6 times a larger number (so 6y) is equal (=) to the sum of a snaller number and 18 (x+18)

6y = x + 18
2y = x + 6 subtract :-

4y = 12
y = 3

substitute y=3 into second equation:-
6 = x + 6
so x = 0

solution is x=0.y=3

I'm not sure what techniques you've been looking at to solve a system like this, but substitution would be a good one to use. Solve one of the equations for one of the variables (pick an easy one). How about using the first equation and solving for x:
6y = x + 18
x = 6y - 18
Now, plug in the expression for x into the other equation:
2y - (6y - 18) = 6
Solve that for y, then use the answer to find x.

If the shape in the diagram rotates about the dashed line, which three-dimensional object will be formed?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Cone

Step-by-step explanation:

Rotation means the circular moment of an object about some axis or center.

In the given figure, the shape is rotated along the dashed line.

The size of the object remains same after rotation.

After rotating about the dashed line, we observe that the object formed is three- dimensional and is in the shape of a cone.

g In a certain rural county, a public health researcher spoke with 111 residents 65-years or older, and 28 of them had obtained

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

95% confidence interval for the percent of the 65-plus population that were getting the flu shot is [0.169 , 0.331].

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a certain rural county, a public health researcher spoke with 111 residents 65-years or older, and 28 of them had obtained a flu shot.

Firstly, the Pivotal quantity for 95% confidence interval for the population proportion is given by;

P.Q. = $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p$ = sample proportion of residents 65-years or older who had obtained a flu shot = $\frac{28}{111}$ = 0.25

n = sample of residents 65-years or older = 111

p = population proportion of residents who were getting the flu shot

Here for constructing 95% confidence interval we have used One-sample z test for proportions.

So, 95% confidence interval for the population proportion, p is ;

P(-1.96 < N(0,1) < 1.96) = 0.95 {As the critical value of z at 2.5% level

of significance are -1.96 & 1.96}

P(-1.96 < $\frac{\hat p-p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < 1.96) = 0.95

P( $-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < ${\hat p-p}$ < $1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

P( $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ < p < $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ) = 0.95

95% confidence interval for p = [ $\hat p-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ , $\hat p+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} } }$ ]

= [ $0.25-1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{111} } }$ , $0.25+1.96 \times {\sqrt{\frac{0.25(1-0.25)}{111} } }$ ]
