1c. 3x - 2y = 6
x = 5 - 2y

What they mean by substitution is that you need to put that x that they gave you into the x of the first equation to get y.

Right now it looks like this:
3x - 2y = 6

Now you have to put (5 - 2y) into the x of the equation.

3(5 - 2y) - 2y = 6

Now solve.
First distribute the 3.

15 - 6y - 2y = 6

Combine like terms.

15 - 8y = 6

Get rid of the 15 by subtracting it from both sides.

-8y = -9

Divide both sides by -8.

y = 1.125

Now put the y into the second equation.

x = 5 - 2(1.125)
x = 5 - 2.25
x = 2.75


x = 2.75
y = 1.125

3x-2y=6

x=5-2y

 replace x in the 1st equation with x in the 2nd one so you get:

3(5-2y)-2y=6

15-6y-2y=6

15-8y=6

-8y=-9

y=1.125

x=5-2(1.125) = 5-(2.25)=2.75

check: 3(2.75)=8.25, 2(1.125)=2.25, 8.25-2.25 = 6

y = 1.125

x = 2.75

The inspection division of the Lee County Weights and Measures Department is interested in estimating the actual amount of soft
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The 98% confidence interval estimate of the true average amount of soft drink in each bottle is between 2.97 liters and 3.01 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, so we use the t-distribution to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 64 - 1 = 63

98% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 63 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99. So we have T = 2.387

The margin of error is:

M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.387\frac{0.06}{\sqrt{64}} = 0.02

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 2.99 - 0.02 = 2.97 liters

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 2.99 + 0.02 = 3.01 liters

The 98% confidence interval estimate of the true average amount of soft drink in each bottle is between 2.97 liters and 3.01 liters.
