1 answer:

7 0

7 cups of flour ... 9 people
x cups of flour = ? ... 15 people

If you would like to know how many cups are needed to make a cake for 15 people, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7 * 15 = 9 * x /9
x = 7 * 15 / 9
x = 35/3
x = 11 2/3 cups of flour

Result: 11 2/3 cups of flour are needed to make a cake for 15 people.

When sample size increases Group of answer choices

Olenka [21]

Answer:

Option A)

Confidence interval decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

If we increase the sample size, then,

The standard error of the interval decrease.
If the standard error increase, the margin of error of the interval decrease.
If the margin of error decreases, the width of the confidence level decreases, hence, the confidence interval become narrower.

Thus, the correct answer is

Option A)

Confidence interval decreases

Which is the approximate solution for the system of equations 3x+4y=2 and 4x+y=-4

harina [27]

$3x+4y=2\qquad\text{subtract 3x from both sides}\\\\4y=-3x+2\qquad\text{divide both sides by 4}\\\\y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{2}{4}\to y=-\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\for\ x=0\to y=-\dfrac{3}{4}(0)+\dfrac{1}{2}=0+\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\to\left(0,\ \dfrac{1}{2}\right)\\\\for\ x=2\to y=-\dfrac{3}{4}(2)+\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}=-\dfrac{2}{2}=-1\to(2,\ -1)\\--------------------------------\\$

$4x+y=-4\qquad\text{subtract 4x from both sides}\\\\y=-4x-4\\\\for\ x=0\to y=-4(0)-4=0-4=-4\to(0,\ -4)\\\\for\ x=-1\to y=-4(-1)-4=4-4=0\to(-1,\ 0)\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{A.\ (-1.4,\ 1.5)}$

Solve this system of equations using substitution. Put your answer in ordered pair form, (x, y).3x + 2y = 2 -2x + y = 8

gregori [183]

-2x + y = 8
y = 2x + 8
now sub in 2x + 8 for y in the other equation
3x + 2y = 2
3x + 2(2x + 8) = 2...distribute the 2 thru the parenthesis
3x + 4x + 16 = 2
7x = 2 - 16
7x = - 14
x = -14/7
x = -2
now sub -2 in for x in either equation to find y
-2x + y = 8
-2(-2) + y = 8
4 + y = 8
y = 8 - 4
y = 4

solution is : (-2,4)
