4x - 3y = 3 (x-4)
5x - 4y = 3 (x3)
-16x + 12y = -12
15x -12y = 9
-x = -3
x = 3

Answer: The required value of variable x is 3.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the value of the variable x in the solution to the following system of equations :

$4x-3y=3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\5x-4y=3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

In order to find the value of x, we need to eliminate y from both the equations.

Multiplying equation (i) by 4 and equation (ii) by 3, we have

$4(4x-3y)=4\times 3\\\\\Rightarrow 16x-12y=12~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)\\\\\\3(5x-4y)=3\times3\\\\\Rightarrow 15x-12y=9~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iv)$

Subtracting equation (iv) from equation (iii), we get

$(16x-12y)-(15x-12y)=12-9\\\\\Rightarrow x=3.$

Thus, the required value of variable x is 3.

A. Decide whether the given examples illustrate a constant or a variable.

notka56 [123]

Answer:

a constant is a data item whose value cannot change during the program execution just as its name implies that the value is constant a variable is a data item whose value can change during the program's execution . Thus as its name implies the the value can vary

A certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder. In

lord [1]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain geneticist is interested in the proportion of males and females in the population who have a minor blood disorder.

A random sample of 1000 males, 250 are found to be afflicted, whereas 275 of 1000 females tested appear to have the disorder.

Firstly, the pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the difference between population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of males having blood disorder= $\frac{250}{1000}$ = 0.25

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of females having blood disorder = $\frac{275}{1000}$ = 0.275

$n_1$ = sample of males = 1000

$n_2$ = sample of females = 1000

$p_1$ = population proportion of males having blood disorder

$p_2$ = population proportion of females having blood disorder

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used Two-sample z proportion statistics.

So, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the population proportions, ( $p_1-p_2$ ) is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ < ${(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ) = 0.95

P( $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ < ( $p_1-p_2$ ) < $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for ( $p_1-p_2$ ) =

[ $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ , $(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1}+ \frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ]

= [ $(0.25-0.275)-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} }$ , $(0.25-0.275)+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{1000}+ \frac{0.275(1-0.275)}{1000}} }$ ]

= [-0.064 , 0.014]

Therefore, 95% confidence interval for the difference between the proportions of males and females who have the blood disorder is [-0.064 , 0.014].
