// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] x = 2y - 1

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [2]

[2] 2•(2y-1) - 5y = -3
[2] - y = -1
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = 1
// By now we know this much :

x = 2y-1
y = 1
// Use the y value to solve for x

x = 2(1)-1 = 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a part of a study of the treatment of anemia in cattle, researchers measured the concentration of selenium in the blood of 36 cows who had been given a dietary supplement of selenium (2 mg/day) for one year.

If x is the selenium concentration then

X has mean= 6.21 mg/dl

and std dev = 1.84

Sample size n = 36

std error of sample = $\frac{1.84}{\sqrt{36} } \\=0.307$
