Solve the following system of equations using the elimination method. 5x – 5y = 10 6x – 4y = 4

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-2,y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

By dividing to lowest terms

5x – 5y = 10= x-y=2.......(1)

6x – 4y = 4=3x-2y=2........(2)

By elimination method

Multiply equation (1) by 3 so as to correspond with equation (2)

3(x-y)=3(2)

3x-3y=6..........(3)

Multiply equation (2) by 1 so as to correspond with equation (1)

Giving a test to a group of students, the grades and gender are summarized below

A B C Total

Female 3 4 19 26
Total 10 24 33 67


If one student is chosen at random,

Find the probability that the student was male OR got an "A".

Answers

Answer:

46/ 67

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers of students irrespective of grades is;

The sum of the last roll of numbers:

10+24+ 33+ 67 = 134

The number of males irrespective of grades is the sum of the numbers in the male row ;

7 +20+ 14 +41= 82

The numbers of students with grade A is the first column at the last row and is 10;

Hence;

the probability that the student was male OR got an 'A' is

the probability that the student was male plus the probability that he/she got an 'A'.

The probability that it's a male is ;

Number of males/ total number of students

=82/134

The probability that he got an A is;

The number of students that got A/ the total number of students;

10/134

Hence

the probability that the student was male OR got an 'A' is;

82/ 134 + 10/134 = 92/134 = 46/ 67

Step-by-step explanation:

Our angle is [tex]x=\frac{3\pi }{4}[/tex]

To find our answers for [tex]sin(\frac{3\pi}{4} )[/tex] and [tex]cos(\frac{3\pi}{4} )[/tex], we will need to use a unit circle. (I have attached the image of one).

Recall that the [tex]sin[/tex] of an angle is equal to the y-value of the corresponding ordered pair.

And the [tex]cos[/tex] of an angle is equal to the x-value of the corresponding ordered pair.

For the angle [tex]x=\frac{3\pi }{4}[/tex], the ordered pair is [tex](-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} }, \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } )[/tex]

Find the value of x from this adjoining figure

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=15^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached figure for labeling of given diagram:

We are given the following angles:

[tex]\angle AOC = 3x^\circ\\\angle BOD = 2x^\circ\\\angle EOF = 7x^\circ[/tex]

Angles opposite to each other when they are formed by crossing of two lines are known as vertically opposite angles. And vertically opposite angles are always equal to each other.

Using property of vertically opposite angles:

[tex]\angle EOF = \angle AOB = 7x^\circ[/tex]

Line CD is a straight line, so [tex]\angle COD = 180^\circ[/tex]

Also,

[tex]\angle COD = \angle COA+\angle AOB+\angle BOD = 180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 3x + 7x + 2x=180^\circ\\\Rightarrow 12x =180^\circ\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{180}{12}\\\Rightarrow x = 15^\circ[/tex]

Hence, answer is [tex]x = 15^\circ[/tex].

A hotel rents 220 rooms at a rate of $ 40 per day. For each $ 1 increase in the rate, two fewer rooms are rented. Find the room rate that maximizes daily revenue. The rate that maximizes revenue is $ .

Answers

Answer:

The rooms should be rented at $75 per day for a maximum income of $11250 per day.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the daily rental is increased by $ x

then

Rental:  R (x )=( 40 + x )  dollars per room-day

Number of rooms rented:  N ( x ) = ( 220 − 2 x )  and

Income:  I ( x ) = ( 40 + x ) ( 220 − 2 x ) =8800+140x-2x²  dollars/day

The maximum will be achieved when the derivative of  I ( x )  is zero.

[tex]\frac{dI(x)}{dx} =140-4x=0[/tex]

x=35

so, ($40+$35)=75$per day

 I ( x35) =8800+140(35)-2(35)²= 11250

Assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Find the probability that a given score is less than negative 1.15−1.15 and draw a sketch of the region.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable representing the test scores from the bone density test. Since it is normally distributed and the population mean and population standard deviation are known, we would apply the formula,

z = (x - µ)/σ

Where

x = sample mean

µ = population mean

σ = standard deviation

From the information given,

µ = 0

σ = 1

the probability that a given score is less than negative 1.15 is expressed as

P(x < - 1.15)

z = (- 1.15 - 0)/1 = - 1.15

Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.13

P(x < - 1.15) = 0.13

The sketch of the region is shown in the attached photo

In a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined, and the vehicle speed at impact was recorded for each one. For these 5000 accidents, the average speed was 42 mph and the standard deviation was 15 mph. A histogram revealed that the vehicle speed at impact distribution was approximately normal.

a. Roughly what proportion of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph?

b. Roughly what proportion of vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Roughly 68% of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph.

(b) Roughly 16% of vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a study investigating the effect of car speed on accident severity, 5000 reports of fatal automobile accidents were examined.

