2a+b=-7
5a+b=-13

b=-2a-7
5a-2a-7=-13
3a=-6
a=-2=first number

2(-2)+b=-7
-4+b+-7
b=-3=second

The diameter of a circle is 6 centimeters. What is the circle's area?<br><br> Use 3.14 for pi

Lynna [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter=

$2 \times\pi \times r = 6 \\ r = \frac{6}{2 \times 3.14} = 0.955 \\ area = \pi \times {r}^{2} = 3.14 \times {0.955}^{2} \\ = 2.87\: {cm}^{2}$

A clinical trial tests a method designed to increase the probability of conceiving a girl. In the study 335335 babies were born

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born is (74.37%, 85.63%).

Usually, 50% of the babies are girls. This confidence interval gives values considerably higher than that, so the method to increase the probability of conceiving a girl appears to be very effective.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence Interval for the proportion:

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:

$n = 335, \pi = \frac{268}{335} = 0.8$

99% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.01$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995$ , so $Z = 2.575$ .

The lower limit of this interval is:

$\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.8 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{335}} = 0.7437$

The upper limit of this interval is:

$\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.8 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.8*0.2}{335}} = 0.8563$

For the percentage:

Multiplying the proportions by 100.

The 99% confidence interval estimate of the percentage of girls born is (74.37%, 85.63%).

Usually, 50% of the babies are girls. This confidence interval gives values considerably higher than that, so the method to increase the probability of conceiving a girl appears to be very effective.
