One of the ways to solve a system of equation is by using the substitution method

The values of x and y are -9 and 5

<h3>How to use the substitution method </h3>

The equations are given as:

2x + 6y = 12

x + y = -4

Make x the subject in the second equation

x = -4 - y

Substitute x = -4 - y in the first equation

2(-4 - y) + 6y = 12

Expand

-8 - 2y + 6y = 12

Add 8 to both sides

- 2y + 6y = 20

So, we have:

4y =20

Divide through by 4

y = 5

Recall that:

x = -4 - y

So, we have:

x = -4 - 5

x = -9

Hence, the values of x and y are -9 and 5

X/w = z/y². solve for y

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify (cross multiply) to get $xy^2=wz$

Then we easily simplify to get $y=\sqrt{\frac{wz}{x}},\:y=-\sqrt{\frac{wz}{x}};\quad \:w\ne \:0,\:x\ne \:0$

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a stand

Art [367]

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal Variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

$\mu_G = 15$
