Answer:

 We are 98% confident interval for the mean caffeine content for cups dispensed by the machine between 107.66 and 112.34 mg .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -

The sample size is large then we can use central limit theorem

n = 50 ,  

Standard deviation(\sigma) = 7.1

Mean \overline{(y)} = 110

\alpha = 1 - confidence interval = 1 - .98 = .02

z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} = 2.33

98% confidence interval for the mean caffeine content for cups dispensed by the machine = \overline{(y)}\pm z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}\frac{\sigma}\sqrt{n}

                     = 110\pm z_{.01}\frac{7.1}\sqrt{50}

                      = 110\pm 2.33\frac{7.1}\sqrt{50}

       First we take  + sign

   110 +  2.33\frac{7.1}\sqrt{50} = 112.34

now  we take  - sign

110 -  2.33\frac{7.1}\sqrt{50} = 107.66

 We are 98% confident interval for the mean caffeine content for cups dispensed by the machine between 107.66 and 112.34 .

If we have 2 more blue pens than black pens, our blue pens can be rewritten as blue = 2 + black. Now we can set up an equation. Originally this equation would involve both blue and black, but since we only have 1 equation to set up, we can only have 1 unknown. That's why we base the number of blue pens on the number of black pens and do a substitution. So instead of blue + black = 94, we have (black + 2) + black = 94. That simplifies to 2 black + 2 = 94, and 2 black = 92. Now if we divide by 2, we get that the number of black pens is 46. If we have 2 more blue than black, the number of blue pens we have is 48. 46 + 48 = 94, so there you go!

agasfer [191]

Answer:

(0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug in 0 in all the variables of x, f(x)=0+0+5

We know that f(x) is y...so y=5, while x=0
