We have two equation with two unknowns. Therefore, we can solve the x and y easily. There are a number of methods to apply here but I will be using substitution method. We do as follows:

-2x + y = 1
y = 1 + 2x

4x + y = -1
4x + 1 + 2x = -1
6x = -1 -1
6x = -2
x = -1/3

y= 1 + 2(-1/3)
y = 1/3

Answer:

The solution for the given  system of equations is (\frac{-1}{3},\frac{1}{3})

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system of equation

 -2x + y = 1   ......(1)

  4x + y = -1   ......(2)

We have to find the solution for the given  system of equations.

We use elimination method,

In elimination method we make the coefficient of one variable same and then eliminate that variable by using suitable operation, and then solve for other variable.

Subtract equation (1) from  (2) , we get,

⇒ 4x + y - ( -2x + y) = -1 - 1  

⇒ 4x + y + 2x - y = -1 - 1  

⇒ 4x + 2x = -2

⇒ 6x = -2

⇒ x=\frac{-1}{3}

Substitute x=\frac{-1}{3} in (1) , we get,

-2x + y = 1 \Rightarrow -2(\frac{-1}{3} )+y=1 \Rightarrow (\frac{2}{3} ) + y = 1\\\\\Rightarrow y= 1-(\frac{2}{3} ) \Rightarrow y=(\frac{1}{3} )

Thus, The solution for the given  system of equations is (\frac{-1}{3},\frac{1}{3})

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Sleep Deprivation

In a recent study, volunteers who had 8 hours of sleep were three times more likely to answer correctly on a math test than were sleep-deprived participants.

(a) Identify the sample used in the study.

(b) What is the sample's population?

(c) Which part of the study represents the descriptive branch of statitics?

(d) Make an inference based on the results of the study?

Solution

A. The samples used is the hours of sleep and math test scores of the volunteers

B. The samples population is hours of sleep and math test scores of people in general

C. The part of the study that represent the descriptive branch of statistics is "three times more likely"

D.Inference: To perform well in a math test, a person should get at least 8 hours of sleep the night before.
