Does the data in the table represent a direct variation or an inverse variation? write an equation to model the data in the table. x: 2 5 8 y: 2 0.8 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x: 2    5     8

y: 2 0.8 0.5

Simply by looking at what happens to y as x increases, we can see that y decreases, and that we therefore have inverse variation.

The appropriate model is y = k/x.

If x = 5, y = 0.8, and so     0.8 = k/5

Solving for the constant of proportionality, we get 4 = k.

Then y = 4/x models this data.

a) one student is chosen from classroom a, then a student is chosen from classroom b.  

step-by-step explanation:

independent events are ones in which the probability of one event does not affect the probability of the second event.

one student is chosen from classroom a; this does not affect the chances of choosing a student from classroom b.   this makes these independent events.

when one card is chosen from a standard deck and then set aside before a second card is chosen, the probability of the second card being chosen changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when one student is chosen from classroom a and then a second student is chosen from classroom a, the probability of choosing the second student changes.   this makes them dependent events.

when a letter is chosen from the alphabet and then a second letter is chosen, the probability of choosing the second letter changes.   this makes them dependent events.
