The value of x when y is 8 is 9.75.

It is given that

y ∝ 1/x

y = k/x......(1)

Where k is a constant of proportionality

<h3>What is the constant of proportionality?</h3>

The constant of proportionality is the ratio that relates two given values.

When y =13, x=6

Means, 13 = k/6

k = 78

Putting the value of k in equation (1)

y = 78/ x

8 = 78/ x

x =9.75

Therefore, The value of x when y is 8 is 9.75.

A survey of 500 citizens of a large country revealed that 70 of them believe the government's highest priority should be foreign
larisa [96]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

No of citizens participated in the survey =n =500

No of people who believe the government's highest priority should be foreign relations.=70

Sample proportion = p = \frac{70}{500} =0.14

q = 1-p = 1-0.14 = 0.86

Std error of proportion= \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =\sqrt{\frac{0.14*0.86}{500} } \\=0.01552

Concept used:Sample proportion p follows a normal distribution with mean =p and std error = sq rt pq/n

The angle of elevation from a boat to the top of a lighthouse is 22°. The lighthouse is 32 meters tall.
Nimfa-mama [501]
Look at this like a right triangle with a height of 32 M and the angle at the base of 22 degrees
 The distance from the boat to the lighthouse would be the base of the triangle

to find the base given the height and angle given the formula is

x = height /  tan(angle)

x = 32 / tan(22)

x = 79.2 Meters
