To solve this equation by elimination, what you would do is multiply one of the equations by -1, or distribute -1 to each term in the equation, any of the 2 equations. Then align the equations and add them together.

-(X + 3y = 3)
-X - 3y = -3

-X - 3y = -3
X + 6y = 3
__________
3y = 0
y = 0/3 = 0.

Now we can solve for x, by simply plugging the value of y into any of the 2 equations.

X + 6y = 3
X + 6(0) = 3
X + 0 = 3
X = 3.

The solution to your system of equations would be (3,0).

Check this by plugging in the point to the other equation and see if it is true.

X + 3y = 3
(3) + 3(0) = 3
3 + 0 = 3
3 = 3.

Thus it is the solution.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz. An ornithologi

Answer:

The formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.7}{2} = 0.15$

Now, we have to find z in the Z-table as such z has a p-value of $1 - \alpha$ .

That is z with a pvalue of $1 - 0.15 = 0.85$ , so Z = 1.037.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Assume that body masses of Goldfinch birds follow a normal distribution with standard deviation equal to 0.04 oz.

This means that $\sigma = 0.04$ .

Sample of 10 birds:

This means that $n = 10$ .

The margin of error is of:

$M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.037\frac{0.04}{\sqrt{10}}$

$M = 0.013$

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ subtracted by M.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean of $\overline{x}$ added to M.

Then, the formula to generate 70% confidence interval is: $[\overline{x} - 0.013, \overline{x} + 0.013]$ , in which $\overline{x}$ is the sample mean.

hodyreva [135]

The family would buy the three pairs of shoes for $26.31 because you have to divide $52.62 in half since they bought half the amount of pairs of shoes that are given in the sale.
