What is the solution to the system of equations. 2x-y=7 y=2x+3

OLEGan [10]

To solve this, you can substitute the second equation into the first.

It becomes 2x-(2x+3)=7

Solve from here!

You get -3=7. Not possible. Therefore there is no solution to this system.

System is inconsistent. Hope this helps.

The proportion of high school seniors who are married is 0.02. Suppose we take a random sample of 300 high school seniors; a.) F

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

a) Mean 6, standard deviation 2.42

b) 10.40% probability that, in our sample of 300, we find that 8 of the seniors are married.

c) 14.85% probability that we find less than 4 of the seniors are married.

d) 99.77% probability that we find at least 1 of the seniors are married

Step-by-step explanation:

For each high school senior, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are married, or they are not. The probability of a high school senior being married is independent from other high school seniors. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$

The standard deviation of the binomial distribution is:

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)}$

In this problem, we have that:

$n = 300, p = 0.02$

a.) Find the mean and standard deviation of the sample count X who are married.

Mean

$E(X) = np = 300*0.02 = 6$

Standard deviation

$\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{np(1-p)} = \sqrt{300*0.02*0.98} = 2.42$

b.) What is the probability that, in our sample of 300, we find that 8 of the seniors are married?

This is P(X = 8).

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 8) = C_{300,8}.(0.02)^{8}.(0.98)^{292} = 0.1040$

10.40% probability that, in our sample of 300, we find that 8 of the seniors are married.

c.) What is the probability that we find less than 4 of the seniors are married?

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{300,0}.(0.02)^{0}.(0.98)^{300} = 0.0023$

$P(X = 1) = C_{300,1}.(0.02)^{1}.(0.98)^{299} = 0.0143$

$P(X = 2) = C_{300,2}.(0.02)^{2}.(0.98)^{298} = 0.0436$

$P(X = 3) = C_{300,3}.(0.02)^{3}.(0.98)^{297} = 0.0883$

$P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0023 + 0.0143 + 0.0436 + 0.0883 = 0.1485$

14.85% probability that we find less than 4 of the seniors are married.

d.) What is the probability that we find at least 1 of the seniors are married?

Either no seniors are married, or at least 1 one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

From c), we have that $P(X = 0) = 0.0023$ . So

$0.0023 + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

$P(X \geq 1) = 0.9977$

99.77% probability that we find at least 1 of the seniors are married

Michael is planting a garden. It has the shape of a right triangle. He wants 2 plants for each square foot of area. How many pl

algol13

Answer:

To find the area first you multiply 1/2 base x height. You take that figure and this finds the area.

You then multiply by 2 for the amount of plants.

We can use the equation A = 1/2 b * h P = A * 2
