What is the greatest integer value of y for which 5y - 20 < 0?

2 answers:

6 0

5y - 20 < 0...add 20 to both sides
5y < 20...divide both sides by 5
y < 20/5
y < 4 (this states that y is less then 4)

Therefore, the greatest integer that y could be is 3 (because integers cannot be fractions, they have to be whole numbers)

Answer:

Greatest value of y is 3 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 5y - 20 < 0.

To find : what is the greatest integer value of y

Solution : We have given that

5y - 20 < 0.

On adding both sides by 20.

5y < 20 .

On dividing by both sides 5.

y < 4.

We can see y is less than 4 , it mean all the values of y must be less than 4 but not including 4 like 3 ,2, 1, 0, -1, -2 ........so on.

So , the greatest value is 3 .

It can not be in fraction because we asked about integer.

Therefore, greatest value of y is 3 .

Mrs. Gomes found that 40% of students at her high school take chemistry. She randomly surveys 12 students. What is the probabili

zlopas [31]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "0.438".

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Mrs. Gomes finds around 40% of students in herself high school are studying chemistry.

Although each student becomes independent of one another, we may conclude:

"x" number of the students taking chemistry seems to be binomial to p = constant probability = 0.40

Given:

Number of surveys

= 12

Exactly 4 students have taken chemistry:

$=P(X\leq4)$

$=P(x=0)+P(x=1)+P(x=2)+P(x=3)+P(x=4)$

$=\Sigma_{0}^{4} C_{r}(0.4)^r(0.6)^{12-r}$

On substituting the above equation, we get the probability of approximately "0.438".

So that the above would be the appropriate answer.

The distribution of the amount of a customer’s purchase at a convenience store is approximately normal, with mean $15.50 and sta

viktelen [127]

Answer:

0.42 is closest to the proportion of customer purchase amounts between $14.00 and $16.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean = $\mu = 15.50$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 1.72$

We are supposed to find the proportion of customer purchase amounts between $14.00 and $16.00

P(14<x<16)

Formula : $z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

At x = 14

$z=\frac{14-15.50}{1.72}$

$z=-0.8720$

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<14)=0.1922

At x = 16

$z=\frac{16-15.50}{1.72}$

$z=0.290$

Refer the z table for p value

P(x<16)=0.6141

P(14<x<16)=P(x<16)-P(x<14)=0.6141-0.1922=0.42

So, Option C is true

Hence 0.42 is closest to the proportion of customer purchase amounts between $14.00 and $16.00
