Answer:

x = 6, y = -5.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x + 8y = -4

-6x - 10y = 14 Adding will eliminate the terms in x:

0 - 2y = 10

y = 10/-2 = -5,

Plug this into the second equation:

-6x - 10(-5) = 14

-6x = 14 - 50 = -36

x = -36/-6

x = 6.

Answer:

x = 6

y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the 2 together because the 6x and -6x cancel out

6x + 8y = -4

+(-6x - 10y = 14)

-2y = 10

$\frac{-2y}{-2} = \frac{10}{-2}$

y = -5

Then plug into y to get x.

6x + 8(-5) = -4

6x - 40 = -4

+ 40 + 40

6x = 36

$\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{36}{6}$

x = 6

200 ml of milk

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number. The amount barely needed for 300 ml of milk is 45 grams.

<h3>What is a Ratio?</h3>

A ratio shows us the number of times a number contains another number.

The need for barley in 200 ml of milk is 30 grams, therefore, the need for barley in 1 ml of milk can be written as,

Need of barely in 1 ml of milk = 30/200

Now, the amount of barely that will be needed for 300 ml of milk will be,

The amount of barely in 300 ml of milk = (30/200)×300 = 45 grams.

Hence, the amount barely needed for 300 ml of milk is 45 grams.

Toxaphene is an insecticide that has been identified as a pollutant in the Great Lakes ecosystem. To investigate the effect of t

Answer:

This data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $\sigma_{1}^{2}$ be the variance for the population of weight gains for rats given a low dose, and $\sigma_{2}^{2}$ the variance for the population of weight gains for control rats whose diet did not include the insecticide.

We want to test $H_{0}: \sigma_{1}^{2} = \sigma_{2}^{2}$ vs $H_{1}: \sigma_{1}^{2} > \sigma_{2}^{2}$ . We have that the sample standard deviation for $n_{2} = 22$ female control rats was $s_{2} = 28$ g and for $n_{1} = 18$ female low-dose rats was $s_{1} = 51$ g. So, we have observed the value

$F = \frac{s_{1}^{2}}{s_{2}^{2}} = \frac{(51)^{2}}{(28)^{2}} = 3.3176$ which comes from a F distribution with $n_{1} - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17$ degrees of freedom (numerator) and $n_{2} - 1 = 22 - 1 = 21$ degrees of freedom (denominator).

As we want carry out a test of hypothesis at the significance level of 0.05, we should find the 95th quantile of the F distribution with 17 and 21 degrees of freedom, this value is 2.1389. The rejection region is given by {F > 2.1389}, because the observed value is 3.3176 > 2.1389, we reject the null hypothesis. So, this data suggest that there is more variability in low-dose weight gains than in control weight gains.
