Solve the following proportion for y. 13 11 8 y Round your answer to the nearest tenth. 1 X Ú​

Answer: The given equation 2x + 5y = 10 can be rewritten in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) by solving for y:

2x + 5y = 10

5y = -2x + 10

y = (-2/5)x + 2

where the slope is -2/5.

Since we want to find the equation of a line parallel to this one, the slope of the new line will also be -2/5. We can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of the new line, using the point (0,-3):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is the given point.

Substituting m = -2/5, x1 = 0, and y1 = -3, we get:

y - (-3) = (-2/5)(x - 0)

y + 3 = (-2/5)x

y = (-2/5)x - 3

Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to 2x + 5y = 10 which passes through (0,-3) is y = (-2/5)x - 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

2x + 5y = - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

given

2x + 5y = 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

5y = - 2x + 10 ( divide through by 5 )

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x + 2 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x + c

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 3 ) ⇒ c = - 3

y = - [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] x - 3 ← equation of parallel line in slope- intercept form

multiply through by 5 to clear the fraction

5y = - 2x - 15 ( add 2x to both sides )

2x + 5y = - 15 ← in standard form

To calculate the product of two random variables that follows the normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1 by using the covariance formula

Cov(X, Y) = E[XY] - E[X]E[Y] = E[XY] - 0 = E[XY]

Given that two random variables follow a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1.

Let X and Y be two independent normal random variables such that X ~ N(0,1) and Y ~ N(0,1)

Now, The expected value of the product of two random variables is given by;

E[XY] = E[X]E[Y] + Cov(X,Y)

Where E[X] and E[Y] are the means of the two random variables X and Y respectively.

Cov(X, Y) is the covariance between the two random variables, which can be calculated using the formula;

Cov(X,Y) = E[XY] - E[X]E[Y]

Now, E[X] = E[Y] = 0 as both have a mean of 0.

Cov(X, Y) = E[XY] - E[X]E[Y]

⇒ E[XY] = the expected value of the product of X and Y.

As X and Y are independent, their covariance will be zero, which implies;

Cov(X, Y) = E[XY] - E[X]E[Y] = E[XY] - 0 = E[XY]

Thus, we can calculate the product of two random variables that follow a normal distribution with mean 0 and variance 1 using the above formula for covariance.

The missing amounts for Walco Corporation and Gunther Enterprises assuming  all changes in stockholders equity are due to changes in retained earnings are
(a) Walco Corporation Total Stockholders' Equity =  $54,000
(b) Walco Corporation Total Assets = $182,000
(c) Walco Corporation Dividends = $47,100
(d) Gunther Enterprises Total Liabilities = $140,000
(e) Gunther Enterprises Total Stockholders' Equity = $91,500
(f) Gunther Enterprises Total Revenues =  $135,100

A balance sheet is a financial statement that reports a company's assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity on a specific date. Assets are resources a company owns that have monetary value, liabilities are obligations that must be paid in the future, and stockholder equity is the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. To calculate the missing amounts, you need to subtract the beginning of year figures from the end of year figures.

a) Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity = Total assets

Total liabilities + $54,000 = $100,000

Total liabilities = $46,000

(b) Total assets = Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity

Total assets = $128,000 + $54,000

Total assets = $182,000

(c) Changes during year in retained earnings = Total revenues - Total expenses - Dividends

Changes during year in retained earnings = $219,000 - $167,000 - $4,900

Changes during year in retained earnings = $47,100

The missing values for Gunther Enterprises:

(d) Total liabilities + Total stockholders' equity = Total assets

$67,500 + $(e) = $159,000

$(e) = $91,500

(f) Changes during year in retained earnings = Total revenues - Total expenses - Dividends

Changes during year in retained earnings = $(f) - $79,000 - $4,900

Changes during year in retained earnings = $(f) - $83,900

Using the balance sheet equation, we can find the missing values:

(d) Total liabilities = Total assets - Total stockholders' equity

Total liabilities = $159,000 - $67,500

Total liabilities = $91,500

(e) Total stockholders' equity = Total assets - Total liabilities

Total stockholders' equity = $190,000 - $50,000

Total stockholders' equity = $140,000

(f) Changes during year in retained earnings = Total revenues - Total expenses - Dividends

Changes during year in retained earnings = $219,000 - $79,000 - $4,900

Changes during year in retained earnings = $135,100

Therefore, the missing amounts are:

(a) Walco Corporation Total Stockholders' Equity =  $54,000
(b) Walco Corporation Total Assets = $182,000
(c) Walco Corporation Dividends = $47,100

Therefore, Person A is approximately 95.17 miles away from the building.

