Answer:

24 and 38

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assign the variables x and y to the two numbers we can set up two equations,

x+y = 62

x = y + 14

Substituting the second equation into the first,

(y+14)+y = 62

2y + 14 = 62

subtract 14 on both sides

2y = 48

divideboth sides by 2

y = 24

If y = 24, then x = 38 because x is 14 more than y.

My brother wants to estimate the proportion of Canadians who own their house.What sample size should be obtained if he wants the

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

a) $n=\frac{0.675(1-0.675)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1475.07$

And rounded up we have that n=1476

b) $n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1681$

And rounded up we have that n=1681

Step-by-step explanation:

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".

The population proportion have the following distribution

$p \sim N(p,\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}})$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

If solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

Part a

In order to find the critical value we need to take in count that we are finding the interval for a proportion, so on this case we need to use the z distribution. Since our interval is at 90% of confidence, our significance level would be given by $\alpha=1-0.9=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ . And the critical value would be given by:

$z_{\alpha/2}=\pm 1.64$

The margin of error for the proportion interval is given by this formula:

$ME=z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{n}}$ (a)

And on this case we have that $ME =\pm 0.02$ and we are interested in order to find the value of n, if we solve n from equation (a) we got:

$n=\frac{\hat p (1-\hat p)}{(\frac{ME}{z})^2}$ (b)

And replacing into equation (b) the values from part a we got:

$n=\frac{0.675(1-0.675)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1475.07$

And rounded up we have that n=1476

Part b

For this case since we don't have a prior estimate we can use $\hat p =0.5$

$n=\frac{0.5(1-0.5)}{(\frac{0.02}{1.64})^2}=1681$

And rounded up we have that n=1681

Water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level. Identif

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

Water pressure is the dependent quantity

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent quantity is a variable that can be changed in an experiment. While, dependent quantity results from the independent quantity or we can say, that depends upon the independent quantity.

Here,

The water pressure increases 0.44 pounds per square inch (0.44 psi) with each increase of one foot in depth below sea level,

So, for measuring the water pressure we took depth below sea level as a variable,

⇒ Depth below sea level is the independent quantity,

While, with increasing depth by 1 foot the pressure is also increase by 0.44 pounds per square inches ⇒ pressure depends upon the depth

⇒ Water pressure is the dependent quantity.

tell whether the system has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution. x = -7y + 24 x + 7y = 32

mylen [45]

This system has no solution.
x = -7y + 24 can be rewritten as x = 24 - 7y
to simplify x + 7y = 32, we have to subtract 7y from both sides
x = 32 - 7y
Now, our system is as follows:
x = 24 - 7y
x = 32 - 7y

What is the slope intercept of y/2-4=x/3

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y/2 - 4 = x/3 can also be written as 1/2y - 4 = 1/3x

slope intercept form is y = mx + b

1/2y - 4 = 1/3x....multiply entire equation by 6, to get rid of fractions

3y - 24 = 2x ...add 24 to both sides

3y = 2x + 24....divide both sides by 3

y = 2/3x + 6 <===
