Answer:
x = 17, y = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Isolate for x in "x - y = -3, -8":
x - y+y = -3, -8+y
x = -11 + y
2. Substitute "x = -11 + y" in for x in the second expression:
-11 + y + y = 45
3. Simplify:
-11 + 2y = 45
4. Isolate y:
-11+11 +2y = 45+11
2y = 56
y = 28
5. Substitute the new y-value into the first equation:
x = -11 + 28
x = 17

Hip Breadths and Aircraft Seats
Engineers want to design seats in commercial aircraft so that they are wide enough to fit 98% of all males. (Accommodating 100% of males would be too expensive.) Men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.4 in. and a standard deviation of 1.0 in. Find P 98. That is, find the hip breadth for men that separates the smallest 98% from the largest 2%.
