The value of y varies directly with x. If x = 5 when y = 12, what is the value of x whon y = 30?

Mathematics

Brrunno [24]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx, where k is a real constant.

When y = 12, x = 5.

=> (12) = (5)k, k = 2.4.

Therefore when y = 30,

x = y/k = (30)/(2.4) = 12.5.

The answer is 12.5.

A right triangle has one leg that measures 7 inches, and the second leg measures 10 inches. How long is the hypotenuse?
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

Hypotenuse≈12.21

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{7^{2} +10^{2} }   ≈12.21

to calculate this you would need to find the square root of the first leg squared added to the second leg squared.

the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle

The manufacturer of an electronic device claims that the probability of the device failing during the warranty period is 0.005.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The  value is  P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The probability of the device failing during the warranty period is p =  0.005

    The  sample size is  n = 3000

     The random variable  considered is  x  =  15

Generally this is distribution is binomial given the fact that there is only two out comes hence

      X  which is a variable representing a randomly selected selected electronic follows a binomial distribution i.e

     X  \~ \  B(n , p)

Now the mean is mathematically evaluated as

      \mu  =  n *  p

=>   \mu  = 3000 *  0.005

=>    \mu  =15

The standard deviation is mathematically represented as

      \sigma  =  \sqrt{np(1 -p )}

=>  \sigma  =  \sqrt{3000 *  0.005 * (1 - 0.005 )}

=>   \sigma  =  3.86

Now given that n is very large, then it mean that we can successfully apply normal approximation on this  binomial distribution

So

    P(X \ge  15) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  \ge \frac{x - \mu}{\sigma } )

Now  applying  Continuity Correction we have

   P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P( \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }  > \frac{(15 -0.5) - 15}{3.86 } )

Generally  \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma }   =  Z (The \ standardized \ value  \ of  \ X)

    P(X \ge  (15-0.5)) =  P(Z >-0.130 )

From the z-table  

       P(Z >-0.130 )  =0.5

Thus  

    P(X \ge  15) =  0.5

The sequence$$1,2,1,2,2,1,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,2,\dots$$consists of $1$'s separated by blocks of $2$'s with $n$ $2$'s i
kicyunya [14]

Consider the lengths of consecutive 1-2 blocks.

block 1 - 1, 2 - length 2

block 2 - 1, 2, 2 - length 3

block 3 - 1, 2, 2, 2 - length 4

block 4 - 1, 2, 2, 2, 2 - length 5

and so on.


Recall the formula for the sum of consecutive positive integers,

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^j i = 1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + j = \frac{j(j+1)}2 \implies \sum_{i=2}^j = \frac{j(j+1) - 2}2

Now,

1234 = \dfrac{j(j+1)-2}2 \implies 2470 = j(j+1) \implies j\approx49.2016

which means that the 1234th term in the sequence occurs somewhere about 1/5 of the way through the 49th 1-2 block.

In the first 48 blocks, the sequence contains 48 copies of 1 and 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 47 copies of 2, hence they make up a total of

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^48 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} i = 48+\frac{48(48+1)}2 = 1224

numbers, and their sum is

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^{48} 1 + \sum_{i=1}^{48} 2i = 48 + 48(48+1) = 48\times50 = 2400

This leaves us with the contribution of the first 10 terms in the 49th block, which consist of one 1 and nine 2s with a sum of 1+9\times2=19.

So, the sum of the first 1234 terms in the sequence is 2419.
