Answer:

{x=2,y=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation 1:

Multiply both sides of the equation by a coefficient

{ 4(2x-y)=2*4

-5x+4y=-2

Apply Multiplicative Distribution Law

{8x-4y=2*4,-5x+4y=-2

8x-4y+(-5x+4y)=8+(-2)

Remove parentheses

8x-4y-5x+4y=8-2

Cancel one variable

8x-5x=8-2

Combine like terms

3x=8-2

Calculate the sum or difference

3x=6

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable

x=6/3

Calculate the product or quotient

x=2

Equation two:

{-5+4y=-2, x=2

-5*2+4y=-2

Calculate the product or quotient

-10+4y =-2

Reduce the greatest common factor (GCF) on both sides of the equation

-5+2y=-1

Rearrange unknown terms to the left side of the equation

2y=-1+5

Calculate the sum or difference

2y=4

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of the variable

y=4/2

y=2

Hope this helps!!

Out of 230 students, 11% chose gymnastics as their favorite sport. How many students does 11% represent? *

joja [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$11\% \: of \: 230 \\ \\ = \frac{11}{100} \times 230 \\ \\ = 0.11 \times 230 \\ \\ = 25.3 \\ = 25$

Hence 11% represents 25 students.

The function f is linear. If f(2) = 2 and f(-6)=6 find f(6)

lina2011 [118]

$The\ slope-intercept\ form:y=mx+b\\\\f(2)=2\to for\ x=2\to y=2\\f(-6)=6\to for x=-6\to y=6\\\\put\ in\ equation\ of\ the\ line:\\\\ -\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2=2m+b\\6=-6m+b\end{array}\right\ \ \ |subtract\ sides\ of\ the\ equations\\----------\\.\ \ \ -4=8m\ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\.\ \ \ \ \boxed{m=-\frac{1}{2}}\\\\put\ m=-\frac{1}{2}\ to\ equation\ 2=2m+b:\\\\2=2\cdot(-\frac{1}{2})+b\\2=-1+b\ \ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\boxed{b=3}\\\\\boxed{\boxed{y=-\frac{1}{2}x+3}}$

$therefore:f(x)=-\frac{1}{2}x+3\Rightarrow f(6)=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot6+3=-3+3=0\\\\Answer:\boxed{f(6)=0}$

The distribution of the average amount of sleep per night gotten by college students is roughly bell-shaped with mean 412 minute

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

$P(X$

$P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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 Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the scores of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(412,68)$
