Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

1. 1/5x - 1/3y = -1

2. -3/4x +1/3y = 12

Multiplying equation 1 by 15 and equation 2 by 12

3. 3x - 5y = -15

4. -9x + 4y = 144

and then Solving both equations simultaneously, since x = -20 as stated in the question and by confirmation,

Using equation 3 or 4 to solve for y,

3(-20) - 5y = -15

-5y = 60 - 15

y = 45/-5

= -9

y = -9

The range of values for the sample mean that fall within 1 standard error of the mean in a sampling distribution is M39 to M43.
marusya05 [52]

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

The range of values for the sample mean that fall within 1 standard error of the mean in a sampling distribution is M = 39 to M = 43. What Is the mean of the sampling distribution, and what is the standard error

a) mean = 41, standard error = 2

b) mean = 39 or 43, standard error = 2

c) mean = 41, standard error = 4

e) the mean and standard error are unknowns

Given Information:  

Standard error = 1

Range of values = 39 to 43

Required Information:  

Mean and standard error = ?

Answer:

Mean is 41 and Standard error is 2

Explanation:

We know that the mean and standard error are related as

s = μ + (1)ο

s = μ - (1)ο

43 = μ + (1)ο

39 = μ - (1)ο

option (a) satisfies the above equations

43 = 41 + (1)2

43 = 43

39 = 41 - (1)2

39 = 39

Therefore, the correct option is (a)

Mean is 41 and standard error is 2

A. Sketch the curve by using the parametric equations to plot points. Indicate with an arrow the direction in which the curve is
Furkat [3]

Answer:

y  =  2 -  ( x - 1)²/9

Step-by-step explanation: See Annex

As the parameter t increases,  the value of x increases and the value of y decreases, we get the figure of the annex ( the arrow in the Annex indicates the way of the curve with t increasing.

b) to eliminate the parameter:

x  =  1  + 3*t    (1)          y  =  2  -  t²  (2)

Then  from equation (1)  t  = ( x  - 1 ) / 3

plugging that value in equation (2)

y  =  2  -  [ (  x  -  1 ) / 3 ]²

y  =  2  - ( x² + 1 - 2*x)/9

9*y  =  18  - x² + 1 - 2*x    or    y  =  2 -  ( x - 1)²/9

The curve is a parabol
