X + y = 24....multiply by -3
3x + 5y = 100
---------------
-3x - 3y = - 72 (result of multiplying by -3)
3x + 5y = 100
--------------add
2y = 28
y = 28/2
y = 14

x + y = 24
x + 14 = 24
x = 24 - 14
x = 10

solution is (10,14)...and x represents 3 point q's and y represents 5 point q's......so this tells me there are 10 three point q's and 14 five point q's.

Amanda [17]

If inspection department wants to estimate the mean amount with 95% confidence level with standard deviation 0.05 then it needed a sample size of 97.

Given 95% confidence level, standard deviation=0.05.

We know that margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

We assume that the values follow normal distribution. Normal distribution is a probability that is symmetric about the mean showing the data near the mean are more frequent in occurence than data far from mean.

We know that margin of error for a confidence interval is given by:

Me= $z/2* ST/\sqrt{N}$

α=1-0.95=0.05

α/2=0.025

z with α/2=1.96 (using normal distribution table)

Solving for n using formula of margin of error.

$n=(z/2ST/Me)^{2}$

n= $(1.96*0.05)^{2} /(0.01)^{2}$

=96.4

By rounding off we will get 97.

Hence the sample size required will be 97.
