Answer:

t=\pm 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".  

The t distribution or Student’s t-distribution is a "probability distribution that is used to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small (n<30) or when the population variance is unknown".

The shape of the t distribution is determined by its degrees of freedom and when the degrees of freedom increase the t distirbution becomes a normal distribution approximately.  

Data given

Confidence =0.99 or 99%

\alpha=1-0.99=0.01 represent the significance level

n =16 represent the sample size

We don't know the population deviation \sigma

Solution for the problem

For this case since we don't know the population deviation and our sample size is <30 we can't use the normal distribution. We neeed to use on this case the t distribution, first we need to calculate the degrees of freedom given by:

df=n-1=16-1=15

We know that \alpha=0.01 so then \alpha/2=0.005 and we can find on the t distribution with 15 degrees of freedom a value that accumulates 0.005 of the area on the left tail. We can use the following excel code to find it:

"=T.INV(0.005;15)" and we got t_{\alpha/2}=-2.95 on this case since the distribution is symmetric we know that the other critical value is t_{\alpha/2}=2.95

Answer:

(arranged from top to bottom)

System #3, where x=6

System #1, where x=4

System #7, where x=3

System #5, where x=2

System #2, where x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

System #1: x=4

2x+y=10\\x-3y=-2

To solve, start by isolating your first equation for y.

2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10

Now, plug this value of y into your second equation.

x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\x+6x-30=-2\\7x=28\\x=4

System #2: x=1

x+2y=5\\2x+y=4

Isolate your second equation for y.

2x+y=4\\y=-2x+4

Plug this value of y into your first equation.

x+2(-2x+4)=5\\x+(-4x)+8=5\\x-4x+8=5\\-3x=-3\\x=1

System #3: x=6

5x+y=33\\x=18-4y

Isolate your first equation for y.

5x+y=33\\y=-5x+33

Plug this value of y into your second equation.

x=18-4(-5x+33)\\x=18+20x-132\\-19x=-114\\x=6

System #4: all real numbers (not included in your diagram)

y=13-2x\\8x+4y=52

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

8x+4(13-2x)=52\\8x+52-8x=52\\0=0

<em>all real numbers are solutions</em>

System #5: x=2

x+3y=5\\6x-y=11

Isolate your second equation for y.

6x-y=11\\-y=-6x+11\\y=6x-11

Plug in your value of y to your first equation.

x+3(6x-11)=5\\x+18x-33=5\\19x=38\\x=2

System #6: no solution (not included in your diagram)

2x+y=10\\-6x-3y=-2

Isolate your first equation for y.

2x+y=10\\y=-2x+10

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

-6x-3(-2x+10)=-2\\-6x+6x-30=-2\\-30=-2

<em>no solution</em>

System #7: x=3

y=10+x\\2x+3y=45

Plug your value of y into your second equation.

2x+3(10+x)=45\\2x+30+3x=45\\5x=15\\x=3

A company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Suppose each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. If
jekas [21]

We have been given that a company makes wax candles in the shape of a solid sphere. Each candle has a diameter of 15 cm. We are asked to find the number of candles that company can make from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

To solve our given problem, we will divide total volume of wax by volume of one candle.

Volume of each candle will be equal to volume of sphere.

V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3, where r represents radius of sphere.

We know that radius is half the diameter, so radius of each candle will be \frac{15}{2}=7.5 cm.

\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot (7.5\text{ cm})^3

\text{Volume of one candle}=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 3.14\cdot 421.875\text{ cm}^3

\text{Volume of one candle}=1766.25\text{ cm}^3

Now we will divide 70,650 cubic cm of wax by volume of one candle.

\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650\text{ cm}^3}{1766.25\text{ cm}^3}

\text{Number of candles}=\frac{70,650}{1766.25}

\text{Number of candles}=40

Therefore, 40 candles can be made from 70,650 cubic cm of wax.

Solve the system of linear equations.
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

  • dependent system
  • x = 2 -a
  • y = 1 +a
  • z = a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by eliminating z, then we'll go from there.

Add 6 times the second equation to the first.

  (3x -3y +6z) +6(x +2y -z) = (3) +6(4)

  9x +9y = 27 . . . simplify

  x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 9 [eq4]

Add 13 times the second equation to the third.

  (5x -8y +13z) +13(x +2y -z) = (2) +13(4)

  18x +18y = 54

  x + y = 3 . . . . . . divide by 18 [eq5]

Equations [eq4] and [eq5] are identical. This tells us the system is dependent, and has an infinite number of solutions. We can find them in terms of z:

  y = 3 -x . . . . solve eq5 for y

  x +2(3 -x) -z = 4 . . . . substitute into the second equation

  -x +6 -z = 4

  x = 2 - z . . . . . . add x-4

  y = 3 -(2 -z)

  y = z +1

So far, we have written the solutions in terms of z. If we use the parameter "a", we can write the solutions as ...

  x = 2 -a

  y = 1 +a

  z = a

_____

<em>Check</em>

First equation:

  3(2-a) -3(a+1) +6a = 3

  6 -3a -3a -3 +6a = 3 . . . true

Second equation:

  (2-a) +2(a+1) -a = 4

  2 -a +2a +2 -a = 4 . . . true

Third equation:

  5(2-a) -8(a+1) +13a = 2

  10 -5a -8a -8 +13a = 2 . . . true

Our solution checks algebraically.

on monday, it rained 1 1/4 inches. On Tuesday, it rained 3/5 inch. How much more did it rain on Monday than on Tuesday?
34kurt
To find out how much more it rained, you subtract 1 1/4 or 1.25 and 3/5.
So you get 1.25-.6, which is .65 or 13/20 inches.
Hope this helps.
