Can someone please help me

The double number line shows that 555 pounds of avocados cost \$9$9dollar sign, 9.

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

1 pound of avocado costs $1.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is just a simple division problem. We jest need to divide the given values to get the answer. For our problem, to know the price of 1 pound of avocado, we need to divide the $9 by 5 since the problem stated that the price of 5 pounds of avocados is $9.

Given:

5 pounds avocados = $9

Required:

cost of 1 pound of avocado

Solution:

$9 / 5 pounds = $1.8/pound

1 pound avocado = $1.8

Notice from the first line of solution, the unit became $ per pound. This means that we did the right operation since we are looking for the price per pound.

To check if we computed for the correct value, we should multiply $1.8 to 5. If the answer from doing this is $9, then our answer is correct.

Checking:

$1.8 * 5 = $9

Therefore, the cost of 1 pound of avocado is $1.8

The computer that controls a bank's automatic teller machine crashes a mean of 0.6 times per day. What is the probability that,

professor190 [17]

Answer:

0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.

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.

Mean of 0.6 times a day

7 day week, so $\mu = 7*0.6 = 4.2$

What is the probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times? Round your answer to four decimal places.

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0150$

$P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0630$

$P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-4.2}*(4.2)^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.1323$

So

$P(X < 3) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.0150 + 0.0630 + 0.1323 = 0.2103$

0.2103 = 21.03% probability that, in any seven-day week, the computer will crash less than 3 times.

Consider the equality xy k. Write the following inverse proportion: y is inversely proportional to x. When y = 12, x=5.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

$y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ or $xy=60$ (depending on your teacher's format preference)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Proportionality background</u></h3>

Proportionality is sometimes called "variation". (ex. " 'y' varies inversely as 'x' ")

There are two main types of proportionality/variation:

Direct
Inverse.

Every proportionality, regardless of whether it is direct or inverse, will have a constant of proportionality (I'm going to call it "k").

Below are several different examples of both types of proportionality, and how they might be stated in words:

$y=kx$ y is directly proportional to x
$y=kx^2$ y is directly proportional to x squared
$y=kx^3$ y is directly proportional to x cubed
$y=k\sqrt{x}}$ y is directly proportional to the square root of x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ y is inversely proportional to x
$y=\dfrac {k} {x^2}$ y is inversely proportional to x squared

From these examples, we see that two things:

things that are <u>directly proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>multipli</u>ed to the constant of proportionality "k"
things that are <u>inversely proportional</u> -- the thing is <u>divide</u>d from the constant of proportionality "k".

<h3><u>Looking at our question</u></h3>

In our question, y is inversely proportional to x, so the equation we're looking at is the following $y=\dfrac {k} {x}$ .

It isn't yet clear what the constant of proportionality "k" is for this situation, but we are given enough information to solve for it: "When y=12, x=5."

We can substitute this known relationship pair, and find the "k" that relates this pair of numbers:

<h3><u>Solving for k, and finding the general equation</u></h3>

General Inverse variation equation...

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

Substituting known values...

$(12)=\dfrac {k} {(5)}$

Multiplying both sides by 5...

$(12)*5= \left ( \dfrac {k} {5} \right ) *5$

Simplifying/arithmetic...

$60=k$

So, for our situation, k=60. So the inverse proportionality relationship equation for this situation is $y=\dfrac {60} {x}$ .

The way your question is phrased, they may prefer the form: $xy=60$