To find out how far person A is from the building, we'll need to use trigonometry. The diagram below shows the situation.

Given that Person A's angle of elevation to the building is 35 degrees, we'll let angle BAC be 35 degrees.

Similarly, since Person B's angle of elevation is 77 degrees, we'll let angle ABC be 77 degrees. We'll also let AB be x, the distance from Person A to the building, and BC be 8 miles, the distance from Person B to the building.

First, we'll use the tangent function to find the height of the building. In triangle ABC, tan(77) = height/8. Solving for the height, we get:

height = 8tan(77) ≈ 61.23 miles.

Next, we'll use the tangent function again to find x. In triangle ABC, tan(35) = height/x + 8. Solving for x, we get:

x = (height)/(tan(35)) - 8

Let's use the variable "s" to represent the number of slices in each pizza.

The drama club bought 999 large pizzas, and each pizza had s slices. So, the total number of pizza slices is given by the product of 999 and s, which can be written as:

999s = 727272

To solve for s, we can divide both sides of the equation by 999:

s = 727272/999

Using a calculator, we can simplify this fraction to:

s ≈ 728.73

Therefore, each pizza has approximately 728 slices. Note that this is an unusual number of slices for a pizza, so it's possible that the problem is not intended to be taken literally, but rather as a math puzzle or word problem.

By using  Bayes' theorem in probability.

a) The probability that isaac would not become a hurricane but remain a tropical storm when it reached the gulf of mexico is 0.31.

b) P(H|c) = 0.4493

c) It can be observed that the likelihood of a tropical storm developing into a hurricane decreases slightly when it passes over Cuba. This can be inferred from the fact that the conditional probability of a hurricane forming given that the storm has passed over Cuba (P(H|c) = 0.4493) is lower than the initial probability of 0.69.

a) The probability that Isaac would not become a hurricane but remain a tropical storm when it reached the Gulf of Mexico is:

P(not hurricane) = 1 - P(hurricane) = 1 - 0.69 = 0.31

So the probability is 0.31 (to 2 decimals).

b) We need to use Bayes' theorem to calculate the probabilities:

P(c|H) = P(H|c) * P(c) / P(H)

P(c|T) = P(T|c) * P(c) / P(T)

where c denotes passing over Cuba, H denotes becoming a hurricane, and T denotes remaining a tropical storm.

From the problem, we have:

P(H) = 0.69

P(T) = 1 - P(H) = 0.31

P(c|H) = 0.08

P(c|T) = 0.20

To calculate P(c), we need to use the law of total probability:

P(c) = P(c|H) * P(H) + P(c|T) * P(T)

= 0.08 * 0.69 + 0.20 * 0.31

= 0.1228

Now we can calculate P(c|H) and P(c|T):

P(c|H) = 0.08 * 0.69 / 0.1228

= 0.4493 (to 2 decimals)

P(c|T) = 0.20 * 0.31 / 0.1228

= 0.5065 (to 2 decimals)

To calculate P(H|c), we use Bayes' theorem again:

P(H|c) = P(c|H) * P(H) / P(c)

= 0.08 * 0.69 / 0.1228

= 0.4493 (to 4 decimals)

c) Passing over a landmass such as Cuba can alter the probability of becoming a hurricane because it can either enhance or weaken the storm. In this case, we can see that the probability of becoming a hurricane is actually slightly lower when a tropical storm passes over Cuba, as P(H|c) = 0.4493 is lower than the initial probability of 0.69. However, it is important to note that this is just one example and the effect of passing over a landmass can vary depending on many factors.

Probability is the study of random events. It is a measure of the likelihood of an event occurring. Probability can be expressed as a decimal, a fraction, or a percentage. There are two types of probability - empirical probability and theoretical probability.

