The volume of a gas in a container varies inversely with the pressure on the gas. If a gas has a volume of 180 cubic inches unde
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

100cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

varies inversely

pv = k

Find the constant of variation:

volume of 180 cubic inches under a pressure of 5 pounds

5 * 180 = k

k = 900

volume if the pressure is increased to 9 pounds per square inch?

9v = 900

divide both sides by 9

v = 100

According to a study done by the Gallup organization, the proportion of Americans who are satisfied with the way things are goin
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

21.77% probability that the proportion who are satisfied with the way that things are going in their life exceeds 0.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

For proportions p in a sample of size n, we have that \mu = p, \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1 - p)}{n}}

In this problem:

\mu = 0.82, \sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.82*0.18}{100}} = 0.0394

In a sample of 100 Americans, what is the probability that the proportion who are satisfied with the way that things are going in their life exceeds 0.85

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 0.85. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{0.85 - 0.82}{0.0384}

Z = 0.78

Z = 0.78 has a pvalue of 0.7823

1 - 0.7823 = 0.2177

21.77% probability that the proportion who are satisfied with the way that things are going in their life exceeds 0.85

M is the midpoint of AB. Find the coordinates of B given A(3,8) and M(5,4).
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer: B(7,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since coordinate of A(3,8) and M(5,4), where M is the midpoint of AB.

Let the coordinate of B be (x,y)

Therefore, the distance AM is equal to distance MB.

Distance = sqrt{ (5 - 3)² + (4-8)² } =sqrt { (x-5)² + (y-4)²}

Comparing corresponding coordinates,

5-3 = x-5

x= 5+5-3 = 7

4-8 = y-4

y= 4-8+4= 0

Therefore, the coordinate of B is (7,0)
