Answer:

(2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 3y = - 5 → (1)

5x + 4y = 22 → (2) [ rearranged equation ]

Multiplying (1) by 4 and (2) by 3 and adding will eliminate the term in y

8x - 12y = - 20 → (3)

15x + 12y = 66 → (4)

Add (3) and (4) term by term to eliminate y, that is

23x = 46 ( divide both sides by 23 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

5)2) + 4y = 22

10 + 4y = 22 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

4y = 12 ( divide both sides by 4 )

y = 3

Solution is (2, 3 )

A sociologist was investigating the ages of grandparents of high school students. From a random sample of 10 high school student

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$(69.8-71.6) -2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= -8.908$

$(69.8-71.6) +2.101 \sqrt{\frac{8.38^2}{10} +\frac{6.65^2}{10}}= 5.308$

So then the confidence interval for the difference of means is given by:

$-8.908 \leq \mu_M -\mu_F \leq 5.308$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X_{M}= 69.8$ represent the mean for the age of grandmother

$\bar X_{F}= 71.6$ represent the mean for the age of grandfather

$s_{M}= 8.38$ represent the sample deviation for the age of grandmother

$s_{F}= 6.65$ represent the sample deviation for the age of grandfather

$n_M = n_F= 10$

Solution to the problem

For this case the confidence interval is given by:

$(\bar X_{M} -\bar X_F) \pm t_{\alpha/2} \sqrt{\frac{s^2_M}{n_M} +\frac{s^2_F}{n_F}}$

In order to calculate the critical value $t_{\alpha/2}$ we need to find first the degrees of freedom, given by:

$df=n_M +n_F-2=10+10-2=18$

Since the Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the value of $\alpha=0.05$ and $\alpha/2 =0.025$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-T.INV(0.025,18)".And we see that $t_{\alpha/2}=2.101$
