We define the variables first:
 x = number of male cousins
 y = number of females cousins
 We write the system of equations:
 x + y = 9
 x = y-2
 We solve the system:
 Equation 1:
 x + y = 9
 (y-2) + y = 9
 2y-2 = 9
 y = 11/2 = 5.5
 Equation 2:
 x = 5.5-2
 x = 3.5
 Answer:
 Although physically it does not make sense, mathematically the answer is:
 number of male cousins = 3.5
 number of females cousins = 5.5

Answer:

avocado=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the following equations:

snail + snail - cellphone=avocado

maple leaf  * cellphone=10

0+maple leaf=5

snail = cellphone + 1

avocado=?

This may seem confusing at first, but let's try to find the value of one of the items to help us to solve for the others

For example, we have the equation 0 + maple leaf= 5

Which means if we subtract 0 from both sides, we should get the value of the maple leaf

Which means that the maple leaf= 5

Now we know that maple leaf * cellphone = 10

So that means 5*cellphone=10

Divide by 5 on both sides

cellphone= 2

We know that snail = cellphone + 1

As we learned from above, cellphone= 2

Which means that snail = 2+1=3

We know that snail + snail - cellphone = avocado

And as calculated from above, snail = 3 and cellphone = 2

Which means:

3 + 3 - 2= avocado

Add

6-2=avocado

Subtract

4=avocado

Hope this helps!

Suppose that a market research firm is hired to estimate the percent of adults living in a large city who have cell phones. 500
Alborosie

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones is (0.81, 0.874).

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

For this problem, we have that:

n = 500, \pi = \frac{421}{500} = 0.842

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.842 - 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.842*0.158}{500}} = 0.81

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.842 + 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.842*0.158}{500}} = 0.874

The 95% confidence interval estimate for the true proportion of adults residents of this city who have cell phones is (0.81, 0.874).

Write an explicit formula for the sequence and find the 18th term.<br> -4, 12, -36...
Molodets [167]

Answer:

an = -4 * (-3)^ (n-1)

513560652

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the common ratio

12/-4 = -3

r =-3

The explicit formula is

an =a1 r^(n-1)

an = -4 * (-3)^ (n-1)

We want the 18 th term

a 18 = -4 (-3) ^ 17
