Answer:

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the inverse variation equation, y = $\frac{k}{x}$

Plug in 8 as x and 4 as y, then solve for k

y = $\frac{k}{x}$

4 = $\frac{k}{8}$

32 = k

So, k is 32.

The equation is y = $\frac{32}{x}$

Plug in 2 as x and solve for y

y = $\frac{32}{x}$

y = $\frac{32}{2}$

y = 16

So, when x = 2, y = 16

WHAT TERM SHOULD BE ADDED TO CREATE A PERFECT SQUARE TRINOMIAL?

boyakko [2]

Answer: We should add the constant 81 to the expression to have a perfect square trinomial.

The perfect square trinomial that would be formed would result from (x + 9)^2.

We can use foil to prove it.

(x + 9)(x + 9)
x^2 + 9x + 9x + 81
x^2 + 18x + 81

81 is the value that must go with 18x in the middle to form the perfect square trinomial.

A sample of 32 observations is taken from an infinite population. The sampling distribution of a.is approximately normal because

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

a.is approximately normal because of the central limit theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

In this question:

Sample limit of 32 > 30, so the distribution is approximately normal because of the central limit theorem, and the correct answer is given by option a.

Suppose P(A) = 0.9, P(B) = 0.3, and P(B|A) = 0.2. What is P(A|B) ?

Elenna [48]

By definition of conditional probability,

$P(B\mid A)=\dfrac{P(B\cap A)}{P(A)}\implies P(B\cap A)=0.2\cdot0.9=0.18$

Similarly,

$P(A\mid B)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\dfrac{0.18}{0.3}=0.6$
