$there \ are \ 28 \ members \\ the \ number \ of \ members \ renting \ skis - x\\the \ number \ of \ members \ renting \ snowboards - y\\skis \ rent \ for \ \$16.00 \ a \ day \ and \ snowboards \ rent \ for \ \$19.00 \ a \ day\\\\\begin{cases} x+y=28 \ \ / \cdot (-16) \\ 16x+19y = 478 \end{cases}$

$\begin{cases} -16x-16y=-448 \\ 16x+19y = 478 \end{cases}\\+ -------\\3y=30 \ \ / :3 \\y=10 \\ \\
x+y=28\\x+10=28\\x=28-10\\x=18 \\ \\ Answer: \ 18 \ members \ rented \ skis .

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of $\pi$ , and a confidence level of $1-\alpha$ , we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

$\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}$ .

The margin of error is:

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

25% of all adults had used the Internet for such a purpose

This means that $\pi = 0.25$

95% confidence level

So $\alpha = 0.05$ , z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of $1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975$ , so $Z = 1.96$ .

What is the required sample size for the new study?

This is n for which M = 0.03. So

$M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}$

$0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.25*0.75)}{n}}$

$0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}$

$\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03}$

$(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.25*0.75}}{0.03})^2$

$n = 800.3$

Rounding up:

The required sample size for the new study is 801.

Equation parallel to y = 3x + 2 and passing through (1, 1)

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

y = 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, then

y = 3x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (1, 1) into the partial equation

1 = 3 + c ⇒ c = 1 - 3 = - 2

y = 3x - 2 ← equation of line
