Solution: ​(a) if 200 adult smokers are randomly​ selected, how many would we expect to have started smoking before turning 18 years​ old?

Answer: It is expected that in a random sample of 200 adult smokers, 0.70 (200)=140 will have started smoking before turning 18.

​(b) would it be unusual to observe 160 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 200 adult​ smokers? why?

Answer: Yes, it would be unusual to observe 160 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 200 adult​ smokers, because 160 is greater than μ + 2σ

Solve the system by using a matrix equation (Picture provided)
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Option b is correct (8,13).

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 4y = 4

10x - 6y =2

it can be represented in matrix form as\left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-4\\10&-6\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{c}4\\2\end{array}\right]

A= \left[\begin{array}{cc}7&-4\\10&-6\end{array}\right]

X= \left[\begin{array}{c}x\\y\end{array}\right]

B= \left[\begin{array}{c}4\\2\end{array}\right]

i.e, AX=B

or X= A⁻¹ B

A⁻¹ = 1/|A| * Adj A

determinant of A = |A|= (7*-6) - (-4*10)

                                    = (-42)-(-40)

                                    = (-42) + 40 = -2

so, |A| = -2

Adj A=  \left[\begin{array}{cc}-6&4\\-10&7\end{array}\right]

A⁻¹ =  \left[\begin{array}{cc}-6&4\\-10&7\end{array}\right]/ -2

A⁻¹ =  \left[\begin{array}{cc}3&-2\\5&-7/2\end{array}\right]

X= A⁻¹ B

X=  \left[\begin{array}{cc}3&-2\\5&-7/2\end{array}\right] *\left[\begin{array}{c}4\\2\end{array}\right]

X= \left[\begin{array}{c}(3*4) + (-2*2)\\(5*4) + (-7/2*2)\end{array}\right]

X= \left[\begin{array}{c}12-4\\20-7\end{array}\right]

X= \left[\begin{array}{c}8\\13\end{array}\right]

x= 8, y= 13

solution set= (8,13).

Option b is correct.

Suppose you and a friend form a band. You want to record a demo. Sony Studios rents for $150 plus $20 an hour. Capitol Studios r
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

200 < 225 + 80x < 550

The 200 is the amount the Jenna currently have.

225 + 80x is the amount that Jenna has to pay given x number of hours.

550 is the sum of Jenna's 200 and additional 350 she can get by selling pre-ordered Cds. This is the maximum amount she can pay for the studio rental and sound technicians.

Step-by-step explanation:

225 + 80x < 550

80x < 550 -225

80x < 325

80x / 80 < 325/80

x < 4.06 or 4 hours

225 + 80x → 225 + 80(4) = 225 + 320 = 545

The number of hours for the sound technician will range from 1 hour to 4 hours.

Assuming they will use 6 hours.

225 + 80(6) = 225 + 480 = 705

705 - 550 = 155

Jenna has to raise an additional $155 to pay off the studio rent and 6 hours of sound technicians.

this might be wrong but, i hope it helps
