Answer:

By the Chebyshev Theorem, at least 75% of commuters in Boston has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev Theorem

The Chebyshev Theorem can also be applied to non-normal distribution. It states that:

At least 75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

At least 89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

An in general terms, the percentage of measures within k standard deviations of the mean is given by 100(1 - \frac{1}{k^{2}}).

What minimum percentage of commuters in Boston has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean

By the Chebyshev Theorem, at least 75% of commuters in Boston has a commute time within 2 standard deviations of the mean

How many solutions does this linear system have?
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x = 0 , y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y = 4 - 3 x | (equation 1)

x + 2 y = 8 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{3 x + y = 4 | (equation 1)

x + 2 y = 8 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/3 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{3 x + y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+(5 y)/3 = 20/3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 3/5:

{3 x + y = 4 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{3 x+0 y = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 3:

{x+0 y = 0 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 4 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = 0 , y = 4

Y=1/4x−2y=−2x+3 help solve problem.
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

  (x, y) = (2 2/9, -1 4/9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Equate the values of y and solve for x.

  1/4x -2 = -2x +3

  (2 1/4)x = 5 . . . . . . . . add 2+2x to both sides

  x = 20/9 = 2 2/9 . . . multiply by 4/9

  y = -2(2 2/9) +3 = -4 4/9 +3 . . . . substitute for x in the second equation

  y = -1 4/9

The solution is x = 2 2/9, y = -1 4/9.

the sum of three integers is 92. the second number is three times the first number. the third number is ten less than twice the
Elanso [62]

1st number = x

 2nd number = 3x

3rd number = 2x-10

x +3x + 2x-10 =92

6x - 10 = 92

6x =102

x = 102/6

x = 17

1st number = 17

2nd number = 17*3 = 51

 3rd number = 17 *2 = 34-10 = 24

17 + 51 + 24 = 92

 3 numbers are 17, 51 and 24
