A national survey showed that 44% of college students drink. A professor provided his own survey by choosing a random sample of

244 students and found that 96 of them drink. Is this an unusual result contradicting the national survey or it is in line with it? Answer the question by determining how far away the proportion is from 44% in terms of standard deviations.

Answer:

It is an unusual result contradicting the national survey.

Step-by-step explanation:

National survey showed 44% of college students who drink.

The professor's survey showed that 96/244 = 39% drink.

The professor's survey deviated from the national survey is 5% (44% - 39%) representing about 0.25% (5% squared) variance.

Standard deviation is the spread of a set of numbers from their mean.  In other words, it measures how far an observed value is from the mean. It can be calculated by getting the square root of the variance.

The perimeter of the triangle is 131 inches. Write an equation to find the length labeled x. Then solve the equation
Deffense [45]
Write the equation: x + 42 + 30 = 131

Combine like terms: x + 72 = 131

Subtract 72 from both sides: x = 59

Answer:  y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sites of a parallelogram should be equal length. Therefore 7y = y + 36, so 6y = 36 and thus y = \boxed{6}.

Maya wrote the following matrix equation to represent a system of equations:
Ne4ueva [31]
I am somehow confused with the given matrix. Because usually, when the system of equations is given as:

ax + by = c
dx + ey = f

the matrix would be written in this manner:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a&b&c\\d&e&f\end{array}\right]

Let me just assume that the arrangement of the given corresponds to this system of equations:

4x + 8y = 0
2x + 5y = 6

So you write it as 

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\2&5&6\end{array}\right]

In order to solve this, the matrix should look like this where x and y are the answers

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&x\\0&1&y\end{array}\right]


So, the first thing to do is apply this pattern: Row 2 = Row 1 - 2*Row 2. The result will be

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&8&0\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]

Next, Row 1 = (Row 1/4) + R2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&-2&-12\end{array}\right]

Lastly, Row 2 = Row 2 / -2:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&-12\\0&1&6\end{array}\right]

Thus, the answer is x=-12 and y=6.
