Answer:

<em>Mr. Allen will need 28 oz. of preserver</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

A direct proportion is a relation between variables where their ratio is a constant value. This means that if p and g are proportional, then:

p = kg

Where k is the constant of proportionality.

Where p is the quantity of preserver Mr. Allen needs to store his boat for winter, and g is the gallons of gas of the tank.

We are already given the ratio of fuel preserver and gallons of gas as 1 oz:2.5 gallons.

The value of k is, then k=1/2.5. The proportion is written as:

p = g/2.5

Since the boat holds g=70 gallons of gas:

p = 70/2.5 = 28

Mr. Allen will need 28 oz. of preserver

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Therefore the required probability is 0.15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:

The Poisson distribution is the number of an event is occur within a time period.

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^x}{x!}

μ= The mean

x= event.

In Poisson distribution , the average rate event per time period is constant.

12%  defective parts is produced by one of the machines of the time.

μ= (12%×7)= 0.84

x= the number of defective product =2

P(X=2)=\frac{e^{-0.84}(0.84)^2}{2!}

               =0.15

Therefore the required probability is 0.15.

Does the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? Write an equation to model the data in the tabl
lukranit [14]

Answer:

- Inverse Variation

- Equation: XY = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

X-> 2 | 4 | 8 | 12

Y-> 6 | 3 | 3/2 | 1

Required

- State the type of variation the table represents

- Determine the equation to model the data

To check for type of variation; we'll make use of trial by error method.

To start with; We'll check for direct variation.

This is done using the following expression;

Y = kXwhere k is the constant of variation

Make k the subject of formula

k = \frac{Y}{X}

When Y = 6, X= 2

K = \frac{6}{2} = 3

When Y = 3, X = 4

K = \frac{3}{4}

There's no need to check further as both values of k are not equal

To check for inverse variation;

Y = \frac{k}{X}

Make k the subject of formula

k = YX

When Y = 6, X= 2

K = 6 * 2 = 12

When Y = 3, X = 4

K = 3 * 4 = 12

When Y = 3/2; X = 8

K = \frac{3}{2} * 8 = \frac{24}{2} = 12

When Y = 1, X = 12

K = !2 * 1 = 12

Note that for all values of X and Y, K remains constant;

Hence, the table represents an inverse direction

To determine the equation;

We make use of  k = YX

Substitute 12 for k

So, the equation becomes

12 = XY

Reorder

XY = 12

Hence, the equation is XY = 12

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

1/3 , 4/15 , 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do is plug the fractions in your calculator and you see that 1/3, 4/15, and 5/6 are repeating, but the others stop after only a couple of decimal places.

Hope this helps!
