For this case we have the following system of equations:
5x + 3y = 17
-8x - 3y = 9
We can rewrite the system like:
Ax = b
Where,
A = [5 3; -8 -3]
b = [17; 9]
x = [x; y]
The determinant of matrix A is given by:
lAl = ((5) * (- 3)) - ((3) * (- 8))
lAl = (-15) - (-24)
lAl = -15 + 24
lAl = 9
Answer:
The determinant for solving this linear system is:
lAl = 9

A consumer believes that a certain potato chip maker is putting fewer chips in their regular bags of chips than the advertised a

dybincka [34]

Answer:

a) No

b) No

c) P value is more than 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 12 ounces

Sample size, n = 49

P-value = 0.136

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 12\text{ ounces}\\H_A: \mu < 12\text{ ounces}$

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

a) Alpha, α = 0.05

Since, p-value > α,

The null hypothesis should not be rejected. We accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the average chip weight is 12 ounces per bag.

b) Alpha, α = 0.10

Since, p-value > α,

The null hypothesis should not be rejected. We accept the null hypothesis and reject the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the average chip weight is 12 ounces per bag.

c) The evidence is statistically significant at the .05 level means that the p value is more than 0.05.
