Answer:

only (1) and (3) forms a pair of inconsistent system with x + 2y = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : a linear equation x + 2y = 5

We have to find a pair of equation that can pair with x + 2y = 5 to create an inconsistent system.

Consider a system of equation $a_1x+b_1y+c_1=0 \\\\a_2x+b_2y+c_2=0$

For the system to have no solution the condition is,

$\frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}$

We just have to check for the above condition, those pair whose x and y coefficient are in same ratio and constant coefficient are different, those pair will form an inconsistent system.

Thus, only (1) and (3) are multiple of given equation, thus forms a pair of inconsistent system.

X + 2y = 5
x = 5 - 2y

2x + 4y = 3
2(5-2y) + 4y = 3
10 - 4y + 4y = 3
10 ≠ 3

5x + 2y = 3
5(5-2y) + 2y = 3
25 - 10y + 2y = 3
-8y = 3 - 25
-8y = -22
y = -22/-8
y = 2.75

6x + 12y = 30
6(5-2y) + 12y = 30
30 -12y + 12y = 30
30 = 30

3x + 4y = 8
3(5-2y) + 4y = 8
15 - 6y + 4y = 8
-2y = 8 - 15
-2y = -7
y = -7/-2
y = 3.5

An inconsistent system is a system of equation that has NO SOLUTIONS.

2x + 4y = 3 is the equation to be paired with x + 2y = 50 to create an inconsistent system.

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. David has a score of 52 on Ms. Bond's test. Scores o

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, David has the higher standardized score

Step-by-step explanation:

Z-score:

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Which student has the higher standardized score

Whoever had the higher z-score.

David:

Scores on Ms. Bond's test have a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 11. David has a score of 52 on Ms. Bond's test. So $X = 52, \mu = 70, \sigma = 11$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{52 - 70}{11}$

$Z = -1.64$

Steven:

Scores on Ms. Nash's test have a mean of 64 and a standard deviation of 6. Steven has a score of 52 on Ms. So $X = 52, \mu = 64, \sigma = 6$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{52 - 64}{6}$

$Z = -2$

Due to the higher z-score, David has the higher standardized score

A discrete variable is a type of variable which contains a finite number of values. It usually takes its values from the set of whole numbers.

From the random variable described, the random variable that is descrete is "You measure the maximum heart rate in beats per minute".

This is because, heart rate cannot be partitioned it only takes counting number values. You either have 1 beat per minutes, 2 or 3 and so on beats per minute. But you cannot have 2.5 or 3.8 and so on beats per minute.
So heart rate cannot take decimal or fractional values and hence, it is a discrete random variable.

students at river view middle school are allowed to wear two different colors of uniform shirts. A survey of students at the sch

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

18 students are likely to be wearing red

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we know a student either wears red , or blue, with the probability of a student wearing red is 3 times more probable than wearing white.

So, let’s say out of the 24 students, x of them are wearing white. What this practically mean is that 3 * x = 3x of the students would be expected to be wearing red.

Now, adding the number of people wearing red and white together in terms of x, we have x + 3x = 4x

We equate this to 24; 4x = 24 and x = 24/4; x = 6

The number wearing red probably is 3 * x = 3 * 6 = 18 people
