Answer:

x =7

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct variation equation is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

If y = 5.5 when x = 11, we can write 5.5 = 11k, which, when solved for k, yields k = 0.5.

Then the direct variation equation in this case is y = 0.5x.

If y = 3.5, what is x? y = 0.5x becomes 3.5 = 0.5x, yielding x = 7

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx

5.5=m×11

5.5÷11=m

m=1/2

y=mx

3.5=1/2×x

3.5÷1/2=x

x=7

Answer:

$\text{The probability that Gary dies first = }\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the required probability,

We can split the 40 years of Eric into very small pieces of time dt. Now, If Eric dies at time t and Gary dies before Eric, the probability is :

$\frac{t}{60}\times \frac{dt}{40}=\frac{t\cdot dt}{2400}$

Hence the probability that Gary dies first is given by :

$=\int_{0}^{40}\frac{t}{2400}dt \\\\= \frac{1}{3}$

Use the data to create a scatter plot\<br> forks: 2,4,6,8,10,12<br> spoons: 10,6,4,1,0,2

Len [333]

Answer:

The resulting scatter plot is attached below :

To plot the required scatter plot :

We first take forks on the x - axis and the spoons on the y - axis

Now we arrange the given data in the form of x and y coordinates

Hence, the data becomes :

(2, 10)

(4, 6)

(6, 4)

(8, 1)

(10, 0)

(12, 2)

Now, We plot these points on the graph and get the required scatter plot for the given data.
