Answer:

x=3. y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to solve x and y, we need to take the equivelent sides of the two triangles, take their equations, and solve them.

So to find what x equals, we can take the 13, and make it equal to the 4x+1:

13=4x+1

Subtract the one from both sides:

12=4x

Divide both sides by 4:

3=x

<u>x=3</u>

So we know the x value is 3.

Now lets solve for y using the bottom equations:

2x+y=8x-2y

Subtract 1y from both sides:

2x=8x-3y

Subtract 8x from both sides:

-6x=-3y

Divide both sides by -6:

x=1/2y

So we already know that x=3, lets plug that in for x, and solve for y:

3=1/2y

1/2y=3

Multiply both sides by 2 to get 1y:

<u>y=6</u>

So we know that y is equal to 6.

Hope this helps!

Can you help me solve for x on this equation 2x+8=3x-4

Paul [167]

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!

Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.

2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8

Simplify!

2x = 3x - 12

Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.

2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x

Simplify!

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1.

-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1

Simplify.

x = 12

Listed below are systolic blood pressure measurements (mm Hg) taken from the right and left arms of the same woman. Consider the

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) $\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=72.2$

$s_d =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}} =9.311$

b) The 90% confidence interval would be given by (63.330;81.070)

$63.330 < \mu_{left}- \mu_{right}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts and notation

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".

Let put some notation

x=left arm , y = right arm

x: 175 169 182 146 144

y: 102 101 94 79 79

The first step is define the difference $d_i=x_i-y_i$ , that is given so we have:

d: 73, 68, 88, 67, 65

The second step is calculate the mean difference

$\bar d= \frac{\sum_{i=1}^n d_i}{n}=72.2$

The third step would be calculate the standard deviation for the differences, and we got:

$s_d =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (d_i -\bar d)^2}{n-1}} =9.311$

2) Confidence interval

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

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

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n-1=5-1=4$

Since the 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: "=-T.INV(0.05,4)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.13$