For these 5000 accidents, the average speed was 42 mph and the standard deviation was 15 mph.

Let X = vehicle speed at impact

SO, X ~ Normal([tex](\mu=42,\sigma^{2} = 15^{2}[/tex])

Here, [tex]\mu[/tex] = population average speed = 42 mph

         [tex]\sigma[/tex] = standard deviation = 15 mph

Since, the distribution is approximately normal; so the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule states that;

68% of the data values lies within one standard deviation points.95% of the data values lies within two standard deviation points.99.7% of the data values lies within three standard deviation points.

(a) Since, it is stated above that 68% of the data values lies within one standard deviation points, that means;

68% data values will lie between [ [tex]\mu-\sigma , \mu+\sigma[/tex] ] , i.e;

        [ [tex]\mu-\sigma , \mu+\sigma[/tex] ]  =  [42 + 15 , 42 - 15]

                                 =  [57 , 27]

So, it means that roughly 68% of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph.

(b) We have observed above that roughly 68% of vehicle speeds were between 27 and 57 mph which leads us to the conclusion that (100% - 68% = 32%) of the data values will be outside this range.

It is stated that of this 32%, half of the data values will be less than 27 mph and half of the data values will be more than 57 mph.

This means that roughly 16% of vehicle speeds exceeded 57 mph.

A consumer affairs investigator records the repair cost for 4 randomly selected TVs. A sample mean of $91.78 and standard deviation of $23.13 are subsequently computed. Determine the 90% confidence interval for the mean repair cost for the TVs. Assume the population is approximately normal. Step 1 of 2 : Find the critical value that should be used in constructing the confidence interval. Round your answer to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

= ( $72.756, $110.804)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $72.756, $110.804)

Critical value at 90% confidence = 1.645

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

The confidence interval of a statistical data can be written as.

x+/-zr/√n

Given that;

Mean x = $91.78

Standard deviation r = $23.13

Number of samples n = 4

Confidence interval = 90%

Using the z table;

z(α=0.05) = 1.645

Critical value at 90% confidence = 1.645

Substituting the values we have;

$91.78+/-1.645($23.13/√4)

$91.78+/-1.645($11.565)

$91.78+/-$19.024425

$91.78+/-$19.024

= ( $72.756, $110.804)

Therefore, the 90% confidence interval (a,b) = ( $72.756, $110.804)

Assume that random guesses are made for seven multiple choice questions on an SAT​ test, so that there are n=7 ​trials, each with probability of success​ (correct) given by p= 0.2. Find the indicated probability for the number of correct answers.
Find the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97

A company makes candles in the shape of a right cone. The lateral surface of each candle is covered with paper for shipping and each candle also has a plastic circular base. Find the amount of paper needed to cover the lateral surface of each candle. Then find the total amount of paper and plastic needed for the candle. Round to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for π.

Answers

Answer:

If we have a cone-shape candle with r=2 cm and h=3 cm, then the amount of paper needed is 18.84 cm^2 and the amount of plastic needed is 12.56 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete: no numerical values for the dimensions of the cone are given.

A right cone is defined by the radius r of the base and the height h.

The base area is the area of a circle with radius r:

[tex]A_b=\pi r^2[/tex]

The lateral area is calculated as:

[tex]A_l=\pi \cdot r\cdot l[/tex]

As the values for r and h are not given, we will use an example with r=2 and h=3.

Then, the amount of paper needed is:

[tex]A_l=\pi \cdot r\cdot l=3.14\cdot (2\,cm)\cdot (3\, cm)=18.84\,cm^2[/tex]

The amount of plastic needed is:

[tex]A_b=\pi r^2=3.14\cdot (2\,cm)^2=3.14\cdot 4\,cm^2=12.56\,cm^2[/tex]

Answer:

The mass of the grains = 120 ± 1 g

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given the following:

Total mass of container + grains = 185 grams

Mass of container = 65 grams

Therefore, mass of grains is calculated as follows:

Mass of grains = ( Mass of container + grains) - mass of container

= 185 - 65 = 120 grams.

since the scale has an absolute uncertainty of 1 g, the mass of the grains is written as 120 ± 1 g

Which validity is weak in this example?

a. internal validity
b. external validity
c. statistical validity
d. construct validity

Answers

Answer:

b. external validity

Step-by-step explanation:

External Validity is the applicability of the results of an experiment to the real world. Most times, there are threats to the validity of an experiment which could result in little or no effect on the general population. For example, if the method of selection reflects a measure of bias, then this could affect the result. Also if the participants are taking different aspects of the same test, it could also affect its validity as they may not be able to make a correct conclusion. If the sample size is not reflective of the entire population, it could also pose a threat to the validity of the experiment.

John's experiment is weak in its external validity because it cannot be generalized to the entire population of customers. He has to identify the threats to the validity of his experiment and correct them. For example, the sample selection may be biased.
