Answer:

y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

y varies directly with x. Mathematically, we can write it as follows :

$y\propto x$

$y=kx$

Where

k is constant

Put y = 12 and x = -3 to find k. So,

$k=\dfrac{y}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{12}{-3}\\\\k=-4$

Now put k = -4 and x = 4. So,

$y=-4\times 4\\\\=-16$

So, the required value of y is equal to -16.

Gina bought 6 containers of yogurt for $4. how many containers of yogurt could gina buy for $12?

maw [93]

6 containers = 4$
X containers = 12 $

When you cross multiply , it will be 4X = 72

therefore X= 72/4= 18 .

Or just use your logic for that answer , 12 /4 is 3 right?
then multiply 6 by 3

We have the formula to compute the probability of having exactly k successed over n trials, given a probability p of success (and implicitly a probability 1-p of failure), which is

$P(\text{k successed on n trials}) = \binom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}$

Now, the probability of at least 3 successes is the union of the following event: exactly three successes,exactly four successes and exactly five successes.

We can compute their probability and sum them: $\binom{5}{3}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^3\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)^2 + \binom{5}{4}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^4\left(\frac{4}{7}\right)^1 + \binom{5}{5}\left(\frac{3}{7}\right)^5 \approx 0.36788$
