The answer is (6, 7)

This is the system of two equations:
<span>2y − x = 8
y − 2x = −5
_____
Express the second equation in the term of y:
2y - x = 8
y = 2x - 5
_____
Substitute y in the first equation:
2(2x - 5) - x = 8
4x - 10 - x = 8
4x - x = 10 + 8
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x = 6

Since x = 6 and y = 2x - 5, then:
y = 2 * 6 - 5 
y = 12 - 5
y = 7

Therefore, (x, y) = (6, 7)</span>

In a cafeteria 3/10 of the students are eating salads, and 3/5 are eating sandwiches. There are 20 students in the cafeteria. Ho
Elanso [62]

We know that 3/10*20=6 students are eating salads.

We also know that 3/5*20=12 students are eating sandwiches.

Assuming each person only eats one thing, there are 20-12-6=2 students eating lunches other than salads or sandwiches.

Find the value of x so that the function has the given value. 2(x) = 2x + 7; n(x) = 17​
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

  x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Maybe you have ...

  n(x) = 2x +7

and you want x for n(x) = 17.

  17 = 2x +7

  10 = 2x . . . . . . subtract 7

  5 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The General Social Survey asked the question: "For how many days during the past30 days was your mental health, which includes s
serg [7]

Answer:

a) For this case we can conclude that we are 95% confident that the true mean for the variable of interest is between 3.4 and 4.24 days in the US population.

b) The 95% confident means that if we select 100 different samples and calculate the 95% confidence interval for each sample selected, then we will have approximately 95 out of 100 confidence intervals will contain the true mean for the parameter of interest.

c) If we have the same info but we want more confidence that implies that the confidence interval would be wider, since the margin of error increase with more confidence.

d) Assuming that we have the same confidence level and the value for the deviation not changes. If we see if we decrease the sample size, then the margin of error would be lower since the original sample size was 1151. So then if we use 500 Americans we would have a lower value for the margin of error for this new interval. And then our confidence interval would smaller than the original.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".  

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.  

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 confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}  

For the 95% confidence interval the value of \alpha=1-0.95=0.05 and \alpha/2=0.025, with that value we can find the quantile required for the interval in the normal standard distribution.

z_{\alpha/2}=1.96

The confidence interval after apply the formulas was (3.40 ,4.24)

Part a

For this case we can conclude that we are 95% confident that the true mean for the variable of interest is between 3.4 and 4.24 days in the US population.

Part b

The 95% confident means that if we select 100 different samples and calculate the 95% confidence interval for each sample selected, then we will have approximately 95 out of 100 confidence intervals will contain the true mean for the parameter of interest.

Part c

If we have the same info but we want more confidence that implies that the confidence interval would be wider, since the margin of erroe increase with more confidence, because the critical value increase.

Part d

We need to take in count that the margin of error is given by:

ME=t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}

Assuming that we have the same confidence level and the value for the deviation s not changes. If we see if we decrease the sample size, then the margin of error would be lower since the original sample size was 1151. So then if we use 500 Americans we would have a lower value for the margin of error for this new interval. And then our confidence interval would smaller than the original.

What two fractions are equivalent to 3/10
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

6/20 and 9/30

Step-by-step explanation:

Any fraction that can be simplified to 3/10 by dividing the numerator and the denominator is considered equivalent. If you look at the fractions above 6/20 is literally the same thing as 3/10 but I just multiplied the 3 and 10 times 2. As long as you multiply/divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same number the answer you get should be equivalent.
