Answer:(-6,-2)

Explanation:
The elimination method calls for two variables that cancel each other out.
In this circumstance, you already have 3y and -3y.

First, make the orders of the equations the same. I got the x's to the same side on each equation.
This left me with:
x=3y 2x=3y-6.
Now, subtract the first equation from the second one to get x=-6.
That's the first part of the solution. For the y, you can just plug x into one of the equations and solve. I'll use the first one.
-6-3y=0.
Now get the ys to one side: -6=3y. Divide both sides by 3 to get y= -2.
Now that you have an x and a y coordinate, your solution is (-6,-2).

To check: plug both values in for their variables into each equation.
3(-2)-6=2(-6) solve to get... -12=-12, which is true, meaning the solution works for that equation.

-6-3(-2)=0 solve to get... 0=0. The solution works for both equations.

Lena [83]

Answer:

a) 0.0548 = 5.48% probability of a random sample of size 36 yielding a sample mean of 78 or more.

b) 0.9858 = 98.58% probability of a random sample of size 150 yielding a sample mean of between 71 and 77.

c) 0.5793 = 57.93% probability of a random sample of size 219 yielding a sample mean of less than 74.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
