Answer:

C. Inconsistent; none

Step-by-step explanation:

Given system:

2x + y = 7 ⇒ y = -2x + 7
y + 5 = -2x ⇒ y = -2x - 5

We observe that:

The slopes are same m = -2
The y-intercepts are different, b = 7 and b = - 5
The lines are parallel, so no solution

Correct choice is C

6. Antonio is a freelance computer programmer. In his work, he often uses 2n, where n is the number of bits, to find the number

densk [106]

In general 2^n is the number of pieces of information n bits can store.

(a) Antonio can use the formula 2^n-1 to indicate the maximum size of numbers an n-bit word can store.
(b) for a 16-bit system, the maximum number of keys Millie can collect is 2^(16)-1 = 65536-1=65535
(c) For a 14 byte program, there are 14*8=112 bits.

In a process that manufactures bearings, 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification. A shipment contains 500 bearings. A

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

(a) 0.94

(b) 0.20

Step-by-step explanation:

From a population (Bernoulli population), 90% of the bearings meet a thickness specification, let $p_1$ be the probability that a bearing meets the specification.

So, $p_1=0.9$

Sample size, $n_1=500$ , is large.

Let X represent the number of acceptable bearing.

Convert this to a normal distribution,

Mean: $\mu_1=n_1p_1=500\times0.9=450$

Variance: $\sigma_1^2=n_1p_1(1-p_1)=500\times0.9\times0.1=45$

$\Rightarrow \sigma_1 =\sqrt{45}=6.71$

(a) A shipment is acceptable if at least 440 of the 500 bearings meet the specification.

So, $X\geq 440.$

Here, 440 is included, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=439.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{339.5-450}{6.71}=-1.56$ .

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

$P(z\geq-1.56)=\int_{-1.56}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}}=0.94062$

Hence, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.94.

(b) We have the probability of acceptability of one shipment 0.94, which is same for each shipment, so here the number of shipments is a Binomial population.

Denote the probability od acceptance of a shipment by $p_2$ .

$p_2=0.94$

The total number of shipment, i.e sample size, $n_2= 300$

Here, the sample size is sufficiently large to approximate it as a normal distribution, for which mean, $\mu_2$ , and variance, $\sigma_2^2$ .

Mean: $\mu_2=n_2p_2=300\times0.94=282$

Variance: $\sigma_2^2=n_2p_2(1-p_2)=300\times0.94(1-0.94)=16.92$

$\Rightarrow \sigma_2=\sqrt(16.92}=4.11$ .

In this case, X>285, so, by using the continuity correction, take x=285.5 to compute z score for the normal distribution.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{285.5-282}{4.11}=0.85$ .

So, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is

$P(z\geq0.85)=\int_{0.85}^{\infty}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}}e^{\frac{-z^2}{2}=0.1977$

Hence, the probability that a given shipment is acceptable is 0.20.

(c) For the acceptance of 99% shipment of in the total shipment of 300 (sample size).

The area right to the z-score=0.99

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.99=0.001.

For this value, the value of z-score is -3.09 (from the z-score table)

Let, $\alpha$ be the required probability of acceptance of one shipment.

So,

$-3.09=\frac{285.5-300\alpha}{\sqrt{300 \alpha(1-\alpha)}}$

On solving

$\alpha= 0.977896$

Again, the probability of acceptance of one shipment, $\alpha$ , depends on the probability of meeting the thickness specification of one bearing.

For this case,

The area right to the z-score=0.97790

and the area left to the z-score is 1-0.97790=0.0221.

The value of z-score is -2.01 (from the z-score table)

Let $p$ be the probability that one bearing meets the specification. So

$-2.01=\frac{439.5-500 p}{\sqrt{500 p(1-p)}}$

On solving

$p=0.9053$

Hence, 90.53% of the bearings meet a thickness specification so that 99% of the shipments are acceptable.

How many solutions does this problem have Y=-2x -4 Y= 3x plus 3

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

There is one possible solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the number of solutions

We can proceed to solve the equation

we have two y values so we can directly equate the x parts

-2x - 4 = 3x + 3

3x + 2x = -3-4

5x = -7

x = -7/5

To get y, we substitute

We can only get one value of y too

So we have a point (x,y) as the solution to the system of equations

Cab companies often charge a flat fee for picking someone up and then charge an additional fee per mile driven.

Dahasolnce [82]

1a.) y=0.5x+2
1b.) The 0.5x is the slope. It represents the amount of extra money you are paying (in addition to the automatic $2) per mile. The y-intercept is 2. That represents the amount you automatically pay for that company.

2.a) I forgot how to do point-slope form, but for 2b., the slope is representing the same thing as in 1a. The slope is .65 and it is representing the amount of money you pay (in addition to the automatic $1.75) per mile.

To find the answers to the table question, use the slope intercept formula, y=.65x+1.75 Plug the numbers they are asking about in for x.

Example: Plugging in 3 we get y=(.65)(3)+1.75 which will equal 3.7 so the amount of money you pay after driving for 3 miles is $3.70.
