To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:
1. You have that the following information given in the problem above: The<span> photograph is reduced by a scale factor of 3/8 and the original had a length of 20 inches,
2- Therefore you have:
length=20 inches-</span>(20 inches x 3/8)<span>
length=20 inches-7.5 inches
length=12.5 inches
3- Then, as you can see, the answer is: 12.5 inches.</span>
You multiply 3x - y = 3.
So then it's:
6x - 2y = 3
-2x + 2y =6
which equals 4x = 9

Answer with explanation:</h2>
Let
be the average starting salary ( in dollars).
As per given , we have

Since
is left-tailed , so our test is a left-tailed test.
WE assume that the starting salary follows normal distribution .
Since population standard deviation is unknown and sample size is small so we use t-test.
Test statistic :
, where n= sample size ,
= sample mean , s = sample standard deviation.
Here , n= 15 ,
, s= 225
Then, 
Degree of freedom = n-1=14
The critical t-value for significance level α = 0.01 and degree of freedom 14 is 2.62.
Decision : Since the absolute calculated t-value (2.07) is less than the critical t-value., so we cannot reject the null hypothesis.
Conclusion : We do not have sufficient evidence at 1 % level of significance to support the claim that the average starting salary of the graduates is significantly less that $42,000.
