The sum of two numbers is 85. twice one number plus four times the other is 218. find the numbers

1 answer:

6 0

X + y = 85
2x + 4y = 218
x = 85 - y
2(85 - y) + 4y = 218 
170 - 2y + 4y = 218 
170 + 2y = 218 
2y = 48 
y = 24 
x = 61

Answer:

The calculated 99% confidence interval is wider than the 95% confidence interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

95% confidence interval for the population proportion

(0.65, 0.69)

Let $\hat{p}$ be the sample proportion

Confidence interval:

$p \pm z_{stat}(\text{Standard error})$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

Let x be the standard error, then, we can write

$\hat{p} - 1.96x = 0.65\\\hat{p}+1.96x = 0.69$

Solving the two equations, we get,

$2\hat{p} = 0.65 + 0.69\\\\\hat{p} = \dfrac{1.34}{2} = 0.67\\\\x = \dfrac{0.69 - 0.67}{1.96} \approx 0.01$

99% Confidence interval:

$p \pm z_{stat}(\text{Standard error})$

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.01} = 2.58$

Putting values, we get,

$0.67 \pm 2.58(0.01)\\=0.67 \pm 0.0258\\=(0.6442,0.6958)$

Thus, the calculated 99% confidence interval is wider than the 95% confidence interval .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substract the wavength of the violet light to the wavelength of the red light:

(6.5 x 10^-7 m) - (4.0 x 10^-7 m) = 2.5 x 10^-7 m

After years of maintaining a steady population of 32,000, the population of a town begins to grow exponentially. After 1 year an

elixir [45]

Answer:

The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

Initial population: 32,000

Growth per year: 8%

Years: x

So, to obtain "y" (the number of people living in the town after x years), we have to multiply the initial population by 1+ 0.08 (the growth rate is 8%/100=0.08 and the original value) and the number of years (x).

Mathematically speaking:

y = 32,000 (1+0.08) x

y= 32,000 (1.08) x

The equation used to predict the number of people living in the town after x years is y = 32,000 (1.08)x
