Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of linear equation

x+y=-2... 1

2x-3y=-9... 2

The following steps are to be followed to get the x variable.

Step 1:

First we need to eliminate one out of the two variables.

To do this:

Multiply the first equation by 3 to have

3(x+y) = 3(-2)

3x+3y = -6

Step 2:

Add 3x+3y = -6 obtained in step 1. to equation 2 given (2x-3y=-9) and solve for x

Adding up we have:

5x = -6+(-9)

5x = -15

x = -15/5

x = -3

Step 3:

Substitute the value of x into the first equation (x+y = -2) to get y = 1

-3+y = -2

y = -2+3

y = 1

Step 4:

The solution to the system of equation is (-3,1)

Answer:

$X \sim N(114.8,13.1)$

Where $\mu=114.8$ and $\sigma=13.1$

We are interested on this probability

$P(X>140)$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

And we can find this probability using the complement rule:

$P(z>1.924)=1-P(z$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

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 Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
