Answer:

C. Yes, 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relationship of direct proportionality for every ordered pair of the table, then the constant of proportionality must the same for every ordered pair. The constant of proportionality (k) is described by the following expression:

k = \frac{y}{x} (1)

Where:

x - Input.

y - Output.

If we know that (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (13, 45.5), (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (14, 49) and (x_{3}, y_{3}) = (15, 52.5), then the constants of proportionalities of each ordered pair are, respectively:

k_{1} = \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

k_{1} = \frac{45.5}{13}

k_{1} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{2} = \frac{y_2}{x_2}

k_{2} = \frac{49}{14}

k_{2} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{3} = \frac{y_{3}}{x_{3}}

k_{3} = \frac{52.5}{15}

k_{3} = \frac{7}{2}

Since k_{1} = k_{2} = k_{3}, the constant of proportionality is 3.5.

3.03 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We first look up the Z-score for 90th percentile in the table;

= 1.282

Z score is given by the formula;

X – μ / σ

We are given μ as 5.2 while σ is 2.2. Therefore;

1.282 = X -  5.2 / 2.2

1.282 * 2.2 / 5.2 = X

3.03018 = X

= 3.03

What is the value of x? NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

This means that:

15 - x = 2x

Add x to both sides:

15 = 2x + x

15 = 3x

Divide both be sides by 3

5 = x

Therefore the value of x is

5
