Answer:

$x = 14$

$y = -3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2x + 8y =4$

$x = -3y + 5$

Required

Solve

Substitute $x = -3y + 5$ in $2x + 8y =4$

$2(-3y + 5) + 8y =4$

Open bracket

$-6y + 10 + 8y =4$

Collect like terms

$-6y + 8y =4-10$

$2y =-6$

Divide both sides by 2

$y = -3$

Substitute $y = -3$ in $x = -3y + 5$

$x = -3 * -3 + 5$

$x = 9+ 5$

$x = 14$

Which number line represents the solutions to 1-2x1 = 4?

kaheart [24]

Answer:

Third option: $x = -2$ and $x = 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$|-2x|=4$

For a modulus function, if $|f(x)|=a$ , then,

$f(x)=\pm a$

Here, $f(x)=-2x$ , $a=4$

∴ $-2x=\pm 4\\ -2x=-4\textrm{ or } -2x=4\\ x=\frac{-4}{-2}\textrm{ or }x=\frac{4}{-2}\\ x= 2\textrm{ or }x=-2$

Therefore, the third option is the correct answer as the graph has $x$ values as -2 and 2

A random sample of 100 observations from a quantitative population produced a sample mean of 22.8 and a sample standard deviatio

natima [27]

Answer:

We conclude that the population mean is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 24

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 22.8

Sample size, n = 100

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 8.3

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 24\\H_A: \mu \neq 24$

We use Two-tailed z test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$z_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{22.8 - 24}{\frac{8.3}{\sqrt{100}} } = -1.44$

We calculate the p-value with the help of standard z table.

P-value = 0.1498

Since the p-value is greater than the significance level, we accept the null hypothesis. The population mean is 24.

Now, $z_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance } = \pm 1.96$

Since, the z-statistic lies in the acceptance region which is from -1.96 to +1.96, we accept the null hypothesis and conclude that the population mean is 24.
