Basic MathSolve the system of equations by graphing.
- 3x + 3y = 15
2x2y = - 10
Graph the system of equations and write the solution as an ordered pair.
Write "DNE" if the solution does not exist, or use the infinity symbol if the system has infinitely many
solutions.
If the two equations graph as the same line, plot only one line on the graph.
The graph will not be scored correctly if you try to plot two lines on top of each other.

Basic MathOff-Campus Housing. A university's housing and residence office wants to know how much students pay per month for rent in off-campus housing. The university does not have enough on-campus housing for students, and this information will be used in a brochure about student housing. They obtain a list of the 12,304 students who live in off-campus housing and have not yet graduated and mail a questionnaire to 200 students selected at random. Only 78 questionairres are returned.
(a) What is the population in this study? Be careful: about what group do they want information?
(b) What is the sample? Be careful: from what group do they actually obtain information?
The important message in this problem is that the sample can redefine the population about which information is obtained.

Basic MathKathryn draws three pairs of intersecting lines. In each figure, she measures a pair of vertical angles. What is a reasonable conjecture for Kathryn to make by recognizing a pattern and using inductive reasoning? When a pair of lines intersect, all of the angles formed are right angles.

Basic MathShared Pain and Bonding. Although painful experiences are involved in social rituals in many parts of the world, little is known about the social effects of pain. Will sharing painful experiences in a small group lead to greater bonding of group members than sharing a similar nonpainful experience? Fifty-four university students in South Wales were divided at random into a pain group containing 27 students, with the remaining students in the no-pain group. Pain was induced by two tasks. In the first task, students submerged their hands in freezing water for as long as possible moving metal balls at the bottom of the vessel into a submerged container; in the second task, students performed a standing wall squat with back straight and knees at 90 degrees for as long as possible. The no-pain group completed the first task using room temperature water for 90 seconds and the second task by balancing on one foot for 60 seconds, changing feet if necessary. In both the pain and no-pain settings, the students completed the tasks in small groups, which typically consisted of four students and contained similar levels of group interaction. Afterward, each student completed a questionnaire to create a bonding score based on answers to questions such as "I feel the participants in this study have a lot in common," or "I feel I can trust the other participants."¹1 (a) Outline the design of the experiment, following the model of Figure 9.4. (b) Explain how you will randomly assign the subjects at random to the two groups, and then carry out this randomization using software, the Simple Random Sample applet, or Table B beginning at line 125. (c) Why do you think the experimenter had students in the no-pain group complete similar pain-free tasks in small groups? Do you think this is important for the type of conclusion that can be reached? Explain.

Basic MathThe sample described in the previous exercise produced a list of 5024 licensed drivers. The investigators then chose an SRS of 880 of these drivers to answer questions about their driving habits. (a) How would you assign labels to the 5024 drivers? Choose the first five drivers in the sample. If you use Table B, start at line 119. (b) One question asked was, "Recalling the last ten traffic lights you drove through, how many of them were red when you entered the intersections?" Of the 880 respondents, 171 admitted that at least one light had been red. A practical problem with this survey is that people may not give truthful answers. What is the likely direction of the bias: do you think more or fewer than 171 of the 880 respondents really ran a red light? Why?
