Answer:

<h3>Option 4: y = 3 – 2a</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the simultaneous equation;

ax + by = ab  ......... 1

2ax + 3by = 3b .....2

Required

Express y in terms of a

Using elimination method to eliminate x variable.

eqn 1 * 2 and eqn 2 *1 will give;

2ax + 2by = 2ab

2ax + 3by = 3b

Subtract

2by - 3by = 2ab - 3b

-by = 2ab - 3b

-by = b(2a-3)

-y = 2a-3

multiply through by -1

y = -2a + 3

y = 3-2a

Hence the value of y in terms of a is y = 3-2a

Vikki [24]

Answer:

13.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Use binomial probability:

P = nCr p^r q^(n-r)

where n is the number of trials,

r is the number of successes,

p is the probability of success,

and q is the probability of failure (1-p).

Here, n = 16, r = 2, p = 0.25, and q = 0.75.

P = ₁₆C₂ (0.25)² (0.75)¹⁶⁻²

P = 120 (0.25)² (0.75)¹⁴

P = 0.134

There is a 13.4% probability that exactly 2 students will withdraw.

At an ocean-side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water t
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

P(20

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467

Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c)

Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}[10+25]=\frac{35}{2}=17.5

Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, with a mean of 102 minutes and a standard de
hammer [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as

z = (x - u)/s

Where

x = points scored by students

u = mean time

s = standard deviation

From the information given,

u = 102 minutes

s = 18 minutes

1) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take more than 2hrs. It is expressed as

P(x > 120 minutes) = 1 - P(x ≤ 120)

For x = 120

z = (120 - 102)/18 = 1

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8413

P(x > 120) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587

2) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take lesser than 66 minutes. It is expressed as

P(x < 66 minutes)

For x = 66

z = (66 - 102)/18 = - 2

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275

P(x < 66 minutes) = 0.02275

The fraction of defective integrated circuits produced in a photolithography process is being studied. A random sample of 300 ci
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is

(0.0128, 0.0532)

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence interval 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

Z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}

For this problem, we have that:

In a random sample of 300 circuits, 10 are defective. This means that n = 300 and \pi = \frac{10}{300} = 0.033

Calculate a 95% two-sided confidence interval on the fraction of defective circuits produced by this particular tool.

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{300}} = 0.033 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.033*0.967}{300}} = 0.0128

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{300}} = 0.033 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.033*0.967}{300}} = 0.0532

The correct answer is

(0.0128, 0.0532)

According to a nutrition coach, a 100 kg person should eat
alexira [117]

Answer:

0.07%

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation is solving for what percentage of 100 kg is 0.07 kg.

1. Set up the equation

\frac{0.07}{100} = \frac{x}{100}

0.07 kg out of 100 kg is equal to x out of 100 because x represents the percentage and percentages are out of 100.

2. Solve by cross multiplying

100x = 7

3. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 100

x = 0.07

The answer is 0.07%
