Answer:

Option 3rd is correct

$2.5 is the constant of proportionality in cost per pup cake

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct proportionality states that:

y \propto x

then the equation is in the form of :

y = kx              ....[1]

where, k is the constant of proportionality.

As per the statement:

The table shows how much Jake charged for the last 4 orders of pup cakes.

Let y represents the cost  and x represents the pup-cakes

Consider any values of x and y from the given tables.

x = 3 and y = $7.5

To find constant of proportionality in cost per pup cake.

Substitute these in [1] we have;

7.5 = 3k

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

2.5 = k

or

k = 2.5

Therefore, $2.5 is the constant of proportionality in cost per pup cake

Answer:

$2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take a look at the 4 orders and check the price per pup cake in each order:

Order 1: $5 for 2 cakes, so $2.50 per cake.

Order 2: $7.50 for 3 cakes, so $2.50 per cake.

Order 3: $12.50 for 5 cakes, so $2.50 per cake.

Order 4: $20.00 for 8 cakes, so $2.50 per cake.

Jake has a very consistent pricing of his cakes... they're always $2.50 each.

That price is the relation between the price asked and the number of cakes sold, that's the constant of proportionality in this case.

Each packet of the cooking oil weighs 2/5th of a kilogram and one kilogram of the cooking oil costs $6.5. Sara went to the groce
Reika [66]

Answer:

C) $20.80

Step-by-step explanation:

1 kg of cooking oil = $6.5

1 packet of cooking oil =2/5 kg

If 1 kg of cooking oil = $6.5

2/5kg of cooking oil = $X

Cross Multiply

1kg × $X = 2/5kg × $6.5

$X = 13/5

$X = 2.6

Hence 2/5kg of oil cost $2.6

Since 1 packet of oil = 2/5kg of oil , 1 packet of oil cost $2.6

The amount she spent if she bought if she bought 8 packets of the cooking oil is calculated as:

1 packet of oil = $2.6

8 packets of oil =

$2.5 × 8

= $20.80

Therefore,if Sara bought 8 packets of oil, the amount she would spend = $20.80

Since it is right angle,

A Geiger counter counts the number of alpha particles from radioactive material. Over a long period of time, an average of 14 pa
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

0.2081 = 20.81% probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:

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

In which

x is the number of sucesses

e = 2.71828 is the Euler number

\mu is the mean in the given interval.

Over a long period of time, an average of 14 particles per minute occurs. Assume the arrival of particles at the counter follows a Poisson distribution. Find the probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.

Each minute has 60 seconds, so \mu = \frac{14}{60} = 0.2333

Either no particle arrives, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

We want P(X \geq 1). So

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

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

P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-0.2333}*(0.2333)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.7919

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7919 = 0.2081

0.2081 = 20.81% probability that at least one particle arrives in a particular one second period.
