Mathematics

Over [174]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = 3, y= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

12x-y=37

-5x-y=-14

12x-y=37

-1(-5x-y)=-1(-14)

12x-y+5x+y=37+14

17x = 51

(17x)/17 = 51/17

x = 3

12(3)-y=37

36-y=37

-y = 1

y = -1

vova2212 [387]
X - the fraction

17- 12x=\frac{1}{3} \times 17+6 \\
17-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}+6-17 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}-11 \\
-12x=\frac{17}{3}-\frac{33}{3} \\
-12x=-\frac{16}{3} \\
x=-\frac{16}{3} \times (-\frac{1}{12}) \\
x=\frac{16}{36} \\
x=\frac{4}{9}

The fraction is 4/9.

According to a recent​ publication, the mean price of new mobile homes is ​$63 comma 800. Assume a standard deviation of ​$7900.
wolverine [178]

Answer:

a. For n=25, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are ​$63,800 and ​$1,580​, respectively.

b. For n=50, the mean and standard deviation of the prices of the mobile homes all possible sample mean prices are ​$63,800 and ​$1,117​, respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, for each sample size, we have a sampling distribution (a distribution for the population of sample means), with the following parameters:

\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{n}

For n=25 we have:

\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{25}=7,900/5=1,580

The spread of the sampling distribution is always smaller than the population spread of the individuals. The spread is smaller as the sample size increase.

This has the implication that is expected to have more precision in the estimation of the population mean when we use bigger samples than smaller ones.

If n=50, we have:

\mu_s=\mu=63,800\\\\\sigma_s=\sigma/\sqrt{n}=7,900/\sqrt{50}=7,900/7.07=1,117

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

56 screws

Step-by-step explanation:

So, first we can find how many screws he needs.

So,  if he uses 2 steps for 8 screws, and has 14 steps, that means he puts screws in 7 steps ( 14÷2)

then, if he uses 8 screws, each with 8 steps, we can do 8 times 7, which is 56 screws
