Answer:
In 2015 the both populations were the same and from that year the population of millennials surpassed the population of boomers
Step-by-step explanation:
x=14
Boomer: 10(14)+13y=1125
140+13y=1125
13y=1125-140
y= 985/13
y= 75.77 (75.77 millions of boomers in 2014)
Millenials: -2(14) +7y = 495
-28 +7y = 495
7y= 495+28
y= 523/7
y=74.71 (74.71 millios on millenials in 2014)
In 2014 the population of boombers were still greater than the population of millennials
The solution of the system of equations will give us the point where the populations were equalized, and from that point the population of boombers will be less than that of the millennials.
Boomers: 10x+13y = 1125
y= (-10x +1125)/13
Millenials: -2x+7y = 495
y= (2x+495)/7
We match both expressions of "y"
(-10x +1125)/13 =(2x+495)/7
cross multiply:
(-10x +1125)*7 =(2x+495)*13
-70x + 7875 = 26x + 6435
we group similar terms:
7875 -6435 = 26x+70x
1440 = 96x
x= 1440/96
x= 15
In 2015 the both populations were the same and from that year the population of millennials surpassed the population of boomers

Answer:
y = - 3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a linear function in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + b ( m is the slope and b the y- intercept )
To calculate m use the slope formula
m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (6, -21) ← 2 points from the table
m = =
= - 3
y = - 3x + b ← is the partial equation
To find b substitute any other point from the table into the partial equation
using (2, - 9), then
- 9 = - 6 + b ⇒ b = - 9 + 6 = - 3
y = - 3x - 3 ← linear relationship
Answer:
The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, but not for the population, so we use the students t-distribution to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 35 - 1 = 35
95% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 34 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of ). So we have T = 2.0322
The margin of error is:
M = T*s = 2.0322*30 = 60.97
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 204 + 60.97 = 264.97
The upper boundary of the 95% confidence interval for the average unload time is 264.97 minutes
The answer is B. Use distance formula...
