Which of these steps will eliminate a variable in this system? 4x-9y=8 2x+3y=24

Answers

Answer 1

For eliminate a variables we need addition method or elimination method.

Define the term Variable?

In an equation or formula, a variable is a symbol or letter that stands in for an unknowable or varying quantity or value.

We can multiply the second equation by -2, so that the coefficient of x in both equations will be the same but with opposite signs:

⇒ 4x - 9y = 8

⇒ -4x - 6y = -48

Add the two equations together: ⇒ -15y = -40

⇒ y = 8/3

Substitute this value of y back into either equation to solve for x.

⇒ 4x - 9(8/3) = 8

⇒ 4x - 24 = 8

⇒ x = 8

Therefore, the steps to eliminate a variable in this system using the addition method are to multiply the second equation by -2, add the two equations together to eliminate the x variable, solve for y, and then substitute that value back into either equation to solve for x.

The SAT is required of most students applying for college admission in the United States. This standardized test has gone through many revisions over the years. In 2005, a new writing section was introduced that includes a direct writing measure in the form of an essay. People argue that female students generally do worse on math tests but better on writing tests. Therefore, the new section may help reduce the usual male lead on the overall average SAT score (The Washington Post, August 30, 2006). Consider the following scores on the writing component of the test of eight male and eight female students.

Required:
a. Construct the null and the alternative hypotheses to test if females outscore males on writing tests.
b. Assuming the difference in scores is normally distributed, calculate the value of the test statistic. Do not assume that the population variances are equal.
c. Implement the test at α=0.01 and interpret your results.

Answers

Answer:\

a

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]

b

[tex]t  = -0.39[/tex]

c

The conclusion

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the female outscores the male.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  sample size for male  is  [tex]n_1  =  30[/tex]

    The sample size for female is  [tex]n_2  =  30[/tex]

 The level of significance is  [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex]

The null hypothesis is  [tex]H_o : \mu_1 - \mu_2 \le 0[/tex]

The alternative hypothesis is  [tex]H_a :  \mu_1 - \mu_2 > 0[/tex]

Generally the sample mean for male is  

     [tex]\= x_1  =  \frac{\sum x_i}{n_1}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_1  =  \frac{620 + 570 +540 + \cdots + 580  }{30}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_1  =  574.33 [/tex]  

Generally the standard deviation of  male is  

     [tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_1 - \= x)^2}{n_1} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (620 - 574.33)^2 + (570 - 574.33)^2 +  (540 - 574.33)^2 + \cdots +(580 - 574.33)^2  }{30} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s_1 =206.24 [/tex]

Generally the sample mean for female is  

     [tex]\= x_2  =  \frac{\sum x_i}{n_2}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_2  =  \frac{660 + 590 +560 + \cdots + 560  }{30}[/tex]

=>   [tex]\= x_2  =  593.33 [/tex]      

Generally the standard deviation of  male is  

 [tex]s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_1 - \= x)^2}{n_2} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]\sigma_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (660 - 593.33)^2 + (590 - 593.33)^2 +  (560 - 593.33 )^2 + \cdots +(560 - 593.33)^2  }{30} }[/tex]

=>  [tex]s_2 =169.31 [/tex]

Generally the degree of freedom for unequal  variance is mathematically represented as  

[tex]df  =  \frac{[\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}  +\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}   ]^2}{ \frac{[\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}]^2}{n_1 -1}  +\frac{[\frac{s_2^2}{n_2}]^2}{n_2 -1}  }[/tex]

=> [tex]df  =  \frac{[\frac{206.24^2}{30}  +\frac{169.31^2}{30}   ]^2}{ \frac{\frac{206.24^2}{30}}{30 -1}  +\frac{\frac{169.31^2}{30}}{30 -1}  }[/tex]

=>[tex]df  = 56[/tex]

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

  [tex]t  = \frac{\= x _1- \= x_2 }{\sqrt{\frac{s_1^2}{n_1}  + \frac{s_2^2}{n_2}} }[/tex]

=> [tex]t  = \frac{574.33- 593.33 }{\sqrt{\frac{206.24^2}{30}  + \frac{169.31^2}{30}} }[/tex]

=> [tex]t  = -0.39[/tex]

From the t distribution table the value of  [tex]P(t < -0.39)[/tex] at a degree of freedom of  [tex]df  = 56[/tex] is  

   [tex]P(t <  -0.39) = 0.3490080[/tex]

Hence the p-value  is   [tex]p-value =  0.3490080[/tex]

From the values obtained we see that the p-value  is  >[tex]\alpha[/tex]

Hence we fail to reject the null hypothesis.

The conclusion is  

  There is sufficient evidence to conclude that the female outscores the male

Step-by-step explanation:

Dr. Pagels is a mammalogist who studies meadow and common voles. He frequently traps the moles and has noticed what appears to be a preference for a peanut butter-oatmeal mixture by the meadow voles vs apple slices are usually used in traps, where the common voles seem to prefer the appe slices. So he conducted a study where he used a peanut butten oatmeal mixture in half the traps and the normal apple slices in his remaining traps to see if there was a food preference between the two different votes
Indicate which of the following is the null hypothesis, and which is the alternate hypothesis
a. There food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.
b. There is a relationship between voles and food preference.
c. To test for independence, we need to calculate the Chi-square statistic.
These are the data that Dr. Pagels collected
meadow voles common voles
apple slices 15 21
peanut butter-oatmeal 25 16

Answers

Answer:

The food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis can be defined as follows:

H₀: The food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.

Hₐ: There is a relationship between voles and food preference.

The data provided is:

                                           meadow voles            common voles

                 apple slices                15                                   21

peanut butter-oatmeal               25                                    16

A Chi-square test for the Goodness of fit will be used.

The expected values are computed using the formula:

[tex]E_{i}=\frac{\text{ith Row Total}\times \text{jth Column Total}}{N}[/tex]

Consider the Excel sheet attached.

The Chi-square statistic value is 2.861.

Compute the degrees of freedom as follows:

df = (r - 1)(c - 1)

   = (2 - 1)(2 - 1)

   = 1

Compute the p-value as follows:

[tex]p-value=P(\chi^{2}_{(1)}>2.861)=\text{CHISQ.DIST.RT(2.861,1)}=0.091[/tex]

The p-value = 0.091 > α = 0.05

The null hypothesis will not be rejected.

Thus, it can be concluded that the food preferences among vole species are independent of one another.
