Answer: $0.58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent pencil and y represent eraser

10x + 7y = 4.23 → 1(10x + 7y = 4.23) → 10x + 7y = 4.23

3x + y = 0.95 → -3(3x + y = 0.95) → -21x - 7y = -6.65

-11x = -2.42

÷-11 ÷-11

x = 0.22

3x + y = 0.95

3(0.22) + y = 0.95

0.66 + y = 0.95

y = 0.29

2y = 2(0.29) = 0.58

The graph of a system of equations will intersect at exactly 1 point?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A system of equations can intersect at no points; this is when the lines are parallel, which means they have the same slope and different y-intercept. A system of equations can intersect at one point; this is when the lines have different slopes.

QveST [7]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 31.7 milligrams

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 28.5 milligrams

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 2.8 milligrams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 31.7\text{ milligrams}\\H_A: \mu < 31.7\text{ milligrams}$

We use One-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{28.5 - 31.7}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9}} } = -3.429$

Now, $t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 8 degree of freedom } = -1.860$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.
