Answer:

The value of y at x=-1 is 3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that y varies directly with x. It means y is directly proportional to x.

y\propto x

y=kx              .... (1)

where, k is constant of proportionality.

It is given that y=-3 when x=5.

Substitute y=-3 and x=5 in equation (1).

-3=k(5)

-\frac{3}{5}=k

The value of k is -3/5.

y=-\frac{3}{5}x          .... (2)

We need to find the value of y when x=-1.

Substitute x=-1 in equation (2).

y=-\frac{3}{5}(-1)

y=\frac{3}{5}

Therefore the value of y at x=-1 is 3/5.

\bf \begin{array}{cccccclllll}
\textit{something}&&\textit{varies directly to}&&\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
\textit{something}&=&{{ \textit{some value}}}&\cdot &\textit{something else}\\ \quad \\
y&=&{{ k}}&\cdot&x

&&  y={{ k }}x
\end{array}
\\ \quad \\
\textit{we know that, when}
\begin{cases}
y=-3\\
x=5
\end{cases}\implies y=kx\implies (-3)=k(5)

solve for "k", to find the "constant of variation",
then plug it back in the y = kx, to get the equation
now
what's is y when x = -1?
well, just plug that in the equation with the found "k" value,
to get "y" :)

Suppose you are given either a fair dice or an unfair dice (6-sided). You have no basis for considering either dice more likely
hoa [83]

Answer: Our required probability is 0.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of dices = 2

Number of fair dice = 1

Probability of getting a fair dice P(E₁) = \dfrac{1}{2}

Number of unfair dice = 1

Probability of getting a unfair dice  P(E₂) = \dfrac{1}{2}

Probability of getting a 3 for the fair dice P(A|E₁)= \dfrac{1}{6}

Probability of getting a 3 for the unfair dice P(A|E₂) = \dfrac{1}{3}

So, we need to find the probability that the die he rolled is fair given that the outcome is 3.

So, we will use "Bayes theorem":

P(E_1|A)=\dfrac{P(E_1)P(A|E_1)}{P(E_1)P(A|E_1)+P(E_2)P(A|E_2)}\\\\(E_1|A)=\dfrac{0.5\times 0.16}{0.5\times 0.16+0.5\times 0.34}\\\\P(E_1|A)=0.83

Hence, our required probability is 0.83.
