Answer:

The equation which correctly relates x and y is y = 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the direct variation is y = k x, where

k is the constant of variation

To find the value of k, use the initial values of x and y

∵ The variables x and y vary directly

→ Use the form of the equation above

∴ y = k x

∵ When x = 13, y = 52

→ That means the initial values of x and y are 13 and 52

∴ x = 13 and y = 52

→ Substitute them in the equation above to find k

∵ 52 = k (13)

∴ 52 = 13k

→ Divide both sides by 13

∴ 4 = k

∴ The value of k is 4

→ Substitute it in the equation

∴ y = 4x

∴ The equation which correctly relates x and y is y = 4x

In analyzing hits by certain bombs in a war, an area was partitioned into 553 regions, each with an area of 0.95 km2. A total

Leto [7]

Answer:

Probability of having two hits in the same region = 0.178

mu: average number of hits per region

x: number of hits

e: mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can describe the probability of k events with the Poisson distribution, expressed as:

$P(x=k)=\frac{\mu^ke^{-\mu}}{k!}$

Being μ the expected rate of events.

If 535 bombs hit 553 regions, the expected rate of bombs per region (the events for this question) is:

$\mu=\frac{\#bombs}{\#regions} =\frac{535}{553}= 0.9674$

For a region to being hit by two bombs, it has a probability of:

$P(x=2)=\frac{\mu^2e^{-\mu}}{2!}=\frac{0.9674^2e^{-0.9674}}{2!}=\frac{0.9359*0.38}{2}=0.178$
