-2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the equation of the line that goes through points (1,1) and (3,7)

We can write the equation of line in slope-intercept form y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We need to find slope and y-intercept.

Finding Slope

Slope can be found using formula: Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have x_1=1, y_1=1, x_2=3, y_2=7

Putting values and finding slope

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{7-1}{3-1}\\Slope=\frac{6}{2}\\Slope=3

We get Slope = 3

Finding y-intercept

y-intercept can be found using point (1,1) and slope m = 3

y=mx+b\\1=3(1)+b\\1=3+b\\b=1-3\\b=-2

We get y-intercept b = -2

So, equation of line having slope m=3 and y-intercept b = -2 is:

y=mx+b\\y=3x-2

The equation of the line that goes through points (1,1) and (3,7) is \mathbf{y=3x-2}

In a cookie mix, we find ginger cookie, molasses cookies, and pinwheel cookie in a ratio of 1:2:7. If a bag of the mix contains
liraira [26]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:It must be an equal ratio- 2:3:7 = n:n:112

Now, to find the other numbers (n) in the ratio, we have to find the relationship between the two proportions.

To get from 7 to 112, we must multiply by 16. This is the relationship.

So, we must multiply both, the walnut and raisin cookies by 16 also.

2 x 16 = 32 = Raisin

3 x 16 = 48 = Walnut

Already known: 112 = Pinwheel

Now that we have all the data, we can make the ratio.

Raisin : Walnut : Pinwheel

32 : 48 : 112

Hope this helps! :)
