X = the number of humans and y = the number of horses.

x+y=74
2x+4y=196

Because the number of humans and horses together is 74, and the total number of legs (2 per every human, x, and 4 per every horse, y) is 196.  Then, just use elimination to solve.

-2(x+y=74)\\2x+4y=196\\\\-2x-2y=-148\\2x+4y=196\\\\2y=48\\y=24

So, now that you have y, you can plug it into the first equation to find x:

x+y=74\\x+24=74\\x=50

So, x = 50 and y = 24, so there are 50 humans and 24 horses.
The correct answer is B.

Answer: Y= 2 X=1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+y=4                  4x+2y=8

2x     =/2                     2y= /2

y=2                          4x=4

                               /4= /4

MrRa [10]

Answer:

<em> 85% level of the confidence interval is</em>

<em>(26.337, 26.662)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

Given the size of the sample 'n' = 295

Mean of the sample x⁻ = 26.5

The Standard deviation of the Population = 2.7

85% level of the confidence interval is determined by

(x^{-} - Z_{0.15} \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + Z_{0.15} \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} })

Critical value Z₀.₁₅ = 1.036

<em> 85% level of the confidence interval is determined by</em>

(x^{-} - Z_{0.15} \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} } , x^{-} + Z_{0.15} \frac{S.D}{\sqrt{n} })

(26.9 -1.036 \frac{2.7}{\sqrt{295} } , 26.5 + 1.036 \frac{2.7}{\sqrt{295} })

( 26.5 - 0.1628 , 26.5+0.1628)

(26.3372,26.6628)
