Answer:

19 birds

Step-by-step explanation:

First, I wrote my two equations:

5.5x +8.5y = 291.5

x + y = 41

Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!

To find y you need to insert x into the equation. The equation is y=2x+2, so insert the x on the table to find the y.

y=2(-4)+2=-6

y=2(-2)+2=-2

y=2(0)+2=2

y=2(1)+2=4

y=2(3)+2=8

These follow the equation's rule so it is correct.

Two plot the values of x and y you need to put it in (x,y) then plot it. Then you can check it by using the equation, y=mx+b, the b is the y intercept, so check to see if it starts there, and then check and see if it followings the slope

(-4, -6), (-2, -2), (0, 2), (1, 4), (3, 8)

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)

An automotive manufacturer wants to know the proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic. Step 2 of 2 : S
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The 85% onfidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars is (0.151, 0.205).

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:

Sample of 421 new car buyers, 75 preferred foreign cars. So n = 421, \pi = \frac{75}{421} = 0.178

85% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.15, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.15}{2} = 0.925, so Z = 1.44.

The lower limit of this interval is:

\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.178 - 1.44\sqrt{\frac{0.178*0.822}{421}} = 0.151

The upper limit of this interval is:

\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.178 + 1.44\sqrt{\frac{0.178*0.822}{421}} = 0.205

The 85% onfidence interval for the population proportion of new car buyers who prefer foreign cars over domestic cars is (0.151, 0.205).
