Coefficient of variation 2011-04-14
Braden pose la question :
When determining coefficient of variation (CV) or %CV is it possible to calculate %CV for two variables? For instance can %CV be used to determine the precision of 5 data points on a graph using the X and Y coordinates? or does %CV need to be determined for each variable separately?

Direct, inverse and indirect proportionality 2009-03-04
Brian pose la question :
My 14 year old is confused about indirectly proportional and inversely proportional. On searching on the internet we were directed to: http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.00/ellis1.html Here leanne starts explaining indirectly proportional and ends up describing inversely proportional. Has Leanne got it wrong ?
What is indirectly proportional.

Thanks
Brian

JR pose la question :
I have read your reponses regarding the coeffcient of variation (CV) and find them very useful. I still have a question about interpreting the CV. Let's that the CV of sample #1 is 3% and that of sample #2 is 12%. Can I report that Sample #2 is 4 times more variable than sample #1? Thanks in advance!

Inverse variation 2008-05-22
leria pose la question :
In Boyle's law, the pressure of gas varies inversely with the volume of the gas. A volume of 11.2 liters of air exerts a pressure of 2.0 atmospheres.

determine the constant of variation and write an equation the models the relationship between the pressure of the gas P and its volume, V. Use the equation to predict the volume of air necessary to exert a presure of 0.25 atmospheres.

Direct and inverse variations 2007-11-27
Julie pose la question :
Please Help I do not understand this question. X varies directly as the square of S and inversely as T. How does X change when S is doubled ? When both S and T are doubled ? I appreciate your help with this problem.

Variation 2007-10-29
deeqa pose la question :
1. A car traveled 175mi at a certain speed. If the speed had been 20mph faster, the trip could have been made in 1hr less time. Find the speed

2. The average weekly allowance A of children varies directly as their grade level, G. If the average allowance of an 8th-grade student is $8.56 per week, what is the average weekly allowance of a 5th-grade

The time T required to do a job varies inversely as the number of people P working. It takes 2hr for 4 working. It takes 2 hrs for 4 volunteers to distribute flyers to a neighborhood. How long would it take 12 volunteers to complete the job?

Direct and inverse Variation 2007-04-03
liz pose la question :
how do you tell if an equation varies Directly or Inversely? ex.

x= 2y or

xy+12=3

i know that if you have three numbers (x. y, z) that it varies jointly but how do you tell if it is Inverse or Direct?

Thanks for the Help!

What is the intensity 5m below the surface? 2007-03-31
david pose la question :
I have this question which I am supposed to set it up and solve as a differential equation. I know how to solve the diffrential equation but I am having hard time understanding this question. Here is the question: The intensity of light in the ocean decreases the deeper you dive. In fact, the rate at which the intensity decreases is proportional to the current intensity. Setup the corresponding differential equation and solve for I(Y), the intensity I as a function of current intensity Y. If the light intensity 2m below the surface is 25% of the intensity at the surface, what is the intensity 5m below the surface. Can you please explain to me what does it mean by current intensity and how do I set this equation up. Thanks for the help.

Direct and inverse variation 2007-03-03
Rene pose la question :
Hi I'm Rene, I'm stuck with some problems in direct and inverse variation.

I know how to solve direct and inverse problems when only one variation is in a question at a time.

EX: p varies inversely as the square root of q, and when p=12, q=36 find p when q=16

12*6 =p*4
72=4p
18=p

But how would you solve a problem like.....

If s varies directly as r and inversely as t, and s=10 when r=5 and t=3, for what value of t will s=3 when r=4 ?

What is the diameter of the planet? 2006-12-07
Niall pose la question :
In April 2005, scientists claimed to have captured light from an extrasolar planet orbiting a brown dwarf in the constellation Hydra some 230 light-years from Earth. The scientists believe the planet is about five times the mass of Jupiter.

Assume the planet has the same density as Jupiter. What is the diameter of the planet?

Direct and Inverse variation 2006-10-27
Vishalinee pose la question :

i'm not sure how to use the words direct variation and inverse variation to describe thre relationship between:

a. speed and distance
b.speed and time
c. distance and time.

and then i need to create equations using the descriptions. i am really messed up with direct and inverse variation.

Coefficient of variation 2005-10-19
Jan pose la question :
I am currently teaching the coefficient of variation and am wondering if there are some guidelines as to the interpretation of this statistic. I understand that it measures the variation in a variable relative to the mean - but what is the cut off for "too much" variation expressed in this way???

Ciefficient of variation 2001-09-23
Carmen pose la question :
I have a question from my OAC finite class. I've come across a problem with the coefficient of variation. I have taught my students that there are no units for coefficient of variation and it can be expressed as a percent. So, for example, a set of data with mean of 5 and standard deviation of 100 would have a CV of 5%. But what happens in this situation: the mean is 4meters and the standard deviation is 0.7mm. Is the CV 1.75% or 0.00175% or 0.0175%? I've had some students change leave the units as is, change them both to mm or change them both to meters...so which is it and why?

Direct and inverse variation 2000-12-12
Ashley pose la question :
I'm stuck on this unit of direct and inverse variation..please and my problems and show me how to do each PLEASE!!!

Assume that y varies directly as x

If y= -4 when x = 2, find y when x= -6

Assume that y varies inversely as x

If y =-4 when x=2, find y when x =-6
