Answer: D. (8, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 8 --------------(1)

x - y = 12--------------(2)

eqn(2) × 3

3x - 3y = 36-----------(4)

eqn(4) - eqn(1)

-7y = 28

Divide bothside by -7

y = -4

Again, multiply eqn(2) by 4

4x - 4y = 48 ---------------(5)

eqn(5) + eqn(1)

7x = 56

Divide bothside by 7

x = 8

Therefore x=8 and y=-4

STEP 1: Multiply second equation by -3.

After multiplying we have the following system:

3x+4y−3x+3y=8=−36

STEP 2: add the two equations together to eliminate x from the system.

7y=−28

STEP 3: find y

y=−4

STEP 4: substitute the value for y into the original equation to solve for x.

3x+4(−4)=8

x=8

Assume that trees are subjected to different levels of carbon dioxide atmosphere with 7% of the trees in a minimal growth condit

taurus [48]

Answer: The mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

For 370 parts per million = 7% = 0.07

For 440 parts per million = 10% = 0.10

For 550 parts per million = 49% = 0.49

For 670 parts per million = 34% = 0.34

So, Mean of the carbon dioxide atmosphere for these trees would be

$E[x]=370\times 0.07+440\times 0.1+550\times 0.49+670\times 0.34=567.2$

And

$E[x^2]=370^2\times 0.07+440^2\times 0.1+550^2\times 0.49+670^2\times 0.34=329794$

So, Variance would be

$Var\ x=E[x^2]-E[x]^2=329794-567.2^2=8078.16$

So, the standard deviation would be

$\sigma=\sqrt{8078.16}=89.88$

Hence, the mean and standard deviation are 567.2 and 89.88 resp.
