Well,

If the slope of the lines are the same, then the lines are parralel.

We need to manipulate 2y - 10x = 4 into y = mx + b form.

Add 10x to both sides
2y = 10x + 4

Divide both sides by 2
y = 5x + 2

Do the same thing with the other equation.

Add 2 to both sides
y = 5x + 2

y = 5x + 2

It appears that, not only are they parallel, but they lie on exactly the same line! If this was a System of Simultaneous Linear Equations, then there would be an infinite number of solutions!<span />

A certain test preparation course is designed to help students improve their scores on the USMLE exam. A mock exam is given at t

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The critical value is $T = 4.604$ .

The 99% confidence interval for the average net change in a student's score after completing the course is (6.236, 22.164).

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this question is finding the sample mean and sample standard deviation:

14,11,18,9,19

Sample mean is sum of all values divided by the number of values. Thus:

$\overline{x} = \frac{14+11+18+9+19}{5} = 14.2$

The sample standard deviation is the square root of the division of the sum of the subtractions squared of each value and the mean, and the number of values. Thus:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{(14-14.2)^2+(11-14.2)^2+(18-14.2)^2+(9-14.2)^2+(19-14.2)^2}{5}} = 3.868$

Confidence interval:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, and so we use the t-distribution to build the confidence interval.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 5 - 1 = 4

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 4 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 4.604.
