Answer:

x=-2, y=-3. (-2, -3).

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x+4y=-2

2x-7y=17

-------------------

2(-5x+4y)=2(-2)

5(2x-7y)=5(17)

---------------------

-10x+8y=-4

10x-35y=85

-------------------

-27y=81

y=81/-27

y=-3

2x-7(-3)=17

2x+21=17

2x=17-21

2x=-4

x=-4/2

x=-2

I need help with these ASAP thanks

Answer:

a. $y=\frac{2x}{x-5}$

b. $y=\frac{2-4x}{x-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

change switch x and y and then solve for y.

a. $x=\frac{5y}{y-2}$

$x(y-2)=5y$

$xy-2x=5y$

$xy-5y=2x$

$y(x-5)=2x$

$y=\frac{2x}{x-5}$

same for b.

b. $x=\frac{3y+2}{y+4}$

$x(y+4)=3y+2$

$xy+4x=3y+2$

$xy-3y=2-4x$

$y(x-3)=2-4x$

$y=\frac{2-4x}{x-3}$

Ian is a phycologist interested in determining the proportion of algae samples from a local rivulet that belonged to a particula

pickupchik [31]

Answer: 16590

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we use to find the sample size is given by :-

, where p = prior estimate of population proportion.

$z^*$ = Critical z-value (Two- tailed)

E= Margin of error .

Let p be the population proportion of cyanobacteria.

Given : E = 0.01

Critical value for 99% confidence interval : $z^*=2.576$

If Ian does not want to rely on previous knowledge , then we assume p=0.5 because the largest standard error is at p=0.5.

Now, the required sample size = $n=0.5(1-0.5)(\frac{2.576}{0.01})^2$

$n=0.25(257.6)^2=0.25(66357.76)=16589.44\approx16590$

Required sample size = 16590

For the month of March in a certain city, 57% of the days are cloudy. Also in the month of March in the same city, 55% of the da

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer: 0.9649

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A denote the event that the days are cloudy and B denotes the event that the days are rainy.

Given : For the month of March in a certain city, the probability that days are cloudy : $P(A)=0.57$

Also in the month of March in the same city,, the probability that the days are cloudy and rainy : $P(A\cap B)=0.55$

Now by using the conditional probability, the probability that a randomly selected day in March will be rainy if it is cloudy will be :-

$P(B|A)=\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}$

$\Rightarrow\ P(B|A)=\dfrac{0.55}{0.57}\\\\=0.964912280702\approx0.9649\ \ \text{[Rounded to four decimal places.]}$

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected day in March will be rainy if it is cloudy = 0.9649