Empirical probability is calculated by conducting experiments or collecting data. It is calculated using the following formula:

Empirical probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Theoretical probability is calculated using probability formulas. It is calculated using the following formula:

Theoretical probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of possible outcomes

In the given problem, a fair die is rolled three times. We need to find the probability that it is 1 or 2 on the first roll, 3 or 4 on the second roll, or 5 or 6 on the third roll. There are 2 favourable outcomes for the first roll, 2 favourable outcomes for the second roll, and 2 favourable outcomes for the third roll.

Total number of outcomes = 6×6×6 = 216

Number of favourable outcomes = 2×2×2 = 8

Probability = Number of favourable outcomes/Total number of outcomes

Probability = 8/216

Probability = 1/27

Therefore, the probability that it is 1 or 2 on the first roll, 3 or 4 on the second roll, or 5 or 6 on the third roll when a fair die is rolled three times is 1/4.

Random sampling 50 batteries throughout the day and testing to see if they would provide most valid results.

A sample is described as a smaller, more manageable representation of a larger group. A smaller population with characteristics of a larger one. A sample is used in statistical analysis when the population size is too large to include all participants or observations in the test.

The sample may be biased if it is taken from the first 25 batteries made each day or the last 25 batteries made each day.

The first and last battery made each day could not be an accurate representation of the total quality of the batteries produced that day if the battery manufacturing process is not consistent thought the day.

Although the battery quality can change during the day, sampling the first 50 batteries produced each day may also add bias into the sample.

The ideal course of action is to randomly select 50 batteries throughout the day, since this helps to ensure that the sample is reflective of the general calibre of batteries manufactured that day.

A more accurate image of the quality of the batteries manufactured can be obtained using this method, which is also more likely to capture any variations in battery quality over the day.

Answer:

Point-Slope Form: y - 1 = -1/2(x - 4) or Standard Form: y = -1/2x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For a line to be perpendicular, you take the negative inverse of the slope of 2x - y = 4. To do this, rearrange the y to one side and you get y = 2x - 4. The slope of the line is 2. So, taking the negative inverse would be -1/m (with m being slope of the the equation given in the problem. This would give you -1/2.

Using point slope formula, y - y1 = m(x - x1), you can plug in the point given, (4,1) and the slope you found to get y - 1 = -1/2(x - 4). For standard form, isolating the y gets you y = -1/2x + 3.

You can check your answer by using Desmos by putting in the line 2x - y = 4, the point (4,1), and the equation you got as your answer. You will see that the equation is perpendicular to 2x - y = 4 and passes through point (4,1). Your equation of the line is y - 1 = -1/2(x - 4) or y = -1/2x + 3

The probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 52 millimeters is 0.8413. This can be calculated using the formula for probability of a normal distribution:

P(x > 52) = 1 - P(x ≤ 52)

P(x ≤ 52) = (52 - 58) / 6 = -1

P(x > 52) = 1 - P(-1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413.

Therefore, the probability that the diameter of a selected bearing is greater than 52 millimeters is 0.8413.

The diameters of ball bearings are distributed normally. the mean diameter is 58 millimeters and the standard deviation is 6 millimeters : https://brainly.com/question/31110857

The amount that each type would be 11.87 lbs of cashews and 15.13 lbs of brazil nuts

1. First, find the total cost of 27 lbs of the mixture: 27 lbs x $6.41/lb = $171.07.
2. Next, find the cost of cashews and brazil nuts in the mixture. Cashews cost $7.70/lb and brazil nuts cost $4.80/lb.
3. Subtract the cost of the brazil nuts from the total cost of the mixture: $171.07 - (27 lbs x $4.80/lb) = $105.27.
4. Divide the cost of the cashews ($105.27) by the cost of one pound of cashews ($7.70): $105.27/$7.70 = 13.66 lbs.
5. Subtract the number of pounds of cashews (13.66) from the total pounds of the mixture (27) to find the number of pounds of brazil nuts: 27 - 13.66 = 15.13 lbs.
6. Therefore, the mixture should contain 11.87 lbs of cashews and 15.13 lbs of brazil nuts.
