<h3><u>answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

<em>x</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>-4</em>

<h3><em>steps</em><em>:</em></h3>

Let the number = x (set up an equation)

2x = -3x - 20

add 3x to both sides

5x = -20

divide by 5 on both sides

<u>x</u><u> </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>-4</u>

Use substitution to solve the system of linear equations. In your final answer, include all of your work.
Fantom [35]
Replace 'y' with -3x+4

x + \frac{1}{3} (-3x+4) = \frac{4}{3} \\  \\ x -x + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}  \\  \\ \frac{4}{3} = \frac{4}{3}

The variable 'x' cancels out, leaving the True statement 4/3 = 4/3
This means that the 2 equations are identical regardless of what x and y are.

Answer: System is consistent and dependent, there are an infinite number of solutions.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

a) P(X>3.5)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.5-5}{1.2})=P(z>-1.25)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(z>-1.25)=1-P(z

b) P(X

And we can find this probability uing the normal standard table:

P(z

c) P(3.5

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.25

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".  

Part a

Let X the random variable that represent the variable of interest of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(5,1.2)  

Where \mu=5 and \sigma=1.2

We are interested on this probability

P(X>3.5)

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X>3.5)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{3.5-\mu}{\sigma})=P(Z>\frac{3.5-5}{1.2})=P(z>-1.25)

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

P(z>-1.25)=1-P(z

Part b

We are interested on this probability

P(X

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

P(X

And we can find this probability uing the normal standard table:

P(z

Part c

P(3.5

And we can find this probability with this difference:

P(-1.25

And in order to find these probabilities we can use tables for the normal standard distribution, excel or a calculator.  

P(-1.25
