Answer:

  • <em><u>average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a masters:</u></em><u> $ 66 thousand</u>

<u></u>

  • average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a bachelors:<u> $ 56 thousand</u>

Explanation:

You can set a system of equation using the following steps:

1. Name the variables:

  • average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a masters: x

  • average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a bachelors: y

2. Set the equations that relate the variables:

  • the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a masters is $46 thousand less than twice that of an individual whose final degree is a bachelors:

        equation (1): x = 2y - 46

  • combined, two people with each of these educational attainments earn $122 thousand:

         equation (2): x + y = 122

3. Solve the system:

  • x = 2y - 46 . . . equation (1)
  • x + y = 122 . . . equation (2)

Substitute equation (1) into equation (2)

  • 2y - 46 + y = 122

Solve for y:

  • 3y = 122 + 46
  • 3y = 168
  • y = 168 / 3
  • y = 56 (this means that the average yearly salary with a bachelors degree is $ 56 thousand).

Subsitute the value on y in equation 1, to find the value of x:

  • x = 2y - 46 = 2(56) - 46 = 112 - 46 = 66.

Thus, the average yearly salary of a person with a masters degree is $ 66 thousand.

Determine whether each relation is a function. Give the domain and range for each relation.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Not a function

Domain: {3,4}

Range: {4,5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation where each input has its own output. In other words if the x value has multiple corresponding y values then the relation is not a function

For the relation given {(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)} the x value 3 and 4 have more than one corresponding y value therefore the relation shown is not a function

Now let's find the domain and range.

Domain is the set of x values in a relation.

The x values of the given relation are 3 and 4 so the domain is {3,4}

The range is the set of y values in a relation

The y value of the given relation include 4 and 5

So the range would be {4,5}

Notes:

The values of x and y should be written from least to greatest when writing them out as domain and range.

They should be written inside of brackets

Do not repeat numbers when writing the domain and range

Ian is a phycologist interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belonged to a particula
pickupchik [31]

Answer: 16590

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use to find the sample size is given by :-

, where p = prior estimate of population proportion.

z^*= Critical z-value (Two- tailed)

E= Margin of error .

Let p be the population proportion of cyanobacteria.

Given : E = 0.01

Critical value for 99% confidence interval : z^*=2.576

If Ian does not want to rely on previous knowledge , then we assume p=0.5 because the largest standard error is at p=0.5.

Now, the required sample size = n=0.5(1-0.5)(\frac{2.576}{0.01})^2

n=0.25(257.6)^2=0.25(66357.76)=16589.44\approx16590

Required sample size = 16590

Which relation is a function? Question 3 options: {(1, 2); (1, 3); (1, 4); (1, 5)} {(1, 2); (2, 3); (3, 4); (4, 5)} {(1, 2); (3,
NeTakaya

To be a function for every identical x value it has to have a different Y value. If the set has two identical X values but they have different Y values it can't be a function.

The set that is a function is:

{(1, 2); (2, 3); (3, 4); (4, 5)}
