let the goldfish be x and the guppies be y

4x + 3y = 29...equ(1)

3x + 5y = 30...equ(2)

multiplying equation 1 by 5 and equation 2 by 3

20x + 15y = 145...equ(1)

9x + 15y = 90...equ(2)

subtracting equation 2 from 1

11x = 55

∴x = 5

substituting the value of x into equation

4(5) + 3y = 29

20 + 3y = 29

3y = 9

∴y =3

All you have to do here is combine like terms.
5x + 9x = 14x
.5 - 2.5 = -2

14x - 2

Describe the sampling distribution of p(hat). Assume the size of the population is 30,000.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

a) $\mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}$

b) $\mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

population mean $\mu$ = 30,000

sample size n = 800

population proportion p = 0.6

The mean of the the sampling distribution is equal to the population proportion.

$\mu_ \hat p = p$

$\mathbf{\mu_ \hat p = 0.6}$

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution can be estimated by using the formula:

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(1-0.6)}{800}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.6(0.4)}{800}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{\dfrac{0.24}{800}}$

$\sigma_p = \sqrt{3 \times 10^{-4}}$

$\mathbf{\sigma_p =0.01732}$
