$684 = 4(x + $19) is the equation.

To find the price of one ticket,

$684 = 4(x + $19)

Divide each side by 4.

$171 = x + $19.

Subtract $19 from each side.

$152 = x.

The price of one ticket is $152

Is 2 and 4.5 equivalent

o-na [289]

2 and 4.5 is not equivilant since 2 and 4.5 cannot go together (the 0.5 does not help and so it does not make it equivalent.)

Hope this helped!

The quality control manager of a chemical company randomly sampled twenty 100-pound bags of fertilizer to estimate the variance

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Data given and notation

$s^2 =6.62$ represent the sample variance

s=2.573 represent the sample standard deviation

$\bar x$ represent the sample mean

n=20 the sample size

Confidence=95% or 0.95

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population mean or variance lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

The Chi square distribution is the distribution of the sum of squared standard normal deviates .

2) Calculating the confidence interval

The confidence interval for the population variance is given by the following formula:

$\frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{\alpha/2}} \leq \sigma^2 \frac{(n-1)s^2}{\chi^2_{1-\alpha/2}}$

On this case the sample variance is given and for the sample deviation is just the square root of the sample variance.

The next step would be calculate the critical values. First we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

$df=n-1=20-1=19$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical values.

The excel commands would be: "=CHISQ.INV(0.025,19)" "=CHISQ.INV(0.975,19)". so for this case the critical values are:

$\chi^2_{\alpha/2}=32.852$

$\chi^2_{1- \alpha/2}=8.907$

And replacing into the formula for the interval we got:

$\frac{(19)(6.62)}{32.852} \leq \sigma^2 \frac{(19)(6.62)}{8.907}$

$3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$

So the 95% confidence interval for the variance in the pounds of impurities would be $3.829 \leq \sigma^2 \leq 14.121$ .

Question 14

Reil [10]

Answer:

The system of equations has a one unique solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:

1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or

2) if the slopes have the exact same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or

3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)

So we write them in slope -intercept form:

First equation:

$6x+y=-1\\y=-6x-1$

second equation:

$-6x-4y=4\\-6x=4y+4\\-6x-4=4y\\y=-\frac{3}{2} x-1$

So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.
