Answer:

So to have multiple ratios, you may want to determine whether they are equal or if one of them is larger.

To compare ratios, you need to have a common second number.

By multiplying each ratio by the second number of the other ratio, you can determine if they are equivalent.

If 2a-b:2a+b=1:2find the value of a:b

weqwewe [10]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

2a - b : 2a + b = 1 : 2

2a - b = 1

- Elimination

2a + b = 2

-b - (b) = -1

-2b = -1

b = 0.5

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

2a + b = 2 Substitution

2a + 0.5 = 2

2a = 1.5

a = 0.75

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

a:b

0.75 : 0.5

3/4 : 1/2

Hope this helps!!!

Y = –3x 6 y = 9 what is the solution to the system of equations? (–21, 9) (9, –21) (–1, 9) (9, –1)

Romashka [77]

we have

<u>The system of equations</u>

$y=-3x+6$ -------> equation $1$

$y=9$ -------> equation $2$

Substitute equation $2$ in equation $1$

$9=-3x+6$

subtract $6$ both sides

$9-6=-3x+6-6$

$3=-3x$

Divide by $-3$ both sides

$x=-1$

the solution is the point $(-1,9)$

therefore

the answer is

the solution to the system of equations is the point $(-1,9)$

The weight of an adult swan is normally distributed with a mean of 26 pounds and a standard deviation of 7.2 pounds. A farmer ra

Snezhnost [94]

Let $X$ denote the random variable for the weight of a swan. Then each swan in the sample of 36 selected by the farmer can be assigned a weight denoted by $X_1,\ldots,X_{36}$ , each independently and identically distributed with distribution $X_i\sim\mathcal N(26,7.2)$ .

You want to find

$\mathbb P(X_1+\cdots+X_{36}>1000)=\mathbb P\left(\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}X_i>1000\right)$

Note that the left side is 36 times the average of the weights of the swans in the sample, i.e. the probability above is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(36\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{36}\frac{X_i}{36}>1000\right)=\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)$

Recall that if $X\sim\mathcal N(\mu,\sigma)$ , then the sampling distribution $\overline X=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^n\frac{X_i}n\sim\mathcal N\left(\mu,\dfrac\sigma{\sqrt n}\right)$ with $n$ being the size of the sample.

Transforming to the standard normal distribution, you have

$Z=\dfrac{\overline X-\mu_{\overline X}}{\sigma_{\overline X}}=\sqrt n\dfrac{\overline X-\mu}{\sigma}$

so that in this case,

$Z=6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}$

and the probability is equivalent to

$\mathbb P\left(\overline X>\dfrac{1000}{36}\right)=\mathbb P\left(6\dfrac{\overline X-26}{7.2}>6\dfrac{\frac{1000}{36}-26}{7.2}\right)$
$=\mathbb P(Z>1.481)\approx0.0693$
