Answer:

x = 2

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 2y = 14

2x + y = 3

In order to find the number x represents, you have to make the number of y for both equations the same. So:

8x + 2y = 14

(×2) 4x + 2y = 6 (×2)

Then, you can cancel the y off both equations, which will leave:

8x = 14

4x = 6

To find 4x, you have to find the difference between both equations, so you have to:

14 - 6 = 8

Now that the actual number 4x represents is 8, so:

4x = 8

(÷4) x = 2 (÷4)

Now to find y, substitute the letter x with 2:

2x + y = 3

2 (2) + y = 3

4 + y = 3

4 - 3 = -y

1 = -y

(× -) -1 = y (× -)

Answer: x = 2

y = -1

Hope this helps! :)

Write a linear function ff with f(4)=−3f(4)=−3 and f(0)=−2f(0)=−2

Nonamiya [84]

The line goes through the points (4,-3) and (0,-2), so its gradient is (-2-(-3))/(0-4) = -1/4. The y-intercept is -2 because f(0)=-2. So the equation of the line is y = -1/4 x - 2.This can be represented by the linear function f(x) = (-1/4)x - 2. The composite function ff is given by ff(x) = f(-1/4 x - 2) = (-1/4)((-1/4)x - 2) - 2 = x/16 - 3/2.

A doctor wants to estimate the mean HDL cholesterol of all 20- to 29-year-old females. The number of subjects needed to estima

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

$n=(\frac{1.64(14.7)}{3})^2 =64.57 \approx 65$

So the answer for this case would be n=65 rounded up to the nearest integer

And the sample size would decrease by 160-65=95 subjects

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

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 means 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.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

ME represent the margin of error

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

$\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}$ (1)

2) Solution to the problem

Since the new Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
