Answer:

52 young calves

Step-by-step explanation:

At a dairy farm the ratio of adult milking cows to young calves was 9:2. If there were 234 adult milking cows at the farm, how many young calves were there?

The ration is given as:

adult milking cows to young calves

= 9 : 2

= 234 : x

= 9/2 = 234/x

x = Number of young calves

Cross Multiply

9 × x = 2 × 234

= x = 2 × 234/9

x = 468/9

x = 52

Hence, the number of young calves on the farm is 52.

Show that the equation x^3+4x=6 has a solution between 1.1 and 1.2
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a solution between x = 1.1 and x = 1.2 then there will be a change in sign when the equation is evaluated at the points, indicating the graph has crossed the x- axis, where the solution lies.

Given

x³ + 4x = 6 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x³ + 4x - 6 = 0 ← in standard form

Evaluating for x = 1.1

(1.1)³ + 4(1.1) - 6

= 1.331 + 4.4 - 6 = - 0.269 ← < 0

Evaluating for x = 1.2

(1.2)³ + 4(1.2) - 6

= 1.728 + 4.8 - 6 = 0.528 ← > 0

Since there is a change in sign the graph has crossed the x-axis from below /   indicating a solution between x = 1.1 and x = 1.2

Solve the following system by the elimination method. Check the solution. 5x−5 = −7y, 3x+2y = - 8
torisob [31]
5x-5=-7y
3x+2y=-8

First, you need to rearrange the first equation so it is in the same format as the second one.
5x-5=-7y
Add 5 to both sides
5x-5+5=-7y+5
Add 7y to both sides
5x+7y=-7y+7y+5
So you have 5x+7y=5

Now you need to multiply that equation by 3
3(5x+7y=5)
15x+21y=15

Multiply the second equation by -5
-5(3x+2y=-8)
-15x-10y=40

Now add them together
15x+21y=15
+(-15x-10y=40)
---------------------
11y=55
y=5

Now plug y=5 into one of the original equations and solve for x.
3x+2(5)=-8 
3x+10=-8
3x=-8-10
3x=-18
x=-6

To check the solution plug them both into the other equation:
5(-6)-5=-7(5)
-30-5=-35
-35=-35

It checks.

Hope that helps.

A random sample of 21 observations is used to estimate the population mean. The sample mean and the sample standard deviation ar
stepladder [879]

Answer:

a. CI=[128.79,146.41]

b. CI=[122.81,152.39]

c. As the confidence level increases, the interval becomes wider.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. -Given the sample mean is 137.6 and the standard deviation is 20.60.

-The confidence intervals can be constructed using the formula;

\bar X\pm \ z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}},

where:

  • s is the sample standard deviation
  • z is the s value of the desired confidence interval

we then calculate our confidence interval as:

\bar X\pm z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=137.60\pm z_{0.05/2}\times\frac{20.60}{\sqrt{21}}\\\\=137.60\pm1.960\times \frac{20.60}{\sqrt{21}}\\\\=137.60\pm8.8108\\\\\\=[128.789,146.411]

Hence, the 95% confidence interval is between 128.79 and 146.41

b. -Given the sample mean is 137.6 and the standard deviation is 20.60.

-The confidence intervals can be constructed using the formula in a above;

\bar X\pm z\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}\\\\=137.60\pm z_{0.01/2}\times\frac{20.60}{\sqrt{21}}\\\\=137.60\pm3.291\times \frac{20.60}{\sqrt{21}}\\\\=137.60\pm 14.7940\\\\\\=[122.806,152.394]

Hence, the variable's 99% confidence interval is between 122.81 and 152.39

c. -Increasing the confidence has an increasing effect on the margin of error.

-Since, the sample size is particularly small, a wider confidence interval is necessary to increase the margin of error.

-The 99% Confidence interval is the most appropriate to use in such a case.
