One solution

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a system of linear equations in two variables, we could have three possible cases:

<h3>Case 1. No solution.</h3>

This happens when the lines are parallel and have different y-intercepts.

<h3>Case 2. One solution.</h3>

This happens when the lines intersect at a single point.

<h3>Case 1. Infinitely many solutions</h3>

This happens when the lines are basically the same having the same slope and y-intercept.

So, let's rewrite our lines in Slope-intercept form $y=mx+b$ :

$Line \ 1: \\ \\ 4x-2y = 8 \\ \\ 2y=4x-8 \\ \\ y=\frac{4}{2}x-\frac{8}{2} \\ \\ y=2x-4 \\ \\ \\ Line \ 2: \\ \\ 2x + y = 2 \\ \\ y=-2x+2$

As you can see, they have different slopes and y-intercepts. So they will intersect at a single point which is the solution of the system. By using graphing tool we get that this point is (1.5, -1) as indicated in the figure below.

Answer:

Confidence interval variance [21.297 ; 64.493]

Confidence interval standard deviation;

4.615, 8.031

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Variance, s² = 34.34

Standard deviation, s = 5.86

Sample size, n = 27

Degree of freedom, df = 27 - 1 = 26

Using the relation for the confidence interval :

[s²(n - 1) / X²α/2, n-1] ; [s²(n - 1) / X²1-α/2, n-1]

From the chi distribition table :

X²α/2, n-1 = 41.923 ; X²1-α/2, n-1 = 13.844

Hence,

[34.34*26 / 41.923] ; [34.34*26 / 13.844]

[21.297 ; 64.493]

The 95% confidence interval for the population variance is :

21.297 < σ² < 64.493

Standard deviation is the square root of variance, hence,

The 95% confidence interval for the population standard deviation is :

4.615 < σ < 8.031

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

3 metres

Step-by-step explanation:

If we draw this out, we'll see that there are actually two similar right triangles (see attachment), which means that we can set up a proportion.

The height of the lookout tower corresponds to the height of the wooden column, while the shadow of the lookout tower corresponds to the shadow of the wooden column. We can then write:

(height of lookout tower) / (shadow of tower) = (height of column) / (shadow of column)

16 / 12 = 4 / x , where x is the shadow / unknown we want to find

Cross-multiply:

16x = 48

x = 3

The answer is thus 3 metres.
