If they're asking the distance between the tree and the man's shadow, that would be 12ft and if they're asking the distance between the tree and the actually man, that would be 15ft :).

How does the graph of a system of equations with one solution differ from the graph of a system of equations with infinitely man
Tresset [83]

Answer:

To solve a system of linear equation graphically, it is best to write both equations in slope-intercept form first. After you put them in slope-intercept form, you should be able to graph them easily.For one solution, the two lines have to intersect at exactly one point, since both equations are satisfied at the intersection.

For no solution, the two lines have to never intersect, which means they have to be parallel lines. In other words, no solution will satisfy both equation.

What is the value of n in the equation ?1/2 (n-4)-3=3-(2n+3) <br>N=0 <br>N=2 <br>N=4 <br>N=6
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2(n-4) - 3=3- (2n+3)

Expand the brackets.

1/2n-2-3=3-2n-3

Add or subtract the like terms.

1/2n-5=-2n

Add 2n and 5 on both sides.

1/2n+2n=5

Add like terms.

5/2n = 5

Multiply both sides by 2/5.

n = 5 × 2/5

n = 10/5

n = 2

An exit poll of 1000 randomly selected voters found that 515 favored measure A. a. Construct a 99% confidence interval for the s
never [62]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that an  exit poll of 1000 randomly selected voters found that 515 favored measure A.

Sample proportion p = \frac{515}{1000} =0.515

q=1-0.515 =0.485\\n =1000\\SE = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } \\=0.158\\

Margin of error 99% = 2.58*SE

=2.58*0.0158\\=0.0408

99% confidence interval =(0.515-0.0408, 0.515+0.0408)\\= (0.474, 0.556)

------------------------

H_0: p =0.5\\H_a: p >0.5\\

(Right tailed test)

STd error = \sqrt{\frac{0.5*0.5}{1000} } \\=0.0158

Test statistic Z = p diff/std error =\frac{0.015}{0.0158} \\\\=0.9487

p value = 0.1714
