Answer: The correct option is (B) (-2, 13).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the solution of the following system of equations :

$12q+3r=15~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)\\\\-4q-4r=-44~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Multiplying equation (ii) by 3, we have

$3(-4q-4r)=-44\times3\\\\\Rightarrow -12q-12r=-132~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(iii)$

Adding equations (i) and (iii), we get

$(12q+3r)+(-12q-12r)=15+(-132)\\\\\Rightarrow 3r-12r=15-132\\\\\Rightarrow -9r=-117\\\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{-117}{-9}\\\\\Rightarrow r=13.$

From equation (ii), we get

$-4q-4\times13=-44\\\\\Rightarrow -4q-52=-44\\\\\Rightarrow -4q=-44+52\\\\\Rightarrow -4q=8\\\\\Rightarrow q=\dfrac{8}{-4}\\\\\Rightarrow q=-2.$

Thus, the required solution is (q, r) = (-2, 13).

Option (B) is CORRECT.

The margin of error can be calculated with the formula:

ME = z · √(p(1-p)/n)

where:
p = sample proportion
n = sample size
z = z-score

In your case:
p = 90 / 120 = 0.75

ME = 2.58 · √(0.75·0.25/120)
= 0.10
= 10%

The margin of error will be 10%.

The annual salaries of all employees at a financial company are normally distributed with a mean of $34,000 and a standard devia

Alla [95]

Answer:

$z=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the The annual salaries of all employees at a financial company are normally distributed with a mean of $34,000 and a standard deviation of $4,000.

To solve our given problem we will use z-score formula.

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$ where,

$z=\text{z-score}$ ,

$x=\text{Sample score}$ ,

$\mu=\text{Mean}$ ,

$\sigma=\text{Standard deviation}$

Upon substituting our given values in z-score formula we will get,

$z=\frac{54,000-34,000}{4,000}$

$z=\frac{20,000}{4000}$

$z=5$

Therefore, the z-score of a company employee who makes an annual salary of $54,000 is 5.

Elan Coil [88]

Since the area of a square is equal to the square of one of its side's length, then the area should be equivalent to $x^{2}$ .
$A = x^{2}$ ---> equation (1)
By using pythagoras rule which states that the $x^{2} = hyp^2 - opposite^2$ ---> equation (2)
where the opposite side's length is 8 and the hypotenuse side's length is 10
by substituting by the values in equation (2) therefore,
$x^{2} = 10^{2} - 8^{2}$ substitute this value in equation (1) then
$A = x^{2} = 10^{2} -8^{2}$
where A is the area of the square whose side is x
