Use a matrix equation to solve the system of linear equations. left brace Start 2 By 1 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 2nd Row 1st Col
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&\\-1&1/2\\\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix system for the linear equations: x + 2y = 8, 2x + 6y = 9

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&\\2&6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}8\\9\end{array}\right]

To get the coefficient of x and y, the inverse of the first matrix (let the first matrix be A) must be known.

A^{-1} = (1 / determinant of A) x Adjoint of A

the determinant of A = (1 x 6) - (2 x 2) = 6 - 4 = 2

Adjoint of A = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&-2&\\-2&1\\\end{array}\right]

A^{-1}= \frac{1}{2} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&-2\\-2&1\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-1&\\-1&1/2\\\end{array}\right]

diamong [38]

Answer:

0.070

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = number on trial

Y has a negative binomial distribution

r = 3

P = 30% = 0.3 probability of positive indication.

P(Y = 11) probability of 11 employees that must be tested to get 3 positives

Y-1Cr-1*p^r*q^(y-r)

Y-1 = 11-1 = 10

r-1 = 3 -1 = 2

10C2 x 0.3³x0.7⁸

45x0.027x0.05764801

= 0.070

This is the probability that 11 employees must be tested to get 3 positives.

Can someone help me solve D, a, or/and b
Margaret [11]

Answer:

slop = (175 - 125) \div (2 - 1) = 50 \\ y - 125 = 50 \times (x - 1) \\ y = 50x - 50 + 125 \\ y = 50x + 75

you can solve problems by this equation
