A research company desires to know the mean consumption of meat per week among people over age 23. A sample of 164 people over a

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

The 80% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among people over age 23 is between 4 and 4.2 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.8}{2} = 0.1$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.1 = 0.9$ , so $z = 1.28$

Now, find M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

$M = 1.28*\frac{0.7}{\sqrt{164}} = 0.07$

The lower end of the interval is the mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.1 - 0.07 = 4.03 pounds

The upper end of the interval is the mean added to M. So it is 4.1 + 0.07 = 4.17 pounds

Rounded to one decimal place

The 80% confidence interval for the mean consumption of meat among people over age 23 is between 4 and 4.2 pounds.

Please help me I need to solve by factoring!!

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2=15x

Subtract 15x from both sides

3x^2-15x=0

Factor out 3x

3x(x-5)=0

Since 0 divided by any number is zero, we get that:

x-5=0

x=5

Pls solve the simultaneous equation in the attachment.

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Part a) The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) we have

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{y}{5}=1$ ----> equation A

$y-\frac{x}{3}=8$ ----> equation B

Multiply equation A by 10 both sides to remove the fractions

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

isolate the variable y in equation B

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

we have the system of equations

$5x-2y=10$ ----> equation C

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$ ----> equation D

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation D in equation C

$5x-2(\frac{x}{3}+8)=10$

solve for x

$5x-\frac{2x}{3}-16=10$

Multiply by 3 both sides

$15x-2x-48=30$

$15x-2x=48+30$

Combine like terms

$13x=78$

$x=6$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

$y=\frac{x}{3}+8$

$y=\frac{6}{3}+8$

$y=10$

The solution is the ordered pair (6,10)

Part b) we have

$xy=21$ ---> equation A

$x+5y=22$ ----> equation B

isolate the variable x in the equation B

$x=22-5y$ ----> equation C

substitute equation C in equation A

$(22-5y)y=21$

solve for y

$22y-5y^2=21$

$5y^2-22y+21=0$

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solutions are y=1.4, y=3

see the attached figure

<em>Find the values of x</em>

For y=1.4

$x=22-5(1.4)=15$

For y=3

$x=22-5(3)=7$

therefore

The solutions are the ordered pairs (7,3) and (15,1.4)

A trust fund worth $25,000 is invested in two different portfolios, this year, one portfolio is expected to earn 5.25% interest

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25% is $12,000 and the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4% is $13,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

$I=P(rt)$

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest

t is Number of Time Periods

Let

x ------> the amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25%

25,000-x -----> the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4%

in this problem we have

$t=1\ year\\ P_1=\$x\\P_2=\$(25,000-x)\\r_1=0.0525\\r_2=0.04\\I=\$1,150$

substitute in the formula above

$I=P_1(r_1t)+P_2(r_2t)$

$1,150=x(0.0525*1)+(25,000-x)(0.04*1)$

Solve for x

$1,150=0.0525x+1,000-0.04x$

$0.0525x-0.04x=1,150-1,000$

$0.0125x=150$

$x=\$12,000$

$|$25,000-x=\$13,000$

therefore

The amount of money that should be invested at the rate of 5.25% is $12,000 and the amount money that should be invested at the rate of 4% is $13,000
