<u>the correct question is</u>

The denarius was a unit of currency in ancient rome. Suppose it costs the roman government 10 denarii per day to support 4 legionaries and 4 archers. It only costs 5 denarii per day to support 2 legionaries and 2 archers. Use a system of linear equations in two variables. Can we solve for a unique cost for each soldier?

Let

x-------> the cost to support a legionary per day

y-------> the cost to support an archer per day

we know that

4x+4y=10 ---------> equation 1

2x+2y=5 ---------> equation 2

If you multiply equation 1 by 2

2*(2x+2y)=2*5-----------> 4x+4y=10

so

equation 1 and equation 2 are the same

The system has infinite solutions-------> Is a consistent dependent system

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

We cannot solve for a unique cost for each soldier, because there are infinite solutions.

How would you convince a fellow student that the number 0.57 is a rational number? (5+ sentences please) Please help me with thi
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:  0.57 = 57/100 this means it has to be rational.

Explanation: You have to explain to them that any number that can be written in fraction form is a rational number. This includes integers, terminating decimals, and repeating decimals as well as fractions. An integer can be written as a fraction simply by giving it a denominator of one, so any integer is a rational number.

At a university, 60% of the 7,400 students are female. The student newspaper reports the results of a survey of a random sample
omeli [17]

Given Information:

Population mean = p  = 60% = 0.60

Population size = N = 7400

Sample size = n = 50

Required Information:

Sample mean = μ = ?

standard deviation = σ = ?

Answer:

Sample mean = μ = 0.60

standard deviation = σ = 0.069

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the central limit theorem, the sampling distribution is approximately normal as long as the expected number of successes and failures are equal or greater than 10

np ≥ 10

50*0.60 ≥ 10

30 ≥ 10 (satisfied)

n(1 - p) ≥ 10

50(1 - 0.60) ≥ 10

50(0.40) ≥ 10

20 ≥ 10  (satisfied)

The mean of the sampling distribution will be same as population mean that is

Sample mean = p = μ = 0.60

The standard deviation for this sampling distribution is given by

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n} }

Where p is the population mean that is proportion of female students and n is the sample size.

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.60(1-0.60)}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.60(0.40)}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0.24}{50} }\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{0.0048} }\\\\\sigma =  0.069

Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution is 0.069.
