Answer:

y =  - 5 \frac{3}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  \frac{k}{x}, where k is a constant. (Since y varies inversely to x)

Let's find the value of k first.

when y=7, x= -4,

7 =  \frac{k}{ - 4}  \\ k = 7( - 4) \\ k =  - 28

Thus,

y =  \frac{ - 28}{x}

When x=5,

y =  \frac{ - 28}{5}  \\ y =  - 5 \frac{3}{5}

Answer:

  y = -5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

When x changes by a factor of 5/-4, y changes by a factor that is the inverse of that. (That's what <em>varies inversely</em> means.)

  y = (-4/5)(7) = -28/5

  y = -5.6

Which solid has one face, zero lateral faces, one base, one vertex, and zero edges?
Ratling [72]
The correct answer is cone.

There's only one face, and only one vertex that leads to a single base. There are no edges because the base perimeter is not considered to be an edge because it's a vertex.

BartSMP [9]

Complete Question

It is found that on average, 9% of the population recycles its garbage. Under this assumption, if a random sample of 120 households in Iowa City is taken, would you be surprised to find that fewer than 3% of households in the sample recycle their garbage? Use the fact that p-hat has an approximately normal distribution.

Group of answer choices

A I would not be surprised because there are lots of lazy students in Iowa City.

B I would not be surprised because 3% is not that far away from 9%.

C I would be surprised because Iowa City is a very clean community which means lots of people recycle their garbage.

D I would be surprised because if the 9% average is true, the chance of a sample proportion being less than 3% is very small (only 1%). Who cares? It's only garbage!

Answer:

The correct option is D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The sample size is  n  = 120

    The  mean of the proportion is  p =  0.09

   

Generally the standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

=>   \sigma  =  \sqrt{\frac{0.09(1-0.09)}{120 } }

=>   \sigma  = 0.02612

Generally the chance that fewer than 3%   of households in the sample recycle their garbage is mathematically represented as

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( \frac{X - p}{\sigma}  <  \frac{0.03 -0.09}{0.02612} )

    P(X < 0.03) =  P( Z  < -2.297 )

From the z-table  

     P( Z  < -2.297 ) = 0.01

=> [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 0.01/tex]

=>   [tex]P(X < 0.03) = 1\% /tex]
