Solve by elimination 5x-15y=10 3x-5y=-6

1 answer:

6 0

Multiply bottom equation by -3 to add and eliminate y’s.

So...

5x-15y=10
+-9x+15y=18

You get -4x=28 so x=-7

Plug in to get y
5(-7)-15y=10
-35-15y=10
-15y=45
So y=-3

Check in other equation
3(-7)-5(-3)=
-21+15=-6

So x= -7 and y= -3

Answer:

Test statistic (t-value) of this one-mean hypothesis test is -2.422.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that according to a survey, the average American person watches TV for 3 hours per week. She surveys 19 New Yorkers randomly and asks them about their amount of TV each week, on average. From the data, the sample mean time is 2.5 hours per week, and the sample standard deviation (s) is 0.9 hours.

We have to test if the amount of TV in New York City is less than the national average.

Let Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu$ $\leq$ 3 {means that the amount of TV in New York City is less than the national average}
