*Given
3(x+y)=y
y is not equal to zero
*Solution
1. The given equation is 3(x+y) = y and we are tasked to find the ratio between x and y. Distributing 3 to the terms in the parenthesis,
3(x+y) = y
3x + 3y = y
Transposing 3y to the right side OR subtracting 3y from both the left-hand side and the right-hand side of the equation would give
3x = -2y
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3,
x = (-2/3)y
Dividing both sides of the equation by y,
x/y = -2/3
Therefore, the ratio x/y has a value of -2/3 provided that y is not equal to zero.
Answer:
The alternative hypothesis being tested in this example is that the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

Step-by-step explanation:
A tire manufacturer has a 60,000 mile warranty for tread life. The company wants to make sure the average tire lasts longer than 60,000 miles.
At the null hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of at most 60,000 miles, that is:

At the alternative hypothesis, we test if the tire life is of more than 60,000 miles, that is:

Answer:
0.64 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
In the equation provided:
h = −16t2 + 4t + 4
h is the height of the ball and t is time. Since we want to find the time when the ball touches the floor, then height is 0. This leaves us with the equation
-16
+ 4t + 4 = 0
This is a quadratic equation can be solved with the following formula:

where a=-16
b=4
c=4
Solving for t we will find two different results:


Since time can't be negative, we discard t2 and choose t1.
Since it is required to answer in the nearest hundredth, we round the result to t=0.64 seconds.
Answer:
The third one is unbiased because its not specific and it's not involving a group of people or a comparison of things. It's also not specific. It's asking about lowering the expensive sales tax in the city and not to certain people, etc..
Hope it's right:)
Answer:
infinity
Step-by-step explanation:
a) the expected value of this gamble in dollars is Infinity
i.e
expected value = 
= 
b)
When offered, most people say they would pay only less than $10 to play this game.
What are two reasons why people are willing to pay so much less than the expected value?
These people are ready to pay less than $10 to play this game due to the fact that people usually overlook the unlikely event when making decisions. In a bid to that logic, they gamble in order to double their amount of money and the probability that heads may never come is ignored by these people and they may hope for a likely event i.e a head every time they play the game.
Also, the expected value is so humongous that if and only if that the first head appears after a long series of tails which is very less certain to occur, because mostly people would think that on an average the length of a series of tails ( or heads) is somewhat near 10 or so, but definitely infinity.
